The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay when you buy, hold, and sell interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the Portfolio as a result of your purchase of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. The fees and expenses shown in the table and Example do not reflect fees and expenses separately charged by variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies. If the fees and expenses separately charged by variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies were included, the fees and expenses shown in the table and the Example would be higher.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] |
rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock |
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 20.7% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] |

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects adjustments made to the Portfolio’s operating expenses due to the fee waiver agreement with the investment adviser for the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:10.02pt;font-weight:bold;">PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES</span>
|
|
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] |
rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock |
The Portfolio normally invests primarily in foreign equity securities, including emerging market equity securities. The Portfolio normally invests its assets across different industries, sectors, countries, and regions, but the Portfolio may invest a significant percentage of its assets in issuers in a single industry, sector, country, or a particular geographic region.In conjunction with a team of investment research analysts, sector leaders select investments for the Portfolio. The adviser generally manages the Portfolio to align with the MSCI EAFE® (Europe-Australasia-Far East) Index (the “Index”) with respect to sector weightings. The Portfolio does not, as a matter of policy, concentrate in any particular industry. The Portfolio is not constrained by any particular investment style. The adviser may invest the Portfolio’s assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies), in the stocks of companies it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies), or in a combination of growth and value companies. The Portfolio’s investments in equity securities may include securities of companies of any capitalization level, and could include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into stock and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and other depositary receipts for those securities.The adviser uses an active “bottom up” investment approach to buying and selling investments for the Portfolio, which emphasizes individual stock selection. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition, and market, economic, political and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer’s earnings, cash flows, competitive position and management ability. The adviser may also consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in its fundamental investment analysis where the adviser believes such factors could materially impact the economic value of an issuer. ESG factors considered may include, but are not limited to, climate change, resource depletion, an issuer's governance structure and practices, data protection and privacy issues, and diversity and labor practices. Consideration of ESG factors may not be determinative in the adviser’s investment process and the adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions for the Portfolio. Quantitative screening tools that systematically evaluate an issuer’s valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality and other factors, may also be considered.The adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons such as to seek to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others.

Performance Narrative [Text Block] |
rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock |
The following bar chart illustrates the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing how the performance of the Portfolio has varied from year to year. The table to the right of the bar chart shows the Portfolio’s average annual total return over certain time periods and compares the Portfolio’s returns with those of an index that closely aligns with the Portfolio’s investment strategy (Strategy Index). The table also shows the Portfolio’s returns against an index that represents the overall securities market (Broad-Based Index), which the Portfolio has added to comply with new regulatory requirements. Prior to November 1, 2021, the Portfolio was managed by a different sub-adviser. Performance shown may have been different if the current strategy, and the current sub-adviser, had been in place during the periods shown. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.Neither the bar chart nor the table reflects the fees and expenses separately charged by the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy separate account that invests in the Portfolio and returns would be lower if those fees and expenses were reflected.

Research International Core Portfolio | ADR Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•ADR Risk – ADRs are receipts representing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer held by a U.S. bank or similar financial institution that entitle the holder to dividends and capital gains on the underlying foreign shares. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. They, and other similar depositary receipts, are subject to many of the risks associated with direct investments in foreign securities, such as currency risk, political and economic risk and market risk, because their values depend on the performance of the non-dollar denominated underlying foreign securities. The Portfolio is also subject to fees and the credit risk of the financial institution holding the ADRs or other depositary receipts. ADRs may be “sponsored,” meaning that they are implemented by a financial institution in collaboration with the issuing foreign company, or “unsponsored,” meaning that the financial institution created the instrument without the sponsorship or direct involvement of the foreign company. Differing registration requirements apply to each type of ADR. ADRs may transact on exchanges or on over-the-counter markets (“OTC”). Conducting transactions in OTC markets may result in higher costs, a lack of pricing transparency and lower liquidity when compared with exchange-based transactions. Risks associated with different ADR types will vary, based upon differences in registration, reporting and disclosure requirements that apply to such ADRs and the characteristics of the market in which transactions for the particular ADR are conducted.

Research International Core Portfolio | Convertible Securities Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |

|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Convertible Securities Risk – Convertible securities (which can be bonds, notes, debentures, preferred stock, or other securities which are convertible into or exercisable for common stock), are subject to both the credit and interest rate risks associated with fixed income securities and to the stock market risk associated with equity securities. The value of a convertible security may not increase or decrease as rapidly as the underlying common stock. The Portfolio may be forced to convert a security before it would otherwise choose, which may have an adverse effect on the Portfolio’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

Research International Core Portfolio | Emerging Markets Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Emerging Markets Risk – Investing in emerging market securities increases foreign investing risk, and may subject the Portfolio to more rapid and extreme changes in the value of its holdings compared with investments made in U.S. securities or in foreign, developed countries. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to political, economic, legal, market, and currency risks. Emerging market securities trade in smaller markets which may experience significant price and market volatility, fluctuations in currency values, interest rates and commodity prices, higher transaction costs, and the increased likelihood of the occurrence of trading difficulties, such as delays in executing, clearing and settling Portfolio transactions or in receiving payment of dividends. Special risks associated with investments in emerging market issuers may include a lack of publicly available information, a lack of uniform disclosure, accounting, financial reporting, and recordkeeping standards, and more limited investor protection provisions when compared with developed economies. Emerging market risks also may include unpredictable and changing political, economic and tax policies, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses, and the imposition of sanctions or restrictions in certain investments by other countries, such as the United States.

