Q from the basement of an Edinburgh police station, charged with cases previously deemed unsolvable. This darkly humorous, propulsive show delivers all the pleasures of a procedural, but takes us into the complex mysteries not just of the cases but of the detectives themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n Executive producer Rob Bullockr<\/strong> said:: \u201cThis 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. Carl, of course, knows otherwise. It\u2019s a joy to be working with master storyteller Scott Frank once again, along with the rest of team dolally. We applaud Netflix\u2019s courage for letting them loose once again.\u201d<\/p>\n Manda Levin<\/strong> said: \u201cSeason one of Dept. Q made us laugh and cry; it shocked and intrigued us; we fell in love with the characters and with the incredibly vivid and iconic world that Scott Frank and his amazing team conjured up in one of our very favourite cities. That it was embraced so wholeheartedly by an audience in Scotland, in the rest of the UK, and across the world, was thrilling. The story of Season 2 is as darkly delicious as you\u2019d expect, and Carl and his glorious gang will have their work cut out pinning down the perpetrators as we launch back in for more!\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix renewed and cancelled several shows in 2026.<\/a><\/p>\nWho is Returning on Dept.
