Prime Video, Guesswork Television, and OK Great Productions today announced that Australian actor Luke Hemsworth has joined lead cast members Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Nina Oyama, and Alicia Gardiner in Season 2 of the Prime Video global hit series Deadloch.
In the new season, Dulcie and Eddie are in Darwin investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy. When a body is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a new, sweatier, stickier investigation.
In the series, created and written by powerhouse comedy minds Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, Luke Hemsworth (Westworld, Thor: Love & Thunder) will play Jason Wade, creator and star of “Jason Wade’s Adventures Down Under” and the owner of “Jason Wade’s Land of Crocs and Other Animals Wildlife Park.”
Having completed filming in the Northern Territory, the Deadloch production has now moved to Queensland, utilizing the Brisbane studios and, for cast safety, the less croc-infested waters.
Creators, executive producers, and writers Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan said, “Luke Hemsworth is joining our cast as croc-wrangling Territory icon Jason Wade. We’re feeling very happy with ourselves about this because he’s perfect. It’s perfect casting.”
The previously announced new cast members include Steve Bisley, Shari Sebbens, Jean Tong, Genevieve Morris, Byron Coll, Nikki Britton, Anthony J Sharpe, Blake Pavey, Damien Garvey, Ngali Shaw, Bev Killick, Ling Cooper-Tang, Ursula Yovich, Syd Brisbane, Ines English, and Lennox Monaghan.
Deadloch Season 2 is created and written by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan who also serve as executive producers alongside Kevin Whyte and Tanya Phegan from Guesswork Television. Andy Walker is the producer, and Beck Cole and Gracie Otto direct the series. Deadloch is produced by Guesswork Television, OK Great Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios.
Deadloch Season 2 is financed with the assistance of Screen Territory through its Production Attraction Incentive Program and supported by the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy.
