QUEENSLAND, Australia – November 5, 2024 – Prime Video, Guesswork Television, and OK Great Productions today announced that Australian actor Luke Hemsworth will join lead cast members Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Nina Oyama and Alicia Gardiner in Season Two 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, but when a body is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a new sweatier, stickier investigation.

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.”
