If you’re eager to find out when ‘R.J. Decker’ returns, how to watch it, and what the preview reveals, this guide has you covered. ABC’s crime drama, which premiered in March, has captivated both critics and audiences alike with its clever mysteries and engaging lead, maintaining its momentum into the second season.
The fourth episode, “The Angler,” is scheduled to air on Tuesday, October 6, keeping the show on its regular weekly schedule and giving viewers an extra week to reflect on previous events.
New episodes air every Tuesday on ABC at 10 p.m. ET and PT. For viewers in Europe, Bingebase lists the airtime as 02:00 UTC on October 7, aligning with the evening slot.
Each episode typically runs between 42 and 45 minutes, fitting into the usual hour-long broadcast window when commercials are included.
To watch the new episode live, the easiest option is through ABC. The show is available on the network, whether on television or online, with legal live TV options including Fubo TV, Sling TV, and Hulu Live, eliminating the need for a traditional cable package.
If you prefer to stream, Hulu has you covered. Episodes are available on Hulu at 3 a.m. ET on Wednesdays, and the entire first season is already accessible there. Subscribers to Hulu on Disney+ can also watch on Wednesdays as part of their bundle.
International viewers have options too. Disney+ serves as the international home for the series, with the second season premiere in the UK airing just one day after the US broadcast. Release timings may vary by country, so it’s advisable to check local listings.
The synopsis for ‘The Angler’ hints at a fishing tournament that takes a dark turn. A murder at the event draws R.J. into a case that becomes deeply personal when a figure from his past reemerges. This familiar setup for the series raises the stakes significantly.

Some listings provide different descriptions for the episode, indicating that Emi may face murder charges related to her father’s death, while R.J. and Mel suspect there is more to the story. A mysterious stranger with his own agenda offers assistance, but only for a price.
This Emi storyline connects neatly to the season’s opening arc. Emi’s father, Victor Ochoa, portrayed by David Zayas, is a corrupt Florida state senator, and the premiere confirmed that the repercussions of his death are intensifying.
The season kicked off with an exciting start. In the premiere, R.J. reconnects with an old prison acquaintance, leading him into a series of daring bank heists. This episode aired following the season premiere of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ providing a significant lead-in for the drama.
Subsequent episodes have continued to deliver intriguing cases. The second episode, “Manos: Hands of Fate,” revolved around a missing man, a mysterious item, and a dangerous stranger in a pickup. The third episode, titled “Arms and Armadillos,” is set to air on September 29.
Additionally, fresh family drama is on the horizon. Beau Bridges has joined the cast in a recurring role as Reggie Decker, R.J.’s estranged father. Reports indicate that the season will consist of seven episodes, although ABC has yet to confirm the final count.
The ensemble cast remains a significant draw, with Scott Speedman leading as R.J., alongside Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emi, Bevin Bru as Mel, Kevin Rankin as Wish, and Adelaide Clemens as Catherine. The series draws inspiration from Carl Hiaasen’s novel ‘Double Whammy.’ As R.J. navigates the complexities of this new case, the question remains: can he trust the motives of the stranger offering help, or is there a trap waiting for him?
