Prime Video has released the official trailer for Deadloch Season 2, the returning hit Australian crime comedy. This time around the series is trading Tasmania's coastal chill for the sweltering heat of Australia's Top End.
Here’s everything you need to know about the six-part series which will launch globally on Prime Video March 20.
What is ‘Deadloch’ Season 2 about?
Deadloch is entering its Tropical Gothic era with the new season set in Australia's Northern Territory, aka the Top End.
Detectives Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe are in Darwin to investigate the death of Eddie's former policing partner Bushy. However, their plans change when a body part is discovered in a remote town called Barra Creek.
With the Northern Territory police focused on a large-scale search for two missing backpackers, Dulcie and a very reluctant Eddie are tasked with identifying the John Doe.
Sticky, sweaty, and dealing with thrush infections, the detectives find themselves embroiled in a world of crocodile-fueled tourism, overstretched Indigenous rangers, cagey locals, and seven-meter prehistoric predators—all of whom call Barra Creek their home.
As the humidity builds and Eddie and Dulcie dig deeper, more questions arise for the duo—not only about the case, but the many secrets that lie beneath the surface of this small town.
