The wait is finally over for fans of the hit Australian crime comedy Deadloch. The show’s second season is arriving on Prime Video this month with a brand new setting, plenty of new faces, and the same sharp humor that made the first season a global favorite. Here is everything you need to know about when and where to watch Deadloch Season 2, no matter where you are in the world.
Deadloch Season 2 Premieres on March 20, 2026
Deadloch Season 2 will launch globally on Friday, March 20, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video. The streaming platform confirmed the release date in November 2025, giving fans a clear timeline for when they can reunite with detectives Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe.
The second season consists of six episodes. Unlike some streaming shows that drop every episode at once, Deadloch Season 2 will follow a weekly release schedule. The first two episodes will be available on premiere day, March 20, with new episodes releasing every Friday after that. The season finale is scheduled to arrive on April 17, 2026.
This release strategy gives viewers time to soak in each episode and join the conversation as the mystery unfolds week by week.

What is Deadloch Season 2 About?
The second season takes a major creative leap by moving the action from Tasmania to the Northern Territory in Australia. The show’s creators, Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, have called this shift the series entering its Tropical Gothic era.
The story follows detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) as they arrive in Darwin to investigate the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy. But their plans get complicated when a body part is discovered in a remote town called Barra Creek.
With local police focused on searching for two missing backpackers, Dulcie and a very unwilling Eddie get assigned to identify the victim. The pair soon find themselves dealing with crocodile-fueled tourism, guarded locals, overworked Indigenous rangers, and massive prehistoric predators that call the waterways home.
The official synopsis describes the detectives as sticky, sweaty and juggling comprehensive thrush infections as they dig deeper into the case. The oppressive heat and humidity of the Top End become characters in their own right, shaping the look and feel of the entire season.
The fictional town of Barra Creek sits closer to South Asia than to Australia’s capital city, offering a complete departure from the icy Tasmanian setting of Season One. The landscape features tropical canopies, red dirt roads that disappear into the horizon, glassy waterways housing 65-million-year-old predators, and sunsets so striking that they command a standing ovation every night.
Returning Cast Members
Several familiar faces are coming back for the new season. The core detective duo remains intact, with Kate Box returning as the meticulous Senior Sergeant Dulcie Collins and Madeleine Sami reprising her role as the chaotic Detective Eddie Redcliffe. Their on-screen chemistry drove much of the first season’s success, and early reviews suggest their dynamic remains central to the story.
Nina Oyama is back as the anxious but lovable junior officer Abby Matsuda, while Alicia Gardiner returns as Cath York, Dulcie’s wife. These returning characters provide continuity as the show shifts locations and expands its scope.
New Cast Members Joining Season 2
The second season brings in a substantial group of new faces. The most high-profile addition is Luke Hemsworth, older brother of Chris and Liam Hemsworth. He joins the cast alongside a roster of accomplished Australian performers.
Luke Hemsworth has joined the cast of Australian cop comedy Deadloch’s second season on Prime Video, reported Deadline in November 2024.
Hemsworth will play Jason Wade, the creator and star of Jason Wade’s Adventures Down Under and the owner of Jason Wade’s Land of Crocs and Other Animals Wildlife Park.
The complete list of new cast members includes Steve Bisley (Mad Max, The Great Gatsby), Shari Sebbens (The Sapphires, Top End Bub), acclaimed writer and director Jean Tong in their acting debut, Genevieve Morris (Bloom), Byron Coll (Time Bandits), Nikki Britton (How to Stay Married), Anthony J Sharpe (Joe v Carole), Blake Pavey, Damien Garvey (The Artful Dodger), Ngali Shaw (The Twelve), Bev Killick (Savage River), Ling Cooper-Tang (Troppo), Ursula Yovich (Top End Bub), Syd Brisbane (High Country), Ines English (Last Days of the Space Age), Lennox Monaghan, Reiden Corpus, and Storm Murgha.
Early reviews have already singled out some of the new cast members. Nikki Britton, who plays a crocodile tour operator, steals every scene she is in according to The West Australian.
The Creative Team Behind Season 2
The creative team behind the show remains consistent. Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, collectively known as The Kates, created the series and serve as writers and executive producers. Their sharp comedic voice defined the first season’s unique tone, blending genuine mystery with absurd humor.
We are so excited to head to the Top End for a sticky, sweaty and filthy Season Two, McCartney and McLennan said when production began.
Behind the camera, Beck Cole and Gracie Otto direct the second season. The production comes from Guesswork Television and OK Great Productions in association with Amazon MGM Studios. Andy Walker produces, with executive producers including Kevin Whyte, Tanya Phegan, and Ben Grogan from Guesswork Television.

The Success of Season 1
The first season of Deadloch became an unexpected global hit when it debuted in 2023. The show reached the Top 10 TV Shows in more than 165 countries and territories on Prime Video, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. This international reach demonstrated that Australian storytelling could resonate far beyond its home market.
Critics and awards bodies took notice as well. The series won five AACTA Awards, including Best Acting in a Comedy for Kate Box and Best Screenplay in Television for Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan. The show also received an International Emmy Award nomination and a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding New Series.
Season One of Deadloch holds a 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, with an 89% audience score. That foundation of odd-couple policing mixed with sharp social commentary created a devoted fanbase eager for more.
A word of warning: Aussie series Deadloch is not for the faint of heart. It’s certainly not for those who like their TV free of f and c bombs — they’re there by the f…load, sorry, TRUCK load, in the second season, noted The West Australian in a recent review.
The same review called the show far and away the funniest thing you’ll see on TV right now, adding that it ranks among the best comedy on any platform globally.
With the release date now confirmed and the trailer generating buzz, fans of the show have a clear timeline for when they can reunite with their favorite dysfunctional detective duo. The expanded cast, new setting, and continued involvement of the original creative team suggest Deadloch Season 2 aims to build on the first season’s success while taking viewers somewhere completely unexpected.
