Currently, it is not known exactly when Department Q. season 2 will be released, nor how many episodes will make up the series.
However, we have a brief idea of what the plot will entail thanks to the synopsis below.
Dept Q. Season 2 is set to explore a whole new case
Look on it
According to Netflix, Department Q. season 2 follows “DCI Carl Morck as head of the Maverick Department Q from the basement of an Edinburgh police station, dealing with cases previously deemed insoluble.
“This propulsive, darkly humorous spectacle offers all the pleasures of a procedural but takes us into the complex mysteries not only of the cases but also of the detectives themselves.”
Unsurprisingly, this all remains very vague at this stage of development. However, Left Bank Pictures executive producer Rob Bullock added in a statement: “This season, Carl and his band of misfits take on a terrible crime hidden in the highest echelons of Scottish society. It’s a story for our times: rich and powerful people who believe they are above the law.”
Executive Manda Levin agreed: “Season 2’s story is as dark and delicious as one would expect, and Carl and his glorious gang will have their work cut out for them pinning down the writers as we go back for more!”
What we are sure of is that we will continue to see an adaptation of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s original novels – but it remains to be seen how faithful the series will be.
