'Young Wallander' Season 2: Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about Netflix's detective series
Netflix's 'Young Wallander', a modern reimagining of the legendary detective Kurt Wallander, is a curious look into the formative years of Kurt. Starring Adam Pålsson in the titular role, the series focuses on his first case and how it shaped the man we have come to know via Swedish writer Henning Mankell's books.
Here's everything we know about season 2 so far:
Release date
Netflix hasn't renewed 'Young Wallander' for Season 2 yet. We will update this article when it does.
Plot
Season 1 of Netflix's 'Young Wallander' is based on the bestselling novels by Henning Mankell. It is a modern reimagining of Kurt Wallander and looks into the formative years of the character as a 20-something beat cop and his move to Major Crimes. This first case of his career remains largely unsolved, and therefore, increases the possibility of Season 2.
While Netflix hasn't renewed the show yet, it is likely that Season 2 will take off from the events of the previous season and see Kurt solve another crime. At the same time, his guilt from this case will overflow into the new one and the series might also follow that.
