Netflix Renews 'Dept. Q' for Season 2

Netflix has today renewed its original drama series Dept. Q for a second season. Production on the new season will begin later this year in Edinburgh.







Based on the novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, 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.

Returning cast members include Matthew Goode as DCI Carl Morck; Alexej Manvelov as Akram; Leah Byrne as Rose; and Jamie Sives as Hardy.

Scott Frank returns as writer and director. He also executive produces with Rob Bullock and Charlotte Moore. Sony Pictures Television and Left Bank Pictures produce.

"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," said Scott Frank.

"I'd like to thank Netflix for giving us the opportunity to further investigate Department Q's storylines," added Goode. "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!"
