Looks like filming of Dept. Q series 2 is now ramping up!

Man, I am unhelpfully preoccupied with these two.

Matthew Goode on Virgin Radio Chris Evans Breakfast Show 4 June 25 to chat about new Netflix show Dept. Q

Watch on YouTube ⬇️

Quick summary

🔸️ Challenging 7-month shoot but loved it and very proud of that they have achieved.

Virgin Radio got lots of messages from people saying they love the show and had to binge watch it.

🔸️ Car's car is perfect for his character – ramshackle.

🔸️ He watched a rough cut of Dept. Q a while back but won't watch it again. "If you keep looking back you trip over your vain shadow."

🔸️ He prepared for the role by talking to ex policeman and person with PTSD. The show is an homage to these frontline workers and their mental health.

🔸️ You had to be really prepared on the shoot because Scott could suddenly decide on the day to film a particular scene if the location was available.

🔸️ What he learned from Anthony Hopkins shooting Freud's Last session with him : you can be a genius and humble. And that he himself is good too - Anthony gave him the confidence to trust himself. Anthony has messaged Matthew saying he loves Dept.

🔸️ He can be a scaredy cat occasionally. His wife and others encouraged him to take on the role of Bob Evans in The Offer.

🔸️ Recent watches: he has been watching Simon Reeves' Scandinavia and a documentary about John Williams.

🔸️ Dept. Q series 2 - We won’t find out for a month or so, based on worldwide viewing figures etc. There will be a gap of at least a year because Scott Frank has another project on.

🔸️ Matthew had a year off after finishing shooting Dept. Q. He keeps choosing projets that are going down, it's really a funny time for the industry. His wife wants him out of the house! His dog has lost weight with all the walks lol

🔸️ He has not been able to play much golf - bad meniscus in left knee, he doesn’t know if he will ever be able to solve it 🥺🥺

The first cast photo for Dept. Q series 2 has been released, along with finally more information about the series 2 cast.
