‘R. J. Decker’ Season 2 Episode 2 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch Next

Scott Speedman’s South Florida private investigator has just wrapped up the season premiere, and fans are already marking their calendars for what’s next. ‘RJ Decker’ kicked off its second season on ABC with a crossover featuring ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ which brought in some unexpected celebrity cameos. The excitement from the premiere has viewers eager to know when episode two will be available.

Both seasons of the show were filmed in and around Wilmington and Carolina Beach, contributing to its unique South Florida vibe. With ‘RJ Decker’ premiering to 3.69 million viewers, making it ABC’s most-watched drama debut in the 10 p.m. time slot in over five years, there’s plenty of reason for the network to maintain the momentum heading into episode two.

‘RJ Decker’ Season 2 premiered on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET and PT on ABC, with new episodes airing weekly on Tuesdays. This schedule means that episode two is set to air the following Tuesday, continuing in the show’s regular 10 p.m. slot on the network.

New episodes will continue to air on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET and PT, so fans can anticipate the second installment to pick up right where the season opener left off. The premiere, titled “The Point of Us Breaking,” featured a reunion with an old prison acquaintance that pulled R.J. into a series of daring bank heists as the aftermath of Victor Ochoa’s death deepens.

While episode two does not yet have an official title or synopsis available to the public, viewers can expect the investigation into Victor’s death to continue expanding. The show has established its identity by blending weekly case mysteries with the ongoing emotional fallout among its main characters.

‘RJ Decker’ airs on Hulu on Wednesday mornings, with new episodes available at 3 a.m. ET and 12 a.m. PT the day after they air on ABC. This means fans who miss the Tuesday night broadcast won’t have to wait long to catch up on the streaming platform.

The entire first season is also accessible on Hulu, which is useful for anyone new to the crime drama or those wanting a refresher before diving into the new season. Hulu is also available through the Disney Plus Hulu bundle, providing subscribers with more options for accessing new episodes.

For international viewers, ‘RJ Decker’ Season 2 will be available in Canada on Disney Plus starting September 16, 2026. Fans outside the U.S. who lack direct access to Hulu often resort to using a VPN connected to a U.S. server as a workaround, although the most reliable option remains regional Disney streaming platforms where available.

The series stars Scott Speedman as R.J. Decker, Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emilia Emi Ochoa, Bevin Bru as Detective Melody Mel Abreu, Kevin Rankin as Aloysius Wish Aiken, and Adelaide Clemens as Catherine Delacroix. Beau Bridges joins the cast in season two as Reggie Decker, adding a new family dynamic to R.J.’s already complicated life.

Mélodie Rose Romano appears in a recurring role this season, alongside David Zayas and Stephen Bishop as guest stars. Zayas’ return is significant given his character Victor Ochoa’s death was the central mystery of the season two premiere, suggesting flashbacks or additional context surrounding his murder could play a role in the early episodes.

Sasheer Zamata also guest stars this season as Special Agent Melinda Winwood, a new addition that hints at federal involvement in the investigation concerning Victor’s death. Most of the season one ensemble has remained intact heading into this new run, which should help maintain the show’s established chemistry.

The main mystery of the season revolves around who killed Victor Ochoa, and showrunner Rob Doherty has been open about how that death will impact the cast. According to comments Doherty shared with TV Insider, those closest to R.J. will find themselves under scrutiny, and Victor’s murder will strain the relationship between Emi and R.J., as both can be viewed as suspects.

Doherty also mentioned that Emi will feel guilt for not seeing this coming, but the reality is she set R.J. up for an arrest, making him vulnerable to someone else who has yet to be identified. This storyline suggests that episode two could delve deeper into the identity of that mysterious individual.

In addition to the Victor Ochoa mystery, the season picks up two to three months after the spring finale, with R.J. still getting drawn into new trouble, this time through a series of bank heists linked to an old prison acquaintance. Balancing the case of the week format with deeper family drama has become a hallmark of ‘RJ Decker,’ and it’s likely that episode two will continue to juggle both elements.

‘RJ Decker’ has already received positive feedback from critics and audiences, holding scores of 78 percent and 73 percent on Rotten Tomatoes respectively, indicating that the show has cultivated a loyal fanbase as it enters its second season. With Victor’s killer still unknown and R.J.’s relationships more strained than ever, episode two has a lot at stake, so let us know who you believe is truly responsible for Victor Ochoa’s murder and whether R.J. and Emi can weather the fallout together.
