First Photos: Scott Frank’s “Dept. Q”

Netflix has released the first official images from “Dept. Q,” their third TV series collaboration with acclaimed writer/director Scott Frank following western series “Godless,” and the chess-themed cultural sensation “The Queen’s Gambit”.

Matthew Goode stars as DCI Carl Morck, a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague whose razor-sharp sarcasm has alienated him in the Edinburgh police.

After a shooting leaves a young cop dead and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of the newly formed cold case unit Department Q.

The department is a PR stunt to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force. But soon, Carl starts to build himself a group of fellow misfits who have everything to prove.

As the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl gets back doing what he does best – rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.

Frank both wrote and directed the nine-episode run which also stars Chloe Pirrie (“The Queen’s Gambit”), Alexej Manvelov (“Jack Ryan”), Kelly Macdonald (“Line of Duty”), Kate Dickie (“Game of Thrones”), and Leah Byrne ““Call The Midwife”).

“Dept. Q” is set to launch on the streamer on May 29th.
