The crime and thriller writer Jo Nesbø is one of the most prominent authors in his field. His novels have been made into films several times, but good works are not always the result.

There is a comprehensive story about the film about everything that went wrong during production.
At Netflix, Jo Nesbø should now take care of himself again. The streaming service is working with the author on a new crime series.
