Netflix has announced that Dept. Q, the compelling crime series, has been renewed for another season. Are you ready for Dept. Q Season 2?
Look out, Dept. Q fans because Netflix has announced a second season of the gripping crime series. The first season of the series, which is an adaptation of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s novels, is now available to stream. The debut season was a major success for the streamer. The gritty series spent six weeks in the Global Top Ten on Netflix, giving viewers a glimpse into the UK crime scene with a touch of dark humor!
Dept. Q Season 2 will be filmed and set in Edinburgh, following the success of the first series’ location. Matthew Goode will return as DCI Carl Morck, accompanied by his team of misfits: Alexej Manvelov as Akram, Leah Byrne as Rose, and Jamie Sives as Hardy.
SCOTT FRANK
“I’m grateful to the folks at Netflix, as well as our shining cast and crew, for once more risking their careers to enable my folly” says writer/director Scott Frank.
Speaking of his return, Matthew Goode says, “I’d like to thank Netflix for giving us the opportunity to further investigate Department Q’s storylines. We have a wonderful cast and crew, headed by our resident genius Scott Frank. I cannot wait to read what comes from his magic quill!”
THE SERIES
In the series, DCI Carl Morck heads up the maverick Dept. Q from the basement of an Edinburgh police station. Charged with cases previously deemed unsolvable, this darkly humorous, propulsive show delivers all the pleasures of a procedural, taking us into the complex mysteries not just of the cases but of the detectives themselves.
Unfortunately, Netflix has not yet announced an official release date for the new season, but fans can rest assured that Dept. Q will be returning very soon.
