It’s Officially The Start Of A New Era For ABC’s Hit Crime Series Adaptation On Streaming

ABC has adapted several novels and international shows into hit crime series, such as High Potential (2024–), based on the Franco-Belgian series HPI (2021–2025), Will Trent (2023–), based on the bestselling novels by Karin Slaughter, Secrets and Lies (2015–2016), adapted from the Australian mystery series, Mistresses (2013–2016), based on the popular British series, and The Streets of San Francisco (1972–1977), a classic police drama adapted from Carolyn Weston’s novel Poor, Poor Ophelia.

Now, ABC’s hit crime series adaptation, R.J. Decker, has officially started a new era on streaming. Inspired by Carl Hiaasen’s 1987 novel Double Whammy, the series stars Scott Speedman as the titular disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in South Florida, tackling unusual cases with the help of his journalist ex, her police officer wife, and a mysterious woman from his past.

How Did Season 2 Leave The Hit Crime Series?

R.J. Decker‘s season 2 finale just aired on October 27, ending on a cliffhanger as Mel (Bevin Bru) discovers that her late police partner Bobby Werner’s wife, Jessica, is actually a serial scammer and his true killer. Jessica calls Mel with a chilling warning (“I wonder who you’ll be without your family“) and is revealed to be lurking outside Mel’s house, watching her wife, Catherine (Adelaide Clemens), and daughter, Sofia (Melodie Rose Romano).

R.J. Decker season 3 has not yet been officially renewed by ABC, though showrunner Rob Doherty and the cast have indicated that they have plans for the story if it is picked up.
