Netflix has announced that crime procedural Dept. Q will return for a second season.

Based on the novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, the series follows DCI Carl Morck and his unconventional team tackling cold cases from the basement of an Edinburgh police station.

Season 2 will once again film in Edinburgh, Scotland, after the location helped establish the moody atmosphere of the first installment. Matthew Goode reprises his role as Morck, joined by Alexej Manvelov (Akram), Leah Byrne (Rose), and Jamie Sives (Hardy).

The renewal comes after a strong debut season that spent six weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10, earning praise for its dark humor and twist-filled storytelling.

Mona Qureshi and Manda Levin, Netflix:

“We are raring to return to Carl Morck and his band of glorious misfits at Dept. Q. 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 2… Edinburgh, we’re back.”

Rob Bullock, Executive Producer, Left Bank Pictures:

“So, we are going downstairs to Dept. Q for a second season. 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.”

Scott Frank, Writer & Director:

“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.”

Matthew Goode:

“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!”

Production on Dept. Q Season 2 is set to begin in Edinburgh.
