Wallander ({{IPA|sv|vaˈlǎnːdɛr}}) is a Swedish television series adapted from Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander novels, starring Krister Henriksson in the title role. The first season of thirteen films was produced in 2005 and 2006, with one taken directly from a novel and the remainder with new storylines suggested by Mankell. The second season of thirteen films was shown between 2009 and 2010. The stories are set in Ystad, Skåne near the southern tip of Sweden.

The three films Before the Frost (#1), Mastermind (#6), and The Secret (#13) were premiered in cinemas, with the rest first released as direct-to-DVD movies. The first episode of the second series, Hämnden (The Revenge), was released in Swedish cinemas in January 2009; the rest of the series was made for television. A third and final season, containing six 90 minute episodes, aired in 2013 with Charlotta Jonsson replacing the late Johanna Sällström as Linda Wallander."[http://cineuropa.org/2011/nw.aspx?t=newsdetail&l=en&did=221941 Wallander is on the case again, in six new Mankell thrillers] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130112223243/http://cineuropa.org/2011/nw.aspx?t=newsdetail&l=en&did=221941 |date=2013-01-12 }}".

Season 2, 2009–10

In 2008, a further 13 films were commissioned. Filming began in August 2008, and continued during 2009.Rehlin, Gunnar (26 March 2008). "[https://variety.com/2008/film/news/tv4-picks-up-more-wallander-pics-1117982927/ TV4 picks up more Wallander pics] ". Variety (Reed Business Information). Retrieved on 28 November 2008. The 13 episodes were released during 2009 and 2010.

The first of these films, Hämnden (The Revenge), was a theatrical release on 9 January 2009, directed by award-winning Paris-based Franco-Swedish director Charlotte Brandström.{{Cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0104851/ |title=Charlotte Brändström - IMDb |website=IMDb |access-date=2018-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218173758/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0104851/ |archive-date=2017-02-18 |url-status=live }} The remaining 12 films went directly to DVD in Scandinavia during 2009 and 2010, and were broadcast there at a later date. In the beginning of 2010, both Canvas TV in Belgium and BBC Four in the UK began airing the 13 episodes weekly, which meant that they both showed the two last episodes before these had been released in Scandinavia.

Hämnden (The Revenge) also received a brief US theatrical release on May 25, 2012, from Music Box Films, as a tie-in to promote their American VOD release of the Season 2 episodes.https://nordiskfilmogtvfond.com/news/extras/wallander-gets-day-and-date-release-in-the-us

Reception

To coincide with the BBC television adaptation, Wallander, BBC Four began broadcasting the 2005 series to United Kingdom audiences. Before the Frost and Mastermind were shown in November 2008; broadcast of the others began weekly in July 2009. Reviewing The Village Idiot and The Brothers in the Financial Times, John Lloyd wrote:

More evident is the philosophical underpinning that the books' author, Henning Mankell, brings, focusing down on the forensic work of a provincial detective the global sins of the western world. This coming week’s episode, The Brothers, is a murder mystery emerging from a terrible crime perpetrated by a group of drunken men on colonised people; last week's, The Village Idiot, had at its core the moral obloquy of a private surgeon greedy for profit.

Wallander and his comrades seek what remedies they can to the consequences of the sins of oppression and greed. At one point, Wallander tells his daughter, Linda, who is applying to become a detective, that she should reflect—otherwise she, like him, will emerge from a tunnel 30 years later, wondering what had happened to life. What had happened for Wallander is a melancholy immersion in human degradation, a provincial Inferno without a Virgil to guide him.Lloyd, John (18 July 2009). "[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/c7a30e6e-7261-11de-ba94-00144feabdc0.html Virtue provides its own rewards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091022081209/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/c7a30e6e-7261-11de-ba94-00144feabdc0.html |date=2009-10-22 }}". Financial Times.

Writing in Örnsköldsviks Allehanda after the release of The Thief (2009), Peter Carlsson complained that only the first and last films of the successive series were any good, pointing out that these are the ones released to cinemas. Carlsson further criticised that the middle films "are often predictable, tentative and carelessly made", and that the arrest of the criminal is anticlimactic.Carlsson, Peter (21 August 2009). "[http://allehanda.se/noje/kronikor/1.1293251 Det törstande deckarsamhället]". Örnsköldsviks Allehanda.

As a series, Wallander has been nominated for The International TV Dagger at the 2009 Crime Thriller Awards, an awards ceremony presented by British television channel ITV3 and the Crime Writers' Association.{{cite news|author= Allen, Kate|date= 7 September 2009|url= http://www.thebookseller.com/news/96297-coben-cole-atkinson-vie-for-crime-awards.html|title= Coben, Cole, Atkinson vie for crime awards|work= The Bookseller|access-date= 7 September 2009|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090910005647/http://www.thebookseller.com/news/96297-coben-cole-atkinson-vie-for-crime-awards.html|archive-date= 10 September 2009|url-status= dead}}
