Young Wallander

Young Wallander is a crime drama television series, based on Henning Mankell's fictional Inspector Kurt Wallander. The series premiered on Netflix on 3 September 2020. Star Adam Pålsson explained that the pre-imagining (i.e., Young Wallander being set in the present day) made more sense than a straight prequel, as it allowed for the social commentary which is a strong element of Mankell's original Wallander. This choice of setting the series in the modern day has been criticised in a number of reviews.

In November 2020, Young Wallander was renewed for a second series, which was premiered on Netflix on 17 February 2022, subtitled as Killer's Shadow. There are no plans for a third series.
