Wallander

Acclaimed series featuring world-famous detective Kurt Wallander, based on original stories by novelist Henning Mankell.

Jarowskij/Yellow Bird for TV4 and ARD Degeto

3 x 90'

Format available

The first season of this new Swedish language adaptation will comprise three 90-minute films, with Gustaf Skarsgård (Oppenheimer, Vikings) playing the iconic role. The series will be directed by Molly Hartleb (Riding In Darkness, Top Dog) and the duo behind the highly-anticipated Egghead Republic, Pella Kågerman & Hugo Lilja.

At 42, Kurt Wallander’s life is unravelling. Newly separated after two decades of marriage and estranged from his daughter, he’s a man on the edge. Wallander drinks too much, sleeps too little, and carries the weight of every unsolved case. He is pushed to the limits as he confronts high-stakes cases, and this new adaptation goes deeper than ever before, taking the audience under the skin of this intriguing character, with a raw portrayal of a modern man navigating personal collapse, while attempting to uphold his detective work.
