Only two months after its premiere, an ABC TV show based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel Double Whammy has been renewed for a second season, following strong viewership numbers.

Nielsen reported that it reached 15.2 million total viewers through 35 days of multiplatform viewing. The renewal ensures the story will continue with a new season.

What ABC TV show has been renewed for a second season?

The hit ABC TV show R.J. Decker, from 20th Television, debuted in March and consists of nine episodes. It stars Scott Speedman in the titular role. Other cast members include Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emilia Ochoa, Bevin Bru as Detective Melody Abreu, Kevin Rankin as Aloysius Aiken, and Adelaide Clemens as Catherine Delacroix.

In the show, R.J. Decker is a former newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts a new life as a private investigator in South Florida. Variety reports, “The series follows him tackling cases that range from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife and a shadowy woman from his past who could be his greatest ally … or his one-way ticket back to prison.”

Robert Doherty serves as the showrunner for R.J. Decker. He is also the writer and executive producer. Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman serve as executive producers with Carl Hiaasen and Jason Tracey.

Interestingly, R.J. Decker isn’t the only ABC TV show to be renewed recently. Last month, the network also greenlit two other shows for new seasons.

The first show is Shifting Gears, ABC’s most-watched comedy in linear ratings this season. It averaged 5.4 million viewers on TV and 7 million across all platforms.

Then there’s Scrubs, a revival of the original hit comedy sitcom. Compared to Shifting Gears, it performed even better, reaching 9 million cross-platform viewers and expanding to 11 million in its first month.
