Dept. Q Season 2 is on the way.
The new and returning cast has just been announced for the second season of the Netflix procedural show, an adaptation of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s novels.
The show officially started production on Season 2 in Edinburgh, Scotland as of Thursday (June 25).
Who is Returning on Dept. Q?
Matthew Goode returns as DCI Carl Morck for Season 2, as does Alexej Manvelov as Akram Salim, Leah Byrne as DC Rose Dickson and Jamie Sives as DS James Hardy. Mark Bonnar is back as Stephen Burns, Kate Dickie returns as Moira Jacobson, Aaron McVeigh as Jasper and Sanjeev Kohli as Martin Fleming.
Who Is Joining the Cast?
New cast members include Aisling Franciosi as Kimmie, Greg Wise as Derek Powell, Nicholas Rowe as Thomas Fulton, Tony Curran as Winnie Calderwood, Hamish Clark as Christopher Herron, Alex Ferns as Phil Allenbeck, Ross Anderson as Ricky Daddario, Rebecca Root as June Lovesay, Isla Johnston as Agnes, and Amy Brenneman as Helen.
Here’s the official logline: “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, but takes us into the complex mysteries not just of the cases but of the detectives themselves.”
Executive producer Rob Bullockr said:: “This season, Carl and his band of misfits tackle a terrible crime hidden in the highest echelons of Scottish society. It is a story for our times: rich and powerful people who believe they are above the law. Carl, of course, knows otherwise. It’s a joy to be working with master storyteller Scott Frank once again, along with the rest of team dolally. We applaud Netflix’s courage for letting them loose once again.”
Manda Levin said: “Season one 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 favourite cities. 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!”
Netflix renewed and cancelled several shows in 2026.
