Peter Stormare, the actor who gained recognition for his role as Gaear Grimsrud in the iconic film Fargo, has officially joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming crime series Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole. The highly anticipated series is based on Nesbø’s acclaimed novels about Detective Harry Hole, and will feature an impressive ensemble cast, including Stormare alongside actors Joel Kinnaman, Tobias Santelmann, and Pia Tjelta, as well as newcomers Anders Baasmo, Ellen Helinder, Simon Berger, and Kelly Gale. The show is a whodunnit serial mystery that follows the efforts of Detective Harry Hole, a brilliant but troubled investigator, as he works alongside a corrupt cop, Tom Waaler, to track down a serial killer. Hole’s unique approach to crime-solving and his troubled inner demons will undoubtedly create a compelling dynamic as he navigates the complex and suspenseful plot.
Stormare’s versatility as an actor, demonstrated in his past roles in shows such as Prison Break, suggests that he will bring a new level of depth to his character in Detective Hole. With his ability to convincingly portray characters with darker intentions, Stormare is likely to inject a chilling presence into the series. The show’s promise of twists and turns will keep viewers on the edge of their seats as the intricate plot unfolds. With the cast and crew now in place, fans of the series can eagerly anticipate a thrilling ride when Detective Hole premieres in 2026.
