ABC Renews R. J. Decker for Season 2

The pickup underscores ABC's rare decision to renew all 10 scripted shows for 2026–27.

Overview

  • The freshman drama, renewed Friday, completes ABC's move to bring back every scripted series for the 2026–27 season.
  • Based on Carl Hiaasen's Double Whammy, the show follows an ex-newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in South Florida.
  • Scott Speedman leads the cast with Jaina Lee Ortiz, Bevin Bru, Kevin Rankin, and Adelaide Clemens, and Rob Doherty serves as showrunner.
  • The series launched strong across platforms with about 15.21 million viewers through 35 days, while linear ratings eased as it performed solidly on Hulu.
  • Season 2 will continue the finale's central mystery without revealing key plot turns, with 20th Television producing and the show leaning into its offbeat Florida vibe.
