‘R.J. Decker’ Season 2 Episode 4 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch as Decker Returns to the Water while a Case Gets Personal
Fans of ‘R.J. Decker’ have another case to look forward to, and the next chapter is being billed as a personal one. The fourth episode of the second season is titled “The Angler” and is listed as upcoming. The former photographer turned private investigator is about to wade into some murky South Florida waters.
If you want to know when ‘R.J. Decker‘ returns, how to watch it and what the preview promises, this guide covers all of it. ABC’s crime drama premiered in March and won over critics and audiences with its clever mysteries and charismatic lead. The second season has kept that momentum going.
Release Date and Time for Episode 4
The fourth episode, “The Angler,” is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6. That keeps the show on its weekly rhythm and gives viewers one more week to digest the events leading up to it.
New episodes air every Tuesday on ABC at 10 p.m. ET and PT. Bingebase lists the airtime as 02:00 UTC on October 7, which lines up with that evening slot for viewers in Europe.
Individual episodes run somewhere between 42 and 45 minutes. Expect the usual hour long broadcast window once commercials are factored in.
Where to Watch the New Episode?
The simplest way to catch ‘R.J. Decker’ live is through ABC. The only place to watch it live is on the network, whether on a television or online, and legal live TV options include Fubo TV, Sling TV and Hulu Live. That means you do not need a traditional cable package.
If you would rather stream, Hulu has you covered. Episodes land on Hulu at 3 a.m. ET on Wednesdays, and the whole first season is already available there. Hulu on Disney+ subscribers who have the bundle can watch on Wednesdays as well.
Viewers outside the United States have options too. Disney+ is the international home for the series, and the UK received the second season premiere just one day after the US broadcast. Release timing varies by country, so check your local listings.
“The Angler” Episode Preview and What to Expect
The synopsis for ‘The Angler’ points to a fishing tournament gone wrong. A murder at the event pulls R.J. into a case that turns deeply personal when a figure from his past resurfaces. That is a familiar setup for this series, but the personal stakes could raise the temperature.
Some listings describe the episode differently, so details may shift. One guide says Emi faces murder charges over her father’s death, and that R.J. and Mel are convinced there is more to the story. It adds that a mysterious stranger with an agenda offers to help, but only for a price.
The Emi thread would connect neatly to the season’s opening storyline. Emi’s father Victor Ochoa is a corrupt Florida state senator played by David Zayas. The premiere confirmed that the fallout from his death was deepening.
How the Second Season Set Up This Case
The season opened with a bang. In the premiere, a reunion with an old prison acquaintance pulled R.J. into a string of daring bank heists. It aired after the season premiere of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ which gave the drama a big lead in.
The following installments kept the strange cases coming. The second episode, “Manos: Hands of Fate,” involved a missing man, a mysterious item and a dangerous stranger in a pickup. The third episode is titled “Arms and Armadillos” and arrives on September 29.
There is also fresh family drama on the horizon. Beau Bridges joined the cast in a recurring role as Reggie Decker, R.J.’s estranged father. Reports suggest the season runs for seven episodes, though ABC has not officially confirmed the final count.
The ensemble remains a big part of the appeal. Scott Speedman leads as R.J., with Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emi, Bevin Bru as Mel, Kevin Rankin as Wish and Adelaide Clemens as Catherine. The series is inspired by Carl Hiaasen’s novel ‘Double Whammy.’ If a stranger really is offering R.J. help for a price while Emi’s future hangs in the balance, do you trust his motives or is a trap waiting at the end of the line?
