Dept. Q Is Checking in for Season 2

In spite of his very best efforts, cantankerous Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) remains employed by the police department of Edinburgh, Scotland — and now, he’s coming back for another season of Dept. Q, the hit mystery series from creator Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit).

Also returning? The crew of misfit investigators he built over the course of the first season, including Alexej Manvelov as Akram, Leah Byrne as Rose, and Jamie Sives as Hardy. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Dept. Q without the series’ other protagonist: Edinburgh itself, where production will once again take place.

“I’d like to thank Netflix for giving us the opportunity to further investigate Dept. Q’s storylines,” Goode says in a statement to Netflix. “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!”

New interview with Matthew Goode for ‘Square Mile’

‘He is a livewire conversationalist, freewheeling from Jack Nicholson impressions to an analysis of drama school socioeconomics via Waitrose’s bargain-basement claret (“perfectly acceptable for a Wednesday night”). He swears like a sailor, he drops some of the biggest names in the business with a mix of ease and awe, and he speaks with refreshing candour about how bloody difficult it is to find jobs right now. He says “obvs” with the same irony as he says “periglacial geomorphology”. He is, in short, great fun.’
