Has Dept. Q been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled?
Dept. Q is the latest crime drama on Netflix, created by Scott Frank, the brilliant mind behind The Queen's Gambit. With great characters and plotting, this one is not to be missed. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more!
What is Dept. Q about?
Dept. Q is set in Edinburgh, follows Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck, a brilliant but emotionally scarred officer recovering from a traumatic ambush that left his partner paralyzed and another officer dead.
Relegated to a newly formed cold case unit in the police department's basement, Morck assembles a team of misfits to take on an old case involving the mysterious disappearance of prosecutor Merritt Lingard from a ferry four years prior.
As the team delves deeper, they uncover a chilling conspiracy and psychological trauma that test their limits.

Has Forget You Not been renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, Dept. Q has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Dept. Q has had a very good reaction online from critics and audiences alike.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season.
The series has lots of potential, and it's also adapted from Jussi Adler-Olsen's Danish novels too so there's plenty of sourxe material to adapt. There's also lots of loose ends still to be tied up and plenty of potential for further cold cases to be brought up.
We also know completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers and this feels like one of those shows that people will dive into and become hooked once they've watched a few episodes.
However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about Dept. Q season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem very likely to get the nod for another season. We'd likely get another 9 episode season if this one is renewed, along with a return of familiar cast and crew too.
The story's tone and style will likely remain very similar to what we've been graced with in season 1, and a return of cast and crew along with Carl's quest for who the shooters were at Leith Park too.
We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future.

Kate Middleton pulls out of Royal Ascot: Princess of Wales will not join Prince William and mother Carole at horse racing meet as she continues phased return to duties after cancer battle
The Princess of Wales has pulled out of attending Royal Ascot at the last minute as she continues to 'find the right balance' following her battle with cancer. Kate is said to be 'disappointed' at not attending the famous social and sporting occasion in Berkshire with her husband Prince William and the King and Queen. Racegoers had been hoping to see the Princess after the Prince of Wales was named as one of the figures awarding race prizes during the second day of the meet. Ascot officials had confirmed at 12pm that the Princess was due to be in the second carriage in the royal procession with William, in a published carriage list. But less than half an hour later, Kensington Palace confirmed just before 12.30pm that Kate would not be attending - and a revised carriage list was published by Ascot. MailOnline understands the Princess was 'disappointed' not to be in attendance 'but she has to find the right balance as she fully returns to public facing engagements'. However, Kate's mother Carole Middleton did attend Ascot today, wearing a dress from luxury women's designer ME+EM - alongside her daughter-in-law Alizee Thevenet, the wife of Kate's brother James Middleton. The 43-year-old Princess has been making a gradual return to public duties since it was announced in January that she was in remission from cancer. But in the past week she has attended three high-profile events - Trooping the Colour, the annual Order of the Garter service and a visit to a V&A storage facility in London. The Royal Ascot carriage list was published at 12pm with Kate included (left), then a revised version was issued just after 12.30pm (right) when it was announced she would not attend Today, Charles and Camilla were all smiles when they arrived at racecourse in a carriage that now included William who had been due to travel in the following coach with Kate. The King and Queen will be hoping for better luck with their horses after their much favoured thoroughbred Reaching High was well beaten in the Ascot Stakes yesterday. They have entered Rainbows Edge in the Kensington Palace Stakes, a fillies handicap, and their horse is favourite with a number of bookies. The Princess revealed in January she was in remission from cancer after making an emotional return to the specialist cancer institution, the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, London, where she was treated to comfort fellow patients. She had been receiving chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer since late February last year with the King beginning his cancer care earlier that month following his diagnosis after treatment for an enlarged prostate. Announcing in September her treatment had ended, Kate described in an emotional video message how the previous nine months had been 'incredibly tough for us as a family' and 'doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus'. William later said in a separate interview how 2024 had been 'brutal'. Yesterday, the King and Queen enjoyed a day at the races at Ascot as they welcomed the girlfriend of the Princess Royal's son to the royal fold. Charles and Camilla hosted guests in the royal box on the first day of Royal Ascot including the King's nephew Peter Phillips and his partner, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling. Ms Sperling made an appearance for the first time in the carriage procession the Royal Family make onto the famous Berkshire racecourse to signal the start of the day. The royal procession is celebrating its 200th anniversary, a tradition begun during the reign of George IV in 1825 when the monarch was accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. The King and Queen rode in the first carriage yesterday with Prince Faisal, a member of the Saudi royal family, and Lady Sarah Keswick, one of the Queen's official companions. Behind them travelled the Princess Royal with Camilla's sister Annabel Elliot and the Duke and Duchess of Wellington and they were followed by a coach carrying Anne's son Peter Phillips and his girlfriend. Other royals spotted among the crowds yesterday included Princess Beatrice and her mother Sarah, Duchess of York and Zara and Mike Tindall. The head of state and his wife have continued Queen Elizabeth II's close association with the Berkshire race meet but they had no luck with the sport of Kings when their horse Reaching High was well beaten in the Ascot Stakes. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V states. Kate was last seen on Monday, joking and laughing when she made a return to one of the highlights of the royal calendar - a service celebrating the Order of the Garter. The princess, who missed last year's event during the period of her cancer treatment, was in good spirits when she watched the procession of Ladies and Knights of the Garter through the grounds of Windsor Castle to St George's Chapel. Kate was joined by the Duchess of Edinburgh and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence at the chapel's Galilee porch, a traditional vantage point to see the spectacle. The King and Queen followed convention and were at the back of the procession dressed in white plumed hats and dark blue velvet robes, as were the other members of the order including the Prince of Wales, Princess Royal and Duke of Edinburgh. Kate and Sophie burst into laughter just as the front of the procession passed by, with the elderly Military Knights of Windsor leading the way. William looked across at the porch as he approached the viewing spot but his wife was deep in conversation with the duchess and when Kate finally looked up William was chatting to Edward walking beside him. Kate and Sophie arrived together 15 minutes ahead of the procession and when two gentlemen ushers, who provide support at royal events, doffed their top hats one after the other at Kate and Sophie, the princess appeared to make a joke. The royal women looked stylish in wide-brimmed hats with Kate wearing an outfit by Self Portrait and a hat by Sean Barrett. The royals waved and smiled at the crowds as they were driven past just a few days after they took part in a carriage procession during Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

