Disney+ Drops First Look at Intense New Crime Drama “RJ Decker”

Scott Speedman is stepping into the world of private investigation with a new series that promises twists, tension and plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments. Disney+ has unveiled the trailer for “RJ Decker,” an original drama coming to ABC, Hulu and Disney+ later this year. The show introduces viewers to RJ Decker, a former newspaper photographer and ex-con who’s trying to rebuild his life as a private investigator in the vibrant but crime-heavy landscape of South Florida.

What sets “RJ Decker” apart is its mix of offbeat crime stories and complex characters. RJ navigates cases that range from the slightly unusual to the downright bizarre, often relying on a network of allies that includes his journalist ex, her police detective wife and a shadowy figure from his past whose intentions remain unclear. The tension between trust and betrayal runs through the series, promising a drama that keeps viewers guessing with every episode.

Scott Speedman, known for his role on “Grey’s Anatomy,” leads a cast that also includes Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emilia “Emi” Ochoa, Kevin Rankin, Adelaide Clemens and Bevin Bru. Production for the series took place in Wilmington, North Carolina, with on-location shoots at Carolina Beach and Fort Fisher. Despite some weather delays, Speedman has praised the setting, noting both its scenic charm and the unique energy it brings to the show.

“RJ Decker” draws inspiration from Carl Hiaasen’s novel “Double Whammy,” which means fans can expect the same dark humor and satirical edge that Hiaasen’s work is known for. Executive producers Rob Doherty, Carl Hiaasen, Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman are all deeply involved, giving the series a strong creative backbone. For Speedman, this role represents a new chapter, balancing his ongoing work on “Grey’s Anatomy” while embracing a lead role in a fast-paced crime drama.

The series premieres March 3rd at 10 p.m. ET on ABC, with streaming available the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. While Disney+ hasn’t announced international release dates yet, the global audience can likely expect access in the months following its U.S. debut.

“RJ Decker” signals Disney+’s continued commitment to diversifying its original programming with high-stakes, character-driven dramas that appeal to both traditional TV audiences and streaming subscribers. For viewers looking for suspense, sharp dialogue and morally complex characters, this series could be one of the highlights of the 2026 lineup.
