In the new season, Dulcie and Eddie are in Darwin investigating the death of Eddie's former policing partner, Bushy, but when a body is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a new sweatier, stickier investigation.

Created and written by powerhouse comedy minds, Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, 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, production has now moved to Queensland, utilising 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."

Previously announced new cast members include; Steve Bisley (The Great Gatsby, Mystery Road: Origin, Mad Max), Shari Sebbens (The Sapphires, Thor: Love and Thunder and The Office), Jean Tong (Safe Home, Heartbreak High), Genevieve Morris (Bloom, No Activity), Byron Coll (Time Bandits, The Luminaries), Nikki Britton (How to Stay Married), Anthony J Sharpe (Joe v Carole, Human Error), Blake Pavey (Urvi Went to an All Girls School), Damien Garvey (The Artful Dodger, Jack Irish, Rake), Ngali Shaw (The Twelve, Ladies in Black), Bev Killick (Savage River, Jones Family Christmas), Ling Cooper-Tang (Troppo, Apples Never Fall, Nautilus), Ursula Yovich (Top End Wedding, Mystery Road and the upcoming Top End Bub), Syd Brisbane (High Country, Stateless), Ines English (Last Days of the Space Age) and Lennox Monaghan (Windcatcher).

Deadloch Season Two 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 the series is directed by Beck Cole and Gracie Otto. Deadloch is produced by Guesswork Television, OK Great Productions and Amazon MGM Studios.

About Guesswork Television

Guesswork Television is a full-service production company with offices in Melbourne and Sydney, specialising in narrative comedy, authored documentary, studio entertainment shows and podcasts. Guesswork's crime/comedy pedigree was burnished with season one of Deadloch, the global hit that turned the serial killer genre on its head and made it funny, thrilling and engrossing.

Since kicking off in earnest in 2012, Guesswork shows and their creators have bagged a Primetime Emmy and multiple other awards including Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards, Logie Awards, Writers' Guild Awards, Screen Producers Australia Awards and numerous other guild awards. In 2018, Guesswork Television was honoured by its peers as the Screen Production Business of the Year.

In 2023, Guesswork debuted Deadloch (8 x 60 minute comedy drama for Amazon Prime Video) and Queerstralia (a Zoë Coombs Marr doco series for the ABC). Past glories have included: Hannah Gadsby: Nanette, Please Like Me, Rosehaven, Frayed (co-produced with Merman), Get Krack!n, The Katering Show (Season 2), as well as live standup comedy specials for Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video and Stan. Guesswork's current slate of entertainment projects includes Hard Quiz and The Weekly With Charlie Pickering.

About OK Great Productions

Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan formed Ok Great Productions in 2019 to make a slate of projects that propel the voices of funny people. Together they have created the narrative comedy, Bleak - an award-winning 4-part web series about Life shitting on your face - which was later made into a 30-minute pilot for Australia's national broadcaster, the ABC.

In 2014, the Kates created The Katering Show, an 8 x 10 min web-series about an intolerable foodie (McLennan) and her food intolerant friend (McCartney) - which they wrote and directed, and also produced with Tamasin Simpkin. The first season of The Katering Show debuted on Youtube in 2015 and was viewed over 2 million times within its first week online. To date, the channel has over 100,000 subscribers and episodes have had over 9 million views. The series won 'Best of the Fest' and 'Best Short-Form Digital Series' at the New York Television Festival and was nominated for a 'Best Indie Web Series' at the Streamy Awards (US). In Australia, ABC's catch-up service, iView, commissioned a second season of the show and this production remains one of the platform's highest viewed original series. The Katering Show has also aired on ABC TV's main channel.

In 2017, McCartney and McLennan set their sights on the chirpy world of morning television with their full length satirical comedy Get Krack!n, which was made with the ABC and NBC's SVOD service Seeso.

In 2023, Deadloch was release globally on Prime Video to great audience and critical success.
