Netflix's Dept Q part 2 and 3 are available to stream now
Dept Q has taken the world by storm ever since it aired on Netflix late last month. Fans can't seem to get enough of the gripping crime drama and have demanded a second season.
The hit show follows the misunderstood detective, Morck, who returns to work following a gunshot wound and is placed in charge of a cold case unit, attempting to solve the disappearance of human rights lawyer Merritt Weaver.
Fans are now calling for more seasons of the binge-worthy show and they're in luck, as there are three other adaptations of the story.
The programme was adapted from the best-selling novels by Danish author Jussi Alder-Olsen, and there are three other movie adaptations from the novels which follow the story of detective Carl Morck and Akram as they attempt to solve crime.
The first novel in the 10 part series, Mercy, was adapted into a Danish film back in 2013 titled The Keeper of Lost Causes. Although the cast is not the same, it still follows the same characters.
The Keeper of Lost Causes stars Nikolaj Lie Kaas as Carl Morck and Fares Fares as Assad (which was changed to Akram for the Netflix version) as they search for Merete Lynggaard, who is trapped in a pressure chamber.
A second film, The Absent One, was released in 2014, and a third, A Conspiracy of Faith, was released in 2016.
The Absent One follows Carl and Assad's investigation into a historical murder of twins, while A Conspiracy of Faith follows the duo as they look into an ancient message in a bottle which is linked to a religious community.
Where can I watch the films?
All three of the films are available to watch in the UK with a Viaplay subscription on Amazon Prime Video. If this is not accessible, they are also available to rent on other streaming platforms such as Apple TV+, YouTube and Sky Store.
Additionally, Jussi Adler-Olsen's book series - ten whole novels - which the show is based on are also available to purchase online and in book stores. With his latest, Locked In, released in December last year, there are plenty of books to get your fix while you're missing the show.
Will there be a season two of Dept Q?
As for the Netflix adaptation, there is no official confirmation that there will be a second season of the show. However Matthew Goode said that the cast are "desperate" to get together and film another season.
He told Deadline: "I'd wanted to work with Shirley Henderson - 'Shenderson' - for years. And Kelly McDonald, and then this fairly relatively new actress, Leah Byrne, who is a revelation in this show.
"It's very difficult to be talking about some of the things that she has to talk about and make them hilarious. It's quite a staggering… Well, it's writing and talent, where they meet, I suppose. I love them all. That's why we're desperate to do a second season."

TV fans brand thought-provoking drama 'the most underrated show on Netflix'
One of the most 'gripping' Netflix miniseries of all time has been described as 'incredibly underrated' by fans. With a plethora of options to watch on streaming platforms, it can often feel quite frustrating when a fantastic series gets buried beneath other options. But following a viewer discussion on Reddit, Netflix fans seem determined to spotlight Unbelievable as one of the most 'thought-provoking' and 'heartbreaking' shows ever. Starring Last of Us actress Kaitlyn Dever, Severance's Merritt Wever and Toni Collette, the eight-part drama explores the difficulties women face in reporting cases of rape. Charting the real life story of Marie Adler (Dever), the young woman reports being raped, only to face intense scrutiny and disbelief from police authorities. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Three years after her initial report, detectives Karen Duvall (Wever) and Grace Rasmussen (Collette) then investigate a series of similar attacks and uncover a pattern of deception linking back to Adler. Taking to Reddit, Theoretical_Phys-Ed said: 'Absolutely incredible show with incredible acting. I've watched it multiple times, even though it's a tough watch.' Writing on Google, Emily Lee added: 'I loved every second of this show for several reasons. 'First can we just say the casting was brilliant! Was such a JOY watching such strong, intelligent, kind, driven women all in one show telling a story so many women can relate to living in this world as women. A Metro reporter reviewed the series when it came out in 2019… From Ava Duvernay's harrowing drama When They See Us about the Central Park Five, to Making a Murderer and Mindhunter, Netflix has become known for bringing powerful true crime stories to our screens and seeking to raise awareness of the previously voiceless. The latest in this genre, Unbelievable, turns away from murder and focuses instead on sexual assault, using one real life story to show the ways in which rape victims are dehumanised beyond their assaults and into the way they are treated by the police. Dark, harrowing and an incredibly important watch, the eight part series shows the right (and wrong) ways of treating sexual assault victims in a story that is vital to hear in 2019. 'It really told the story, struggle and trauma of what it can be like for so many of us existing in a 'man's world'. I also loved along with strong feminine representation the body diversity as well!' Anbu V also called it a 'definite watch', saying: 'It is based on a true events. Unbelievable miniseries. 'Just excellent from start to end. It was perfectly crafted, acted and written. It transitions perfectly between two story lines never feeling like you are getting cut off too soon. The message is one that needs to be heard.' Saiprasad Chavan implored viewers to 'watch it for the extremely well-written plot covering minutest of the details complemented by some ground breaking performance by the entire cast'. Very strong and empowering yet emotional at certain points.' Meanwhile, Baba Lalz wrote: 'I am so deeply touched by what I have seen. So far, I haven't seen anything that has had such a profound impact on me. Extremely thought-provoking.' More Trending This comes after Netflix fans 'teared up' after a show, which was watched 72million times, confirmed its third season before the second is even out. The series, One Piece, is a live-action adaptation of the popular anime and boasted a hugely successful first season, becoming the third most-watched TV show of 2023 overall. Now, as the trailer for the second season, which stars Inaki Godoy and Emily Rudd, has dropped, it has been confirmed that it will be returning in 2026, three years after it initially came out.

