The crime-solving team you can’t get enough of is back on the case.
Netflix has officially renewed Dept. Q for a second season, bringing more dark mysteries, psychological twists, and the unforgettable Copenhagen detectives that fans fell in love with during season 1.
What Is Dept. Q?
Based on the bestselling novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, the series follows detective Carl Mørck and his quirky partner Assad as they dive into Denmark’s coldest cases — ones the police have long abandoned. Season 1 introduced viewers to the gritty, atmospheric world of Department Q, where no crime is ever truly forgotten.
Season 2 Details
While Netflix hasn’t revealed plot specifics yet, fans can expect another tense adaptation from Adler-Olsen’s internationally acclaimed crime novels. Season 2 is likely to continue the mix of haunting mysteries and character-driven storytelling, digging deeper into Carl and Assad’s complicated partnership.
Production is set to begin later this year, with a release window expected in [insert year if known].
A Global Hit
The renewal comes as no surprise — Dept. Q quickly became a sleeper success for Netflix, praised for its moody tone, sharp writing, and standout performances. Viewers compared it to Nordic noir classics like The Killing and Borgen, but with its own uniquely suspenseful identity.
