A crew member died on set of Season 2 of Netflix’s “Dept. Q” in Edinburgh.
Philip Ross, 30, was seriously injured and pronounced dead at the scene, according to police reports from Thursday. The crew member is believed to have been killed in an accident involving a hydraulic lift at FireStage Studios, according to local outlets.
“We are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic death of a member of our ‘Dept. Q’ crew,” a spokesperson for Left Bank Pictures said. “Our thoughts are with their family, friends and colleagues at this incredibly difficult time, and we are offering support for those affected.”
Scottish police reported to the scene around 3 p.m. Thursday. A spokesperson for the police said an investigation is underway but that the death is “not being treated as suspicious.”
Netflix and FirstStage Studios have not responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
“Dept. Q” finished production on Season 2 recently, but the set was still active as crew wrapped. The detective drama was renewed for a second season in August 2025.