•Equity Securities Risk – The value of equity securities, such as common and preferred stocks, could decline if the financial condition of the companies the Portfolio is invested in declines or if overall market and economic conditions deteriorate. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
|
|
Research International Core Portfolio | ESG Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•ESG Risk – Incorporating the consideration of ESG factors in the investment process may result in the exclusion of certain securities for non-investment reasons and therefore the Portfolio may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not consider ESG factors. The evaluation of ESG factors may affect the Portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Portfolio may underperform other funds that do not consider ESG factors or that use different ESG factors to evaluate a security. Information used to evaluate ESG factors may not be readily available, complete, or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers, as ESG factors are not uniformly defined or assessed. There is no guarantee that evaluating ESG considerations for individual securities will positively contribute to the Portfolio’s performance results.

rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Foreign Currency Risk – The risk that foreign (non-U.S. dollar) currency denominated securities, or derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, may be adversely affected by decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar. Investments in securities subject to foreign currency risk may have more rapid and extreme changes in value or more losses than investments in U.S. dollar denominated securities.

|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Foreign Investing Risk – Investing in foreign securities may subject the Portfolio to more rapid and extreme changes in value or more losses than a fund that invests exclusively in U.S. securities. This risk is due to potentially smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political and economic conditions, or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may be less liquid, more volatile, and harder to value than U.S. securities.

|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Geographic Focus Risk – The Portfolio’s performance could be more volatile than that of a more geographically diversified fund and could be significantly impacted as a result of the Portfolio investing a large percentage of its assets in issuers located in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. Also, the Portfolio’s performance may be more closely tied to the market, currency, economic, political, or regulatory conditions in those countries or that region.

|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Investment Style Risk – A portfolio managed using a particular style of investing, such as growth or value or a combination of both, may underperform when the market does not favor the particular style used by the Portfolio. Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market conditions and investor sentiment.

|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Large Cap Company Risk – Investing in large cap stocks could cause the Portfolio to underperform in markets favoring faster growing companies. Large cap stocks tend to be more mature with fewer opportunities to grow and may not have the same growth potential as stocks with smaller capitalizations.
|
|
Research International Core Portfolio | Liquidity Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Liquidity Risk – Markets for small cap stocks and foreign securities, in particular emerging markets securities, may be less liquid than markets for larger cap stocks and domestic securities, and therefore may be difficult to purchase or sell at an advantageous time or price, if at all. These risks may be magnified during periods of economic turmoil or in an extended economic downturn.

|
Research International Core Portfolio | Market Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Market Risk – The risk that the market price of securities owned by the Portfolio may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which magnifies the potential that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region. Geopolitical and other events, including war, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises (such as epidemics and pandemics), and related events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility, which may disrupt U.S. and world economies and markets and may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on the Portfolio and its investments.

Research International Core Portfolio | Preferred Stocks Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Preferred Stocks Risk – Preferred stocks often lack a fixed maturity or redemption date and are therefore more susceptible to price fluctuations when interest rates change. They also carry a greater risk of non-receipt of income because unlike interest on debt securities, dividends on preferred stocks must be declared by the issuer’s board of directors before becoming payable.
|
|
Research International Core Portfolio | Sector Focus Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Sector Focus Risk – To the extent the Portfolio invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in a particular sector or industries within a sector, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with that sector, including the risk that the securities of companies within the sector will underperform due to adverse economic conditions, regulatory or legislative changes, or increased competition affecting the sector. To the extent the Portfolio is underweight in other sectors, the Portfolio risks missing out on advances in those sectors.

|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |
rr_RiskReturnAbstract |
|
|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Small and Mid Cap Company Risk – Investing in small and mid cap stocks may cause greater risk of loss and price fluctuation than investing in stocks of larger cap companies due to a more limited track record, narrower product markets, more limited resources and less liquid trading markets. These stocks may be more volatile and more difficult to buy and sell than stocks with larger capitalizations.

Research International Core Portfolio | Underlying Portfolio Risk [Member] |
|
|
|
Risk Return Abstract |

|
Risk [Text Block] |
rr_RiskTextBlock |
•Underlying Portfolio Risk – The Portfolio may serve as an investment option, or “Underlying Portfolio,” for other portfolios of Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. that are managed as “fund of funds.” As a result, from time to time, the Portfolio may experience relatively large investments or redemptions from those other portfolios and could be required to invest cash or sell securities at a time when it is not advantageous to do so.
