Almost three months after its release, Netflix has finally announced a second season of Dept. Q, and fans are thrilled. The Scotland-set crime series is one of the streamer's biggest hits in 2025, with the first season earning a spot in the Global Top 10 for six weeks.

A Discovery of Witches' Matthew Goode is set to reprise his lead role as DCI Carl Morck along with Alexej Manvelov as Akram, Leah Byrne as Rose, and Jamie Sives as Hardy. Netflix has confirmed the new season will be set once again in Edinburgh, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

"I binged it in a day and I’m not ashamed," wrote another user, while others reaffirmed their love for Manvelov's Akram, the sidekick archetype done right.
