Currently, there’s no word on exactly when Dept Q. season 2 will be released, nor how many episodes will make up the series.
However, we do have a brief idea of what the plot will involve thanks to the synopsis below.
As per Netflix, Dept Q. season 2 follows “DCI Carl Morck heading up the maverick Dept. Q from the basement of an Edinburgh police station, charged with cases previously deemed unsolvable.

Unsurprisingly, this is all very vague at this point in advancement. However, Rob Bullock, Executive Producer, Left Bank Pictures, added in a statement, “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.”
Executive Manda Levin agreed, “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!”
What we know for sure is that we will continue to see an adaptation of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s original novels — but how faithful the show will be remains to be seen.
