Young Wallander (2020–2022) will not be continued. Netflix decides not to extend the mysterious crime series for a third season and pulls the plug on the story about detective Kurt Wallander (Adam Pålsson).
Killer’s Shadow
The series is based on the books by Henning Makell and premiered in 2020 with six episodes. The second season titled Killer’s Shadow was released in February 2022. Now, more than a year later, this appears to have been the last season.

Closed ending
After the closed end of season 2 – which saw Wallander get a seemingly easy case of a hit and run outside a nightclub – it was thought that the series will anthologically highlight a new case and new years of Wallander each season. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. The crime series has come to an end. A reason is not known, but Netflix confirms the news.
