Dept. Q first look images and launch date released

DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in the Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best – rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
Dept. Q is an adaptation of the novels of the same name by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen. It is written and directed by Scott Frank (The Queen's Gambit). Matthew Goode stars as the cantankerous Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck. He is joined by Chloe Pirrie, Leah Byrne, Jamie Sives, Mark Bonnar, Alexej Manvelov, Kate Dickie, Shirley Henderson, Kelly Macdonald and Tom Bulpett.
Dept. Q will be on Netflix on 29 May 2025.