Ferne McCann enjoys glam day at the races as jailed acid attacker ex caught being injected with drugs
FERNE McCann enjoyed a picture-perfect day at the races as her ex Arthur Collins was embroiled in a prison drug scandal. The TOWIE alum gushed over her "gorgeous' day at Royal Ascot as she posted a series of images showing her in a plunging mint green gown. 7 7 7 Yet, at the same time, The Sun exclusively reported how the father to her seven-year-old daughter Sunday, who was jailed for an acid attack, had been caught getting a suspected steroid injection in his cell. Video of Arthur Collins, 32, taken on a smuggled phone, came as he was linked to drug drops by drone at jails in Herts and Greater Manchester. Meanwhile, mum of two Ferne, 34, was letting her hair down at the iconic annual sporting event. In her caption, she ignored the breaking scandal and wrote: "Royal Ascot you were gorgeous. "One of my favourite days. No big wins sadly although I did pocket £14.50, better than nothing right. "Thank you for having me @ascotracecourse @hunt_communications here's to next year." Images showed her in a plunging silk slip dress with cap sleeve detail and a ruched design on the front which accentuated her toned figure. Ferne paired the frock with white point-toe wedge shoes and a feathered fascinator. She left her brunette locks in natural waves flowing over her shoulders and kept her make-up natural. Ferne welcomed eldest daughter Sunday with acid attacker Arthur in 2017. Earlier that year, Ferne's then-boyfriend Arthur was charged with a London nightclub acid attack that happened in April. Ferne announced her pregnancy shortly after his arrest, stating the relationship was over and that she planned to raise their baby alone. Eight years ago, Arthur was found guilty of five counts of grievous bodily harm and nine of actual bodily harm, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars with an extra five on licence. TOWIE STARS SPIN OFF WITH the announcement TOWIE will return in 2025 for two new series, it's good news for some former ITVBE stars, too TWO of the show's best loved former stars will celebrate their own big life moments with a spin off series featuring Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou. Their new show title is currently unconfirmed. The pair, who first met and found love on TOWIE back in 2014, finally say 'I Do' in a three part special produced by Objective Entertainment. The show will follow on from the success of their Baby Steps series. JAIL JAB This weekend, we reported how Arthur appeared to be seen being injected in his bum in his jail cell. In the clip, he is asked, 'Hey, bruv, what are you doing?', by a fellow prisoner — before replying: 'Injecting.' The exchange was caught on our exclusive video, showing laughing Arthur apparently receiving a jab in his buttock from another lag. He could face disciplinary action after the body-building drug was seemingly sneaked into the jail, along with a handset used to record footage in his cell. Collins was recently switched from The Mount Prison — where the footage was taken — amid fears he was plotting to import drugs using drones. And it comes after a jail anti-corruption team found illicit items at his new home — HMP Buckley Hall, near Rochdale. A source said: 'Collins has been in trouble constantly and doesn't seem to care. He goes around like he is the big 'I am' and as if he rules the roost.' His actions will sicken the 22 victims of his 2017 attack when he hurled acid across in an East London nightclub — leaving 16 people with serious burns. 7 7 7
