Scott Speedman is back on ABC, but he has traded hospital scrubs for a camera and a criminal record. His new crime drama, R.J. Decker, officially premiered Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET. The series brings a sun-drenched, gritty atmosphere to the network’s Tuesday night lineup.

The show is based on the cult-classic novel Double Whammy by acclaimed author Carl Hiaasen. Speedman stars as the titular character, a disgraced newspaper photographer and former convict who attempts to rebuild his life as a private investigator. Set against the humid backdrop of South Florida, Decker navigates a world filled with eccentric locals and corporate corruption.

Early buzz from TVLine and The Los Angeles Times highlights Speedman’s charismatic performance and the show's unique, quirky tone. For fans who missed the broadcast premiere, episodes are available to stream the following day on Hulu. The series is expected to be a strong performer for ABC as it blends dark humor with traditional detective procedural elements.
