Decker’ Moving To 9 PM Tuesdays As It Awaits Season 2 Renewal"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tABC<\/a>\u2018s new Scott Speedman<\/a> light crime drama R.J. Decker<\/a> is on the move. Currently airing in the Tuesday 10 PM slot behind High Potential, the freshman series will slide into High Potential\u2018s Tuesday 9 PM berth once the Kaitlin Olson drama wraps its second season on April 7. (Like all other ABC shows, R.J. Decker streams next day on Hulu.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThe move mirrors The Rookie\u2019s shift from 10 PM<\/a> to 9 PM on Tuesdays last season after it premiered its seventh season behind High Potential. (The Nathan Fillion series relocated to Mondays<\/a> earlier this year to make room for R.J. Decker.)<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the lead-up to R.J. Decker\u2019s 9 PM debut on April 14, ABC will re-air the show\u2019s first three episodes back-to-back on Thursday, April 9. That shows a commitment to the show from the network, which is giving the newbie extra exposure as R.J. Decker is being evaluated for renewal.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a solid launch with 3.69 million Live+Same day viewers<\/a> to post ABC\u2019s most-watched 10 PM drama debut in over five years, R.J. Decker has been consistent and a regular presence in Hulu\u2019s Daily Top 5. While not a breakout hit of the size of High Potential, it\u2019s looking promising for renewal at the moment but still too early three weeks into the show\u2019s run.<\/p>\n

\n\tA new series that launched alongside R.J. Decker this midseason and looks like a lock for renewal with strong multi-platform delivery is the Scrubs reboot. <\/p>\n

\n\tWritten by Rob Doherty, R.J. Decker stars Speedman as the eponymous character, a former newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida. Jaina Lee Ortiz, Bevin Bru, Kevin Rankin and Adelaide Clemens also star. <\/p>\n

\n\tInspired by Carl Hiaasen\u2019s novel Double Whammy, R.J. Decker is produced by 20th Television. Doherty serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Hiaasen, Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman are executive producers. Paul McGuigan directs and executive produces, and Speedman is a producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ABC\u2018s new Scott Speedman light crime drama R.J. Decker is on the move.
