There’s teasing a show that’s a few months away, and then there’s this – Netflix just published the first teaser trailer for a highly-anticipated new thriller series, but you won’t believe the date that appears at the end. Its adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole detective series won’t be coming anytime in 2025, instead aiming for a 2026 release date.
That means this is a tease for a show that’s well over a year away from actually arriving on the streaming service, which leaves me wondering why Netflix even published a teaser in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for the show, but the length of that wait almost feels ridiculous.

There are mitigating circumstances here, despite Netflix’s status as the biggest and perhapsbest streaming serviceout there. For one thing, the production sounds like an extremely ambitious one – Netflix says that the show has shot in 160 locations, and that the shoot took 113 days.
In an era of shows likeThe Rings of Powerthat also take months to shoot, that’s not too insane, but for a more modest setting like a gritty detective drama, it’s fairly noteworthy. Still, all we see in the short teaser is a look at Tobias Santelmann as Harry Hole and Joel Kinnaman as Tom Waaler, sitting in Hole’s grotty apartment.

Fans of Jo Nesbo’s books will probably rejoice at how simple it looks, though. No one wants their favourite detective novels to be turned into something they’re not, so the fact that Netflix is already making a point of showing how dingy the show’s going to look is a good sign.
It’ll run through nine episodes, apparently, which also suggests that the structure of the show is already in hand. I’d assume it’ll get a new title before it arrives, though, sinceJo Nesbo’s Detective Holeisn’t the catchiest. Then again, given that the name is already public, perhaps it’s too late to tweak it. Either way, it sounds like Nesbo’s negotiated his own name into the title.
So, it’s time to strap in for alongwait, and that’s likely to just be the wait for another trailer! We’ve got over a year to go before the show appears – maybe that’s enough time to read a few Harry Hole novels to get ready.
