ABC Bets on Season 2 for R.J. Decker, Completing Its Scripted Renewal Sweep

ABC has renewed its freshman drama R.J. Decker, starring Scott Speedman, for a second season, completing ABC’s renewal sweep of all scripted series for the 2026‑27 season.

ABC Reframes Tuesday Night: The Rookie Moves to Mondays as RJ Decker Debuts

ABC reshuffles its schedule: The Rookie shifts from Tuesday to Mondays at 10 PM starting Jan. 26, following Idol, while Scott Speedman’s new drama RJ Decker will premiere March 3 in The Rookie’s former Tuesday slot. The move aims to leverage Idol’s strong lead-in and streaming momentum, with The Rookie posting a robust Season 8 premiere (7.88M in MP+3 and top streaming/social metrics) and RJ Decker set as a South Florida-based private-investigator series produced by 20th TV. The changes are designed to sustain originals through midseason and Olympic coverage.
