Chloe Pirrie has been a part of a number of successful TV projects that have taken her across the globe including a stint filming in Canada alongside Hollywood stars Andrew Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

However the star's latest role has brought her back to her roots as she has been shooting in her home town of Edinburgh for the past six months.

The Scottish actress is currently starring in Netflix's new detective series Dept. Q. She is playing the part of high-flying solicitor Merritt Lingard.

With a cast led by actor Matthew Goode, Chloe is among several Scottish stars including Jamie Sives, Mark Bonnar, Shirley Henderson and others.

Penned and directed by Scott Frank, the Netflix drama sees Pirrie reunite not only with The Queen's Gambit creator but also Kelly Macdonald, her co-star from The Victim.

Discussing what it meant to be back in the city of her youth, Pirrie, who is known for her roles in The Queen's Gambit and The Crown, said: "I've got family there that I hadn't seen for a while so it was great to be able to spend time with them. A family member came to set - I've never had that before. That kind of stuff is really special."

Chloe Pirrie began acting while studying at the Mary Erskine School. It wasn't until after she portrayed Anja in a school production of The Cherry Orchard that she first contemplated it as a potential career.

Her career began with a role in the Royal National Theatre's 2010 production of Men Should Weep, followed by appearances in the short film Solstice and the television soap Doctors.

Her breakthrough came in 2012 with the Scottish film Shell, which earned her the Most Promising Newcomer award at the 2013 British Independent Film Awards.

In 2013, she also appeared in an episode of Black Mirror titled The Waldo Moment, playing a politician. Her career took a significant turn in 2014 when she appeared in the BBC spy thriller 'The Game' as an MI5 secretary, acting alongside Brian Cox.

The following year saw her take on roles in the television film 'An Inspector Calls' with David Thewliss, the Sky Atlantic crime series 'The Last Panthers' with Samantha Morton and John Hurt, the Oscar-nominated comedy-drama 'Youth', and the black comedy film 'Burn, Burn, Burn'.

In the same year, she graced the small screen in The Living and the Dead, Brief Encounters, and the television film To Walk Invisible, where she took on the role of Emily Brontë. Following her portrayal of Brontë, Pirrie then appeared as Eileen Parker in The Crown.

When it comes to Chloe's love life the actress prefers to keep it away from the lime light as not much is known about her dating history.

It's unknown if the star is currently in a relationship or if she has any children.

All nine episodes of Dept. Q are now available to stream on
