If you binged The Chestnut Man back in 2021 and have been quietly waiting ever since — your wait is finally over.

What Is the New Season About?
The six-part sequel centres on a deeply unsettling case: a 41-year-old woman is reported missing, and when investigators dig into her digital life, they discover she had been stalked for months. Her unknown tormentor had been sending her images, videos, and an eerie nursery rhyme-style counting song — turning her entire existence into an involuntary, terrifying game of hide and seek.
When she is later found murdered, the case connects to an unsolved killing of a 17-year-old high school student from two years prior. The detectives are left grappling with a chilling question: what links these two victims — and when will the perpetrator decide to “play” again?
Fan-favourite investigators Mark Hess and Naia Thulin return to untangle the web, alongside an expanded ensemble cast including Sofie Gråbøl, Katinka Lærke Petersen, and Özlem Sahlanmak.
The Chestnut Man original series was adapted from Søren Sveistrup’s bestselling novel and became one of Netflix’s most acclaimed Nordic noir offerings, praised for its intricate plotting and deeply atmospheric tension. Hide and Seek promises to deliver the same bone-chilling intensity, now built on an even more elaborate cat-and-mouse premise.
