As of March 5, 2025, The Chestnut Man season 2 has not been officially announced as a direct sequel, but Netflix has confirmed a related project: a standalone sequel series. This information was revealed in Netflix’s Nordic content development plan for 2024-2026, announced in March 2024. The sequel is scheduled to premiere in 2026, with the return of lead actors Danica Curcic (as Naia Thulin) and Mikkel Boe Følsgaard (as Mark Hess).
Details:
Status: Not a “season 2” in the traditional sense, but a new standalone story that may not directly follow the plot of season 1. Season 1, which debuted on September 29, 2021, completely solved the “Chestnut Man” case, so the new season will likely focus on a different case.
Cast: Danica Curcic and Mikkel Boe Følsgaard are confirmed to return. Other cast members like David Dencik (Simon Genz) and Iben Dorner (Rosa Hartung) have not been mentioned, possibly due to their “standalone” nature.
Screenplay: Emilie Lebech Kaae and Dorte Warnøe Høgh wrote the script, Milad Alami is the concept director, and SAM Productions is producing.
Plot: No specific details from Netflix about the plot, but expect Thulin and Hess to face a new case, which may or may not be related to the old one. Some fan speculation on X suggests a case of digital stalking based on a hint from Netflix Nordics.
