Dept Q Season 2: Release Date Window, Episodes, Cast, And Other Details

If you loved watching the first season of ‘Dept Q’, then there’s good news for you. Netflix’s gritty crime drama Dept Q might be gearing up for its second season after a successful debut. Here’s everything we know so far about its return, including the expected release window, episode count, and cast details.

Dept Q Season 2: Release Date Window

Although Netflix has not officially confirmed Dept Q Season 2, all signs indicate it’s in the pipeline. The show’s creator, Scott Frank, has expressed interest in continuing the series and has even shared early ideas for the upcoming storyline. He revealed in an interview that the second season would combine a cold case with an active investigation, continuing the layered storytelling format fans loved in Season 1.

With filming for the first season taking about 15 months (from early 2024 to its May 2025 release), Season 2 is likely to follow a similar timeline. If writing and pre-production begin in late 2025, ‘Dept Q Season 2’ could premiere in mid-2026.

Season 1 featured nine episodes that skillfully blended mystery, suspense, and rich character development. While there’s no official episode count for Season 2 yet, it's reasonable to expect a similar range, likely 8-10 episodes, to maintain the same pacing and narrative structure. Each episode will probably continue blending standalone investigation elements with overarching plotlines from the book series.
