Yes, there is exciting news about “The Chestnut Man” (likely what you meant by “the cheanuts man”) and its “mùa mới” (new season)! Netflix has confirmed a standalone sequel series to the original Danish crime show that aired in 2021. While it’s not a direct Season 2, it brings back the same beloved detectives, Naia Thulin (played by Danica Curcic) and Mark Hess (played by Mikkel Boe Følsgaard), for a brand-new investigation.
What’s the New Series About?
The sequel, set to premiere in 2026, dives into a chilling new case. This time, Thulin and Hess are on the trail of a mysterious stalker terrorizing women in Copenhagen. The perpetrator plays a twisted game of hide-and-seek, taunting victims with pictures, videos, and eerie nursery rhymes. The investigation also connects to an unsolved murder from years ago, where a high school student was stalked and found dead. Alongside the gripping crime plot, the series will explore the complicated relationship between Thulin and Hess. After a brief romance following the first season, they parted ways with unresolved feelings—expect some emotional tension!
New Faces Joining the Cast
The sequel introduces fresh talent to the mix, including:
Sofie Gråbøl, a Danish star known for her role in The Killing (another hit by creator Søren Sveistrup).
Katinka Lærke Petersen, adding more depth to the ensemble.
When Can You Watch It?
Mark your calendars for 2026! While it’s a bit of a wait, this standalone sequel promises to deliver the same suspense and character-driven storytelling that made The Chestnut Man a hit. Stay tuned for more updates as the premiere gets closer—fans of the original won’t want to miss this next chapter!
