The Hollywood Reporter’s review of ABC’s RJ Decker (Rob Doherty’s Tampa-set adaptation of Carl Hiaasen) notes a breezy Florida mood and a strong supporting presence from Wish, but criticizes Scott Speedman’s lead as not convincingly matching the tone; the premiere overfills exposition, though the second episode offers twisty potential, leaving open the possibility the series could improve as it progresses.
ABC reshuffles its schedule: The Rookie shifts from Tuesday to Mondays at 10 PM starting Jan. 26, following Idol, while Scott Speedman’s new drama RJ Decker will premiere March 3 in The Rookie’s former Tuesday slot. The move aims to leverage Idol’s strong lead-in and streaming momentum, with The Rookie posting a robust Season 8 premiere (7.88M in MP+3 and top streaming/social metrics) and RJ Decker set as a South Florida-based private-investigator series produced by 20th TV. The changes are designed to sustain originals through midseason and Olympic coverage.
Scott Speedman will star as the lead in ABC's drama pilot 'RJ Decker,' a crime series based on Carl Hiaasen's novel, while potentially returning to 'Grey's Anatomy' for its 22nd season, where he plays Nick Marsh. The show follows a disgraced ex-con turned private investigator in South Florida, and Speedman's involvement is expected to be compatible with his role on 'Grey's Anatomy.'
