If you loved watching the first season of ‘Dept Q’, then there’s good news for you. Netflix’s gritty crime drama Dept Q might be gearing up for its second season after a successful debut. Here’s everything we know so far about its return, including the expected release window, episode count, and cast details.
Dept Q Season 2: Release Date Window
Although Netflix has not officially confirmed Dept Q Season 2, all signs indicate it’s in the pipeline. The show’s creator, Scott Frank, has expressed interest in continuing the series and has even shared early ideas for the upcoming storyline. He revealed in an interview that the second season would combine a cold case with an active investigation, continuing the layered storytelling format fans loved in Season 1.
With filming for the first season taking about 15 months (from early 2024 to its May 2025 release), Season 2 is likely to follow a similar timeline. If writing and pre-production begin in late 2025, ‘Dept Q Season 2’ could premiere in mid-2026.

Dept Q Season 2: Episodes
Season 1 featured nine episodes that skillfully blended mystery, suspense, and rich character development. While there’s no official episode count for Season 2 yet, it's reasonable to expect a similar range, likely 8-10 episodes, to maintain the same pacing and narrative structure. Each episode will probably continue blending standalone investigation elements with overarching plotlines from the book series.

Dept Q Season 2: Cast
Most of the main cast is expected to return, especially:
- Matthew Goode as Carl Morck, the emotionally scarred detective at the heart of the series
- Alexej Manvelov as Akram Salim, Morck’s trusted partner
- Kelly Macdonald as Dr Rachel Irving, the police therapist helping Morck through his PTSD
Additional characters from the Department Q universe may also be introduced in the second season, especially if the plot draws from the second novel, ‘The Absent One’, which revolves around an old double murder tied to an elite boarding school.
'Dept Q Season 2' hasn’t been officially greenlit yet, but all signs point to a return. Between strong critical reception, source material to adapt, and creator interest, fans can likely expect more episodes to drop in 2026. Stay tuned for updates as Netflix makes an official announcement.
