Today, Netflix announced a second season of the gripping crime procedural series Dept. Q has been commissioned. The first season of Dept. Q, an adaptation of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s novels, is available to stream globally now.
Season 2 will be filmed and set in Edinburgh following the success of the location in the first series. Matthew Goode will also return as DCI Carl Morck along with his team of misfits – Alexej Manvelov as Akram, Leah Byrne as Rose and Jamie Sives as Hardy.
“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!”
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.
The renewal follows the success of the show’s debut series which captivated audiences with its shocking twists and turns.
