Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive)
Did Netflix just throw a grenade into the Emmy race for the second year in a row? TVLine has learned exclusively that Dept. Q, the Matthew Goode-fronted Scottish thriller that dropped May 29, just two days shy of the eligibility cutoff for this year's Emmys, is being submitted in the Drama Series categories. The acclaimed nine-episode mystery from Queen's Gambit auteur Scott Frank enters a crowded field that includes Severance, The Pitt, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and Netflix's own The Diplomat. More from TVLine Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: 'There Was a Debate,' EP Says Virgin River Star Shares Season 7 Update: When Are New Episodes Coming to Netflix? Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay If all of this sounds vaguely familiar it's because just one year ago Netflix similarly sent Emmy handicappers heads' spinning with the late-April release of Baby Reindeer. Richard Gadd's searing, semi-autobiographical dramedy — which appeared on the kudos scene a scant one month before the close of eligibility — went on to essentially sweep Limited Series categories at last September's Emmys. It remains to be seen if a similar fate awaits Dept. Q, which earlier this week hit No. 2 on Netflix's consumer-facing Top 10 chart and boasts an impressive 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (its critical score stands at a strong 84%). Dept. Q, based on the book series by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen, centers on a cranky Edinburgh detective (played by Good Wife alum Goode) who sets out solve a cold case involving a missing prosecutor (played by Queen's Gambit alum Chloe Pirrie). In addition to possibly playing spoiler in the Outstanding Drama Series contest, Dept. Q is poised to be a contender in the acting races as well. A Netflix rep confirms to TVLine that Goode and Pirrie will be competing in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Lead Actress in a Drama Series categories, respectively. The show's supporting cast — which includes Boardwalk Empire vet Kelly Macdonald and Game of Thrones' Kate Dickie — is equally as formidable. Have you binged ?

How the ‘billionaire lifestyle' at a Park City, Utah, mansion fueled a new movie by the creator of ‘Succession'
How the 'billionaire lifestyle' at a Park City, Utah, mansion fueled a new movie by the creator of 'Succession' The old saying in real estate - that the three most important things are "location, location, location" - also applies to making movies, as evident in the new film, "Mountainhead," shot this spring near Park City, Utah. The dark comedy - which debuts Saturday evening on HBO (at 6 or 9 p.m. Mountain time, depending on your provider) and starts streaming Saturday at 1:01 a.m. Mountain time on Max (soon to be rebranded, again, as HBO Max) - centers on four tech moguls, three multibillionaires and their half-billionaire host, during what's supposed to be a luxurious guys' weekend in the Utah mountains. The fun stops when news comes in of global riots and turmoil, all blamed on misinformation generated by new social media tools just released on a platform owned by the richest of the four men (Cory Michael Smith). Smith's character, Venis (pronounced "Venice"), tries to minimize his responsibility, all while trying to talk his friend-rival, Jeff (Ramy Youssef), into selling his new A.I. system, which Jeff says is less prone to spewing lies and fascism. The group's elder statesman, Randall (Steve Carell), muses about how they can leverage the impending apocalypse to take over a few countries, while the house's less-rich owner, Souper (Jason Schwartzman), pitches a meditation app - as if it can help fend off the toxicity boiling out of everyone's smartphones. If the story feels close to current events, that's because writer-director Jesse Armstrong worked on a fast schedule. The "Succession" creator wrote the script for his first feature film in January and February, then filming happened over five weeks, mostly in March. The movie's release date, Saturday, is the last day of eligibility for this year's Emmy Awards. Central to the movie is Souper's house, named Mountainhead. The house sits at 3566 W. Crestwood Court, in the gated Deer Crest neighborhood on the northeast side of Deer Valley in Wasatch County. It made news last fall when it was listed at $65 million - then considered a record for a single-family home in Utah. At 21,000 square feet, the house boasts an NBA-regulation basketball court, a two-lane bowling alley and a two-story climbing wall, all of which are deployed in the movie. What's not in the movie is one of the house's signature amenities: a private ski gondola. In interviews last week, Schwartzman and Smith each said "the house is a character" in the movie. They, along with Carell and Youssef, remarked on how it added to Armstrong's examination of the super-rich - a subject that fueled "Succession" over four Emmy-winning seasons. The Salt Lake Tribune interviewed the actors over Zoom - Carell and Schwartzman in one session, and Youssef and Smith in another. Their comments have been lightly edited for clarity. Did the house help you get into character? Carell: My character is very passé about all of it. Seen bigger, seen better. None of the trappings mean anything, really, to any of these guys, except maybe [Schwartzman's] character. Material things just have no meaning, the nice cars or whatever. They're so far beyond that, their lives aren't even about that. That's just incidental. Smith: Jesse [Armstrong] said this early on: "When you walk in, there's nothing impressive about this." As the wealthiest man in the world, you're just constantly in impressive environments, so you're numb to being wowed by a $65 million overpriced piece of real estate, because it's on a mountain with its own private ski lift. Like it's cool, convenient, fun. But it's not an amazing house. [When Armstrong said] that to me early on, when I was walking in, I was, like, "Oh, that's just really helpful." Just for a person to have lost all sense of awe over really extraordinary things. Carell: It [has this] vastness, and there's a solitary nature to that house, too. You feel like you're away from everything in that house. It is your own world, right there. As the story progresses, and they become more and more isolated from the rest of the world, you really feel like this is their bunker, in a way. Schwartzman: It has a feeling like it's the only home there, at the top of the mountain. It has an unobstructed view, which I always found haunting in the movie. You just see the emptiness, and when we cut outside and you see the camera coming in, there's like this creeping feeling. When we read the script, the whole thing was in this house. And when they showed us the photos of the house, I was, like, "There it is. That's done." If it wasn't that house, it wouldn't have been this movie. Carell: It benefited the story and the shooting, because there were so many different places to film in the house. Different vibes, different rooms, for different types of scenes. Schwartzman: That spiral staircase that goes from floor 1 to 7 in a straight shot - it just became a weird physical metaphor of the movie for me. Kind of a downward spiral. That shape is the movie to me. This story was produced by The Salt Lake Tribune and reviewed and distributed by Stacker. © Stacker Media, LLC.
