Star-studded cast revealed for upcoming detective drama.
Netflix's upcoming crime series, Department Q, has just added a touch of Line of Duty magic with the inclusion of Kelly Macdonald.
The acclaimed actress, renowned for her role as Jo Davidson in Line of Duty's gripping sixth season, joins a star-studded ensemble for the detective drama based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels.
Macdonald isn't the only luminary in the cast; Matthew Goode, the suave star from Downton Abbey, leads the pack as DCI Carl Morck.
The Queen's Gambit's Chloe Pirrie, Jack Ryan actor Alexej Manvelov, and Leah Byrne of Call The Midwife fame round out the formidable ensemble.
The series unfolds as DCI Carl Morck's life takes a tumultuous turn after a violent incident, prompting him to establish the cold case unit, Department Q.
The initial disillusionment of this emotionally scarred detective transforms as his dormant detective instincts resurface.
The department becomes a haven for a quirky assortment of misfits and mavericks.
Macdonald takes on the role of Dr. Rachel Irving, a therapist tasked with the challenging mission of reintegrating officers into frontline duty after experiencing trauma.
A tantalising hint suggests a deeper connection developing between Dr. Irving and Carl Morck as they unravel each other's complexities.
Chloe Pirrie steps into the shoes of Crown prosecutor Merritt Lingard, whose path converges with Carl's, setting the stage for a career-defining case.
Alexej Manvelov, portraying former Syrian police officer Akram Salim, assumes the role of Carl's assistant, adding a unique dynamic to the mix.
Leah Byrne tackles the character of Rose, a top police cadet who aims to prove herself once again after a mental health-related breakdown.
The supporting cast features stars like Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives from Guilt, Shirley Henderson from Harry Potter, and Kate Dickie from Inside Man.
With filming currently underway in Edinburgh, the series promises a captivating blend of stellar performances and intricate plotlines, keeping audiences eagerly anticipating its eventual release on Netflix.
Department Q will air on Netflix.
