Department Q Season 2 - News, Cast, and Plot Details
At the end of last week Netflix dropped their newest thriller series Department Q and it's safe to say fans are already begging for another season (hi yes, we're fans). The nine-part series follows grumpy Detective Morck (Matthew Goode) who is assigned a new department at the police station in Edinburgh, where he's given cold cases to solve. For his first job he choses to solve the mysterious disappearance of prosecutor Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie) who went missing four years previously. Since the show was released last week Thursday, (May 29), fans have taken to social media to praise the series, and crucially share their enthusiasm for another season. One person wrote on X: "Season 2 of Department Q needs to happen 100%. Such an amazing cast and I was hooked all the way through. I already want more. Please make it happen." While someone else said: "Need #departmentq season 2 greenlit immediately! this was excellent," and another wrote: "Dear @netflix please please please please do a second season of #departmentQ - it's THAT GOOD." So is Netflix going to answer our prayers and give us a season two? Well here's what we know so far. Right now there's been no word from Netflix on the show getting renewed. However, there's a lot of reasons to be hopeful the show will come back. Department Q is based on a series of books by Jussi Adler-Olsen and so there's already a number of existing plots and angles the show could carry on exploring. There's 10 books in the series so could this potentially translate to another nine seasons? And in even more encouraging news, many of the cast have expressed their interest in returning for another season. Chloe Pirrie, who plays Merritt in the series, told Cosmopolitan UK she hopes the show does return. "I think it would be really great for the cast," she said. "And great for Scotland to have a show like this run again. It's definitely something we would all want." Speaking to Yahoo last week, series lead Matthew Goode told the publication, "that's the hope," when asked about a season 2. He also added he wanted to see more of Alexej's Manvelov's character Akram in a potential season 2, saying: "I was saying to Scott [Frank, the show's creator] the other day, what we really need to do is, A, season 2, and we need to get Alexej into eight weeks of Krav Magar training so the fight scenes in season 2 can be amazing. It's going to be a sort of Syrian Bourne." Manvelov is also keen of the show to return, telling Yahoo: "Hopefully we get to come back down." As for the show's creator Scott Frank? Well he's very keen for the show to get a second run as he felt there was more to explore with the cast and plots. "The last three shows I made were meant to be one and done," he told the BBC. "There was no more to say but I'd love to do more with this and the next book in the series is even more interesting and relevant." Well, as Scott says there's a lot more to play with when it comes to Department Q as the TV series is inspired by a number of books by Jussi Adler-Olsen. The first season is inspired by the novel Mercy, which follows a similar plotline to the TV series. If the Netflix show were to then follow the order of the Department Q books the next one to be adapted would be The Absent One. The Absent One is about Detective Morck solving another cold case, this time involving the double murder of a brother and sister who were killed two decades ago. One of the suspects for the crime is serving time, however Carl suspects everything is not quite what it seems and there are still some questions that need answering. We also never get a proper answer as to what happened with Carl during the initial shoot-out and who was responsible for the death of the police officer at the beginning of the season, and so we'd hope to get some answers to this if the show were to be renewed. If the show were to return for a second season, we of course can't imagine it without Matthew Goode as Detective Carl Morck. We'd also hope to see Alexej Manvelov and Leah Byrne reprise their roles as Morck's team members Akram and Rose. We'd also imagine Kelly Macdonald returning as Dr. Rachel Irving, Kate Dickie as Moira, Aaron McVeigh as Jasper and Jamie Sives as James Hardy. There's also a possibility Chloe Pirrie could reprise her role as Merritt Lingard and Mark Bonnar as Stephen Burns, if Detective Morck sees his cases end up in court.

Stranger Things fans all say same thing as series 5 trailer reveals unusual release date
Stranger Things fans all say same thing as series 5 trailer reveals unusual release date Stranger Things season 5 has been given an official release date by Netflix, along with a brand new trailer, but fans have been left asking the same question Stranger Things fans have all asked the same thing after Netflix finally confirmed the release dates of the show's final season. The adventures of Eleven, Mike, Will, Max, Lucas, Dustin and the rest of the gang is nearing its end. As part of the streaming company's Tudum event, which was broadcast live to subscribers, the release date was finally confirmed along with other details. Fans have been waiting a considerable amount of time for the fifth instalment of the popular series. It was reported that creators and writers the Duffer brothers began working on the season back in 2022 when they revealed the name of the first episode. Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley and Joe Keery as Steve Harrington (Image: Netflix ) This was a month after season 4, volume 2 debuted on the platform. As a result, fans have been made to wait nearly three years before finding out how the entire story ultimately ends. Now it has been confirmed just when fans can stream the remaining parts and there is an unusual release schedule. Season five will actually be released in three parts. The full release schedule is as follows for UK based subscribers: Volume 1, 27 November, 1am GMT Volume 2, 26 December, 1am GMT The Finale, 1 January, 1am GMT Netflix usually releases new titles and seasons to UK based users at 8am on their release day. This means the 1am time an unusual one, reports Surrey Live. However there is a reason. Netflix has made the decision so that the final episodes of Stranger Things will be released at the same time around the world. This means it will be available at 5pm in the US. David Harbour as Jim Hopper and Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven (Image: Netflix ) Fans were quick to react to the news shared at the Tudum event. One posted on social media saying: "1am!!!!!! I'm going to enjoy the spoilers at breakfast." Another replied: "Never forgiving whoever at netflix decided it'd be good idea to release all the stranger things 5 volumes at 1am." While someone else added: "Stranger Things The Finale: New Year's Eve releases January 1st 1am. Guess I'm not sleeping in 2026." Matt and Ross Duffer previously told Tudum that they wrote a 25-page mythology document for Netflix back in Season 1 that delves into the lore of the Upside Down. Explaining, Matt said: 'We were like, 'we know what's going on in the Upside Down, more or less, but we want it to be unknowable. We want it to be mysterious..' But they (Netflix) were like, 'Yeah, but can you write it down?' And so we wrote it all down.' Article continues below While the audience learned quite a bit about the Upside Down in Season 4, there's definitely more to come in Season 5. Ross added: 'The last remaining questions that are answered in that document, we've punted a couple of those to have some big reveals in Season 5 and that's really going to affect what Season 5 is about.' Stranger Things season 5 is streaming on Netflix starting November 27.

When nature has given you all the cues on how to have a taste of something how fun is that!" said Markle in the video.
