“Created by one of crime fiction’s greatest storytellers, Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole is a whodunnit serial killer mystery centered around the famous antihero Harry Hole,” says the logline of the show, which is set to premiere in 2026.
“Beneath the surface, this series is a nuanced character drama about two cops – and supposed colleagues – who operate on opposite sides of the law. During the first season, Harry clashes with his long-time adversary and corrupt detective Tom Waaler.
“Harry is a brilliant but tormented homicide detective battling his demons. As the two navigate the blurred ethical boundaries of the criminal justice system, Harry must do whatever it takes to catch a serial killer and bring Waaler to justice before it’s too late.”
