💥 Cold cases don’t stay buried forever… and neither does Dept. Q season 2
After leaving millions obsessed with its dark twists, the Danish detective phenomenon is officially returning for Season 2 on Netflix. 🔥 This time, the crimes cut deeper, the enemies get smarter, and the secrets? Even deadlier. 👀
Fans are already saying: “Forget True Detective — THIS is the real deal.” ⚡
The Edinburgh-set crime drama from Scott Frank stars Matthew Goode.
Netflix will return to the streets of Edinburgh and Dept. Q.
The streamer has ordered a second season of Dept. Q, its Scotland-set crime drama starring Matthew Goode and created by Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit). The renewal comes about 2 1/2 months after the series premiered to both solid reviews and audience numbers.
The series, based on novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, stars Goode as Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck, who leads a small team that works cases that were previously considered unsolvable from a basement office in Edinburgh. Alexej Manvelov, Leah Byrne and Jamie Sives also star.
“We are going downstairs to Dept. Q for a second season,” said executive producer Rob Bullock of Left Bank Pictures. “We at Left Bank Pictures nervously await what Scott has in store for his alter-ego Carl Morck, and the other enabling members of team do-lally. We salute Netflix’s courage to let them loose once again.”
Added 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.”
Dept. Q spent six weeks in Netflix’s top 10 English language series worldwide, amassing some 222 million hours (equivalent to about 27 million complete showings of the season). In the United States, it drew 47.57 million hours of viewing over four weeks in Nielsen’s streaming top 10.
Frank writes, directs and executive produces Dept. Q. Bullock and Charlotte Moore also executive produce; Mona Qureshi and Manda Levin oversee the show for Netflix.
“We are raring to return to Carl Morck and his band of glorious misfits at Dept. Q,” said Qureshi and Levin. “Scott Frank brought us best-in-class storytelling and thrilled Netflix audiences worldwide. We can’t wait to see what Morck and the gang uncover in season two.”
