The Chestnut Man
Netflix • May 7, 2026The Chestnut Man is set in the quiet suburb of Copenhagen, where the police make a terrible discovery one blustery October morning. A young woman is found brutally murdered in a playground and one of her hands is missing. Above her hangs a small man made of chestnuts. The ambitious young detective Naia Thulin is assigned to the case, along with her new partner, Mark Hess. They soon discover a mysterious piece of evidence on the chestnut man evidence connecting it to a girl who went missing a year earlier and was presumed dead - the daughter of politician Rosa Hartung.
The Blue Road and The Chestnut Man both make the pleasure of a dark detective story the slow click of clues falling into place. The Blue Road follows two investigators decoding messages across borders, while The Chestnut Man brings a young detective and her older partner into a grisly Copenhagen murder hunt, with a colder, more disturbing mood.
