Amazon Original, Deadloch, has been renewed for a second season with production scheduled to begin later this year with filming taking place at Screen Queensland Studios, Brisbane as well as utilising the local waterways.

The Australian series is a Prime Video, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television production, with the support of Screen Queensland and Screen Territory, co-created by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan.

The first season was set in Tasmania. Season two is set in Darwin. Kate Box and Madeleine Sami reprise their roles as Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe. Also reprising their roles are Nina Oyama as Abby Matsuda and Alicia Gardiner as Cath York, Dulcie’s wife.

The pair of detectives are in Darwin investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy, but when the bodies of two local icons are discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a new sweatier, stickier investigation.

McCartney and McLennan also serve as executive producers alongside Kevin Whyte and Tanya Phegan from Guesswork Television. Andy Walker is the producer and the series will be directed by Beck Cole and Gracie Otto.
