Netflix has revealed the renewal status of the British crime thriller series Dept. Q<\/strong>. Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen\u2019s Nordic noir book series Department Q (Afdeling Q in Danish), the show premiered on Netflix on May 29, 2025, and became a big hit for the streaming site. Speculation about the show\u2019s future has been circulating since then.<\/p>\n Dept. Q has been renewed for Season 2 at Netflix. The announcement came almost three months after the release of the first season.<\/p>\n It\u2019s safe to assume that the massive success of the inaugural season played a key role in the platform\u2019s decision to renew the series. Following its premiere, the show remained on Netflix\u2019s list of top 10 English-language series globally for six weeks, drawing an impressive 222 million hours of viewing.<\/p>\n Adler-Olsen\u2019s books have been adapted multiple times for the screen over the years. In Netflix\u2019s iteration, the setting is Edinburgh, Scotland. Matthew Goode portrays DCI Carl Morck, the leader of the eponymous cold case unit. The series follows Morck and his team as they investigate unsolved crimes. Dept. Q Season 1 presently has an approval rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Scott Frank, who co-created Dept Q. with Chandni Lakhani, thanked Netflix for greenlighting the sophomore season of the show. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to the folks at Netflix, as well as our shining cast and crew, for once more risking their careers to enable my folly,\u201d he said (via The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>). Notably, Frank previously created Godless and co-created The Queen\u2019s Gambit for Netflix.<\/p>\n Left Bank Pictures\u2019 Rob Bullock, who served as an executive producer on the show, said, \u201cWe are going downstairs to Dept. Q for a second season.\u201d Bullock added that people at Left Bank Pictures \u201cnervously await what Scott has in store for his alter-ego Carl Morck, and the other enabling members of team do-lally. We salute Netflix\u2019s courage to let them loose once again.\u201d<\/p>\n Dept. Q Season 2 currently doesn\u2019t have an official release date.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Tamal Kundu on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Dept.
