Netflix & Left Bank Launch ‘Dept. Q’ Training Programme

• Netflix and Left Bank’s cool new plan.
• Who gets to be part of the ‘Dept. Q’ magic.
• Why this is a big deal for Scottish creators.

We just heard some truly fantastic news! You know how much we love seeing fresh faces get a big break. And Netflix? They’re totally stepping up!

Together with Left Bank, they’re launching a special training program. It’s all for their super popular series, ‘Dept. Q’. A big hit, this show, and it’s made right there in Scotland!

They want to help the next generation of Scottish talent. Think budding filmmakers, crew, and storytellers. This isn’t just a casual thing either.

The next season of ‘Dept. Q’ will have 20 paid trainee roles. Yes, you read that right – paid! It means local talent gets real hands-on experience when filming starts later on.

Imagine being on set, learning the ropes. Seeing how that gritty, moody aesthetic of ‘Dept. Q’ comes to life. It’s a show with a really distinctive visual style, full of atmosphere. Getting to be part of that creation? Incredible.

This isn’t just about jobs; it’s about building futures. It’s about giving people a real shot in the industry, right there in Scotland. We often talk about new ventures and how they shape the future, like when CJ ENM, TBS & U-Next launched StudioMonowa – this feels similar, but for individuals!

Such an awesome opportunity. Learning from the best. Being part of a show everyone loves. We’re getting excited just thinking about it!

Our Take

This is exactly what the industry needs. Real, practical training. Real pay. It opens doors for so many people who might not otherwise get a foot in. We love seeing big companies invest directly in local communities and future creatives. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. Plus, imagine the fresh perspectives these new talents will bring!
