Dept. Q is getting a little bigger.
As production ramps up on Season 2 of Scott Frank’s hit detective series, DCI Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) is joined by cast members both old and new — and thank god for that, because he’ll need all the help he can get.
Season 1 of Dept. Q saw Morck and his team of misfit detectives solve one of the murkiest unsolved cases in Edinburgh’s history. But that was only the beginning for this intrepid crew. There are plenty more cold cases where that came from, and the work of the department is just beginning. Based on the books by Jussi Adler-Olsen, Dept. Q is a dark mystery with a cantankerous, brilliant detective at its center.
“This season, Carl and his band of misfits tackle a terrible crime hidden in the highest echelons of Scottish society,” Dept. Q executive producer Rob Bullock revealed. “It is a story for our times: rich and powerful people who believe they are above the law. Carl, of course, knows otherwise.”
“Season 1 of Dept. Q made us laugh and cry; it shocked and intrigued us; we fell in love with the characters and with the incredibly vivid and iconic world that Scott Frank and his amazing team conjured up in one of our very favorite cities,” said Manda Levin, head of UK scripted development for Netflix. “That it was embraced so wholeheartedly by an audience in Scotland, in the rest of the UK, and across the world, was thrilling. The story of Season 2 is as darkly delicious as you’d expect, and Carl and his glorious gang will have their work cut out pinning down the perpetrators as we launch back in for more!”
