Lock in March 20 for Deadloch S2

Prime Video will stream season two of global hit Australian Amazon Original series Deadloch from March 20.

The crime comedy starring Kiwi Madeleine Sami and Kate Box is returning for six more episodes, with Luke Hemsworth and Steve Bisley lending more heft to the cast.

S1 was a breakout hit, reaching the Top 10 TV Shows in more than 165 countries and territories on Prime Video, including the US, UK, and Canada.

It won five AACTA Awards, including Best Acting in a Comedy for Box and Best Screenplay in Television for Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, and was nominated for an International Emmy Award.

Reads the rest of the media release:

Forget Tassie Noir – Deadloch is entering its Tropical Gothic era.

Detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) are in Australia’s sweltering Top End, aka the Northern Territory, investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy.

But when the body of a local icon is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a sweatier, stickier, croc-ier crime case.

Closer to South Asia than to Australia’s capital city, our hero town of Barra Creek is a vast departure from Season One’s icy Tasmanian setting.

From verdant tropical canopies, red dirt roads that disappear into the horizon, glassy waterways that house 65-million-year-old predators, and sunsets so breathtakingly beautiful that they literally command a standing ovation every night, the Northern Territory’s awe-inspiring landscape and weather shape this season’s look and feel.

The heat and humidity are enough to send our detectives into a frenzy, or at least leave them with some horrific chafing.
