RJ Decker is a 2026 American crime action drama film created by Rob Doherty. The film premiered on the Hulu movie platform on March 4, 2026.
„RJ Decker“" is an American crime drama series created by Rob Doherty and inspired by the novel "„Double Whammy“" by Carl Hayesen. It premieres on March 3, 2026 on ABC, with episodes also streaming on Disney and Hulu.
The series combines classic crime intrigue with the more unconventional, sometimes even absurd humor typical of Hayasen's stories. The action takes place in South Florida, a place known for its colorful atmosphere and strange crimes.
The story follows the life of R. J. Decker, a former newspaper photographer whose career and reputation are ruined after a series of personal problems and a stint in prison. Determined to start over, he becomes a private investigator and begins working various cases in South Florida.
His new job takes him into a world filled with unusual crimes, eccentric personalities, and often absurd situations. Decker tries to use his old journalistic skills - observation, curiosity, and an instinct for the truth - to solve crimes that the police have failed to solve.
Along the way, he receives help from several important figures in his life. Among them are his ex-girlfriend, who works as a journalist, and her wife, a police detective. In addition to them, a mysterious woman from his past appears in Decker's life, who may turn out to be both his greatest ally and the person capable of sending him back to prison. As the series progresses, the various cases gradually reveal not only the crimes of Florida, but also the complex character of Decker himself - a man trying to atone for his mistakes and find a new place in life.
The series was created by Rob Doherty, known for his work on crime television. The first episodes were directed by Paul McGuigan, who gave the story a dynamic and visually stylish look. The visual style uses the bright colors and atmosphere of South Florida to create a contrast between the beautiful environment and the often dark crimes. The series balances crime drama with a slightly ironic tone, which distinguishes it from more traditional police series.
Scott Speedman plays the role of R. J. Decker - a former photographer and current private investigator who is trying to build a new life after the mistakes of his past.
Jayna Lee Ortiz plays Emilia "Emmy" Ochoa - a determined police detective who often proves to be an important ally to Decker in investigations.
Bevin Brew appears as Detective Melody "Mel" Abreu - a police professional who must balance the rules of the law with Decker's unconventional methods.
Kevin Rankin plays the role of Aloysius "Wish" Aiken - an old friend of the main character who often involves him in unusual cases.
Adelaide Clemons plays Catherine Delacroix – a mysterious woman from Decker's past, whose appearance complicates his life and brings new secrets.
„RJ Decker“" offers a different take on the crime genre - a mix of mystery, humor and human drama. Instead of the typical tough detective, the series presents a character with many weaknesses who tries to fix his life through his work. With interesting cases, a colorful atmosphere and a charismatic main character, the series has the potential to become a favorite crime show for viewers looking for something different from standard police stories.