Harry Potter director reveals struggle to get support from 'suspicious' crew
Harry Potter director Chris Columbus recalled the crew's initial suspicions of him and how much 'work' it took to get their support. The filmmaker helmed the first two movies in the franchise, 2001's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and 2002 sequel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He most recently worked on the eagerly-anticipated adaptation of the Thursday Murder Club on Netflix, starring Pierce Brosnan, Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie During a Q&A session with the cast at the New York premiere, held at the Paris Theater, host Josh Horowitz asked how he managed being an American surrounded by a group of A-list Brits on set – and he compared the experience to his efforts on the wizarding series. 'I had already been through it with Potter,' the 66-year-old replied, explaining that he grew up with a 'love of everything British', stemming from the Beatles and watching A Hard Day's Night and Help! 'I'm pretty well steeped in the culture, and I dealt with all the jokes and the ridiculousness when I started Harry Potter – the first two weeks, the crew was completely suspicious of me. '[They] thought, 'What's this Yank doing here?' I heard all the Chris Columbus, Christopher Columbus jokes… But then you have to keep up. You have to keep up a certain level. 'The thing about working with the Brits is you have to keep up a certain level of humor. It's self-deprecating humor, and you have to be as sharp as f**k. 'You cannot ever, ever… If you lose your step, you lose your step for the whole shoot. 'For me, it was casting all of these incredibly brilliant, funny people and just keeping up with them. I hope that endeared me to the crew the second time. 'It was a lot of work on Potter to get that support from the crew – it felt a lot more comfortable going back for the second time on this movie. I'd do it again in a second.' Chris jumped straight into another book adaptation – with a mostly British cast – for the Thursday Murder Club, which is landing on Netflix in just a few weeks. The upcoming murder mystery film, based on Richard Osman's best-selling novel of the same name, follows retirees who spend their free time casually solving cold cases – but things take a murderous turn when they are thrown into a real crime. Naomi Ackie, Richard E Grant, Tom Ellis, David Tennant and Daniel Mays make up the rest of the line-up. Speaking of the star-studded cast, Chris revealed that they were all the first choices for their roles – which had only previously happened when working on Harry Potter. He continued: 'The interesting comparison, ironically, is that on Potter, we made a list of all of our first choices – Dame Maggie Smith, Richard Harris and Robbie Coltrane – and they all said yes, and that has not happened to me in 20 years, until this book.' 'And it was Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie, and they all said yes. It inspires you to only want to work with British actors because they say yes,' he laughed. 'It was a labor of love … because when I walked in the first day of rehearsal, when we were reading through the script, the four of them were sitting there, and it was 160 years of British cinema, and it's very intimidating. More Trending 'I could hear my voice [shaking] and I had to get over that. 'They just set such a level of trust. I felt trusted, and I hope you all felt trusted. It was just this level of trust that we all had through the course of the film. I think you can see it on screen, definitely.'

'I spent a lot of time reflecting on Marie. 'It just broke my heart the entire time. Every scene, she's just a girl who kept getting punched in the face, even after her assault. 'Even before her assault, she had a very tough life. My heart was aching for her during and in the aftermath of this show. 'I'm happy that we're making these important stories more and more, and we're bringing it to light, and giving a voice to the voiceless. 'That is something that makes me feel proud to be an actor. To be a small part in shedding light on stories that were buried. '
