Prime Video, in collaboration with Guesswork Television and OK Great Productions, and with support from Screen Queensland and Screen Territory, has announced the commencement of production for the second season of the award-winning Amazon Original series, Deadloch.
Filming for the six-part series is currently underway in the Northern Territory, including Darwin and its surrounding areas. Production will later move to Brisbane, Queensland.
Created and written by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, the second season of Deadloch will see the return of lead stars Kate Box and Madeleine Sami as detectives Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe. Nina Oyama and Alicia Gardiner will reprise their roles as Abby Matsuda and Cath York, respectively.
The new season will also introduce a host of new cast members, including Steve Bisley, Shari Sebbens, Jean Tong, Genevieve Morris, Byron Coll, Nikki Britton, Anthony J Sharpe, Blake Pavey, Damien Garvey, Ngali Shaw, Bev Killick, Ling Cooper-Tang, Ursula Yovich, Syd Brisbane, Ines English, and newcomer Lennox Monaghan, with more to be announced.
In the upcoming episodes, detectives Dulcie and Eddie find themselves in Darwin, investigating the death of Bushy, Eddie’s former cop partner. When the body of a prominent figure from the Top End is discovered in a remote town, the detectives are drawn into a new, more challenging investigation.
The first season of Deadloch received critical acclaim and garnered a significant following both in Australia and internationally. The series reached the Top 10 TV Shows in over 165 countries and territories on Prime Video, including the U.S., UK, and Canada. It also won five AACTA Awards earlier this year, including Best Acting in a Comedy for Kate Box and Best Screenplay in Television for Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan. The series also received three nominations in the 2024 TV WEEK Logie Awards.
Deadloch Season Two is created and written by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, who also serve as executive producers alongside Kevin Whyte and Tanya Phegan from Guesswork Television. Andy Walker is the producer, and the series is directed by Beck Cole and Gracie Otto.
Deadloch is produced by Guesswork Television, OK Great Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios.
