HARRY HOLE STICKER

Netflix launched Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole on March 26, 2026 as a nine-episode Norwegian adaptation of The Devil’s Star, with Jo Nesbø himself writing and showrunning, Tobias Santelmann playing Harry Hole, and Joel Kinnaman as Tom Waaler. about.netflix.com It immediately became a real Netflix hit, taking No. 1 on the global non-English TV list with 6.9 million views for the week of March 30 to April 5, and it was still sitting in the global Top 10 for April 13 to April 19. netflix.com People care because this is basically the redemption arc the Harry Hole property needed: NPR said it gets right what the disastrous 2017 film The Snowman got wrong, and Rotten Tomatoes has Season 1 at 91% with critics. upr.org The trend got fresh oxygen on April 24 when the Nick Cave and Warren Ellis soundtrack album dropped, which only made the show feel even more like deluxe, freezing-cold prestige misery. filmmusicreporter.com But the real internet accelerant is the title itself: Netflix’s own materials note the Norwegian title is Jo Nesbøs Harry Hole, while English-speaking viewers keep short-circuiting over the phrase “Detective Hole” and the name “Harry Hole.” about.netflix.com
