‘R.J. Decker’ Fans, You Need to Sit Down for This Shocking Episode News
A tense season finale
The season 2 finale, “Before You Accuse Me,” centered on Emi hiring private investigator R.J. to examine a police officer’s murder. The investigation was intended to help clear a man wrongly accused of the crime.
The case put R.J. at odds with Mel, according to an ABC press release. The series follows R.J., played by Scott Speedman, as he takes on unusual cases in South Florida.
Season three remains unconfirmed
ABC has not said whether the drama will return for a third season. The network aired both seasons in 2026, leaving open the possibility of new episodes in early 2027, but no return has been announced.
Why season two was short
Season 2 contained seven episodes. In response to TV Insider readers, writer Matt Roush said the season had always been designed with a short order, rather than being canceled mid-run with episodes left unseen.
Roush added that a short order could raise concerns about the network’s view of the series. He said the decision may instead have been driven by economic or programming considerations.
