Look at

According to Netflix, Department Q. season 2 follows “DCI Carl Morck on his way up the maverick Department Q from the basement of an Edinburgh police station, charged with cases previously considered unsolvable.

“This darkly humorous, fast-paced show delivers all the pleasures of a procedural, but takes us into the complex mysteries not only of the cases, but of the detectives themselves.”

Unsurprisingly, this is all very vague at this point in development. 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’s a story for our time: rich and powerful people who think they’re 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 for them as we start back for more!”

What we know for sure is that we will continue to see adaptations of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s original novels — but how faithful the performance will be remains to be seen.
