Hit Tasmanian crime-comedy ‘Deadloch’ has been renewed for a second season, Amazon Prime Video has confirmed.
The critically acclaimed show from Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan shot to fame on the Top 10 TV Shows list in more than 165 countries and territories in its first season.
Production on the six-part second season, which follows two very different detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami), will begin later this year.
In season two, the detective duo head to the Top End of Australia to investigate the death of Eddie’s former Darwin policing partner, Bushy.
However, they soon find themselves entangled in a new case involving the murders of two local icons.
“We are thrilled that Deadloch will be returning for a second season to give our global Prime Video customers another dose of its unique blend of Australian humour and gripping mystery, this time set against the visually stunning Northern Territory landscape,” Amazon’s Sarah Christie said.
“The success of the first season, which has become a critical darling and cultivated a passionate fanbase, is a testament to the brilliant creative force of Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan.”
McCartney and McLennan said they were “so excited” to return to the screen for a second season.
“Both of us are thrilled to be teaming up again with comedy angels Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Nina Oyama and Alicia Gardiner and we can’t wait to work with a new bunch of cast members and some massive f—–g crocodiles.”
The second season will also see the return of Nina Oyama as Abby Matsuda and Alicia Gardiner as Cath York, Dulcie’s wife.
