‘RJ Decker’ Season 2 Episode 7 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next episode of ‘RJ Decker’ arrives on Tuesday, October 27, and it will close out this run of the ABC crime drama. The finale is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET on ABC. ABC confirmed the date in an October 12 announcement.
Anyone tracking the ‘RJ Decker’ release date, air time and streaming options will find the picture fairly simple. The episode is titled “Before You Accuse Me.” It sends the title character into a sensitive investigation that puts him at odds with a close ally.
RJ Decker Release Date and Time
The finale airs on Tuesday, October 27, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. That slot is 9 p.m. Central, matching the Tuesday night placement the network gave the show this fall. ABC lists the series as a Tuesday program at 10/9c.
The previous installment, “Blame It on the Rain,” is scheduled for October 20, one week before the finale. The full schedule has a new episode landing every Tuesday from September 15 through October 27. That steady weekly rhythm means viewers have no break to plan around before the finale.
The current run is shorter than the debut one, which opened on March 3 and stretched across nine episodes. The compact order gives each remaining hour more weight in the larger story.
Where to Watch RJ Decker
The most direct way to see the finale is live on ABC at the time listed above. Episodes also stream on Hulu the following day. That gives viewers who miss the broadcast a quick way to catch up.
The show is available to stream on Hulu, according to local outlet WECT. A series guide also lists Disney+ among the streaming homes. Viewers who prefer to wait for the next day should check both services.
Ratings for the show lagged behind ‘Will Trent’ and ‘High Potential’ but were solid on Hulu, according to WECT’s summary of Deadline’s reporting. The streaming numbers help explain why next day viewing matters to this particular series.
RJ Decker Episode Preview
In the finale, Emi hires R.J. to re-investigate the murder of a police officer, hoping to exonerate a man who may have been wrongly convicted after taking the fall. The sensitive nature of the case puts R.J. at odds with Mel. The setup turns a case of the week into a test of loyalty.
Mel is identified in cast listings as Detective Melody Romero, played by Bevin Bru. A conflict between a private investigator and a police detective gives the finale a natural pressure point. It also keeps the focus on the relationships that have defined the series.
The finale also follows a season built on unresolved family business. The first season ended with the murder of Victor Ochoa. The new run opened with the fallout from his death deepening while Emi tried to learn who killed her father.
Beau Bridges joined the cast as R.J.’s father, Reggie Decker, in the October 6 episode “The Angler.” In “Better Luck Tomorrow,” father and son worked together to uncover who was gaslighting a caretaker at a senior living community. That pairing adds a personal layer heading into the final hour.
RJ Decker Renewal Status
As of October 13, ABC had not announced a renewal or cancellation for the show. Networks typically unveil plans for the following broadcast year in May, so the wait for news could run for months after the finale. The timeline mirrors what happened last year.
The first season ended on April 28, and the renewal did not arrive until May 8, making it the last ABC show to have its fate decided. According to Deadline, the series sat on the bubble but had sizable internal support, with Scott Speedman as its main selling point.
Speedman has said he would like the show to keep exploring the love triangle involving R.J. and Emi in another season. Recent audience numbers have been encouraging, though that does not guarantee a return. If Emi’s request pits R.J. against Mel in the finale, which loyalty should he protect, and does that fallout earn the show another run?
