Deadloch Season 2: Prime Video’s Australian Crime Comedy Earns Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

by

Prime Video is gaining recognition for its diverse range of international shows, and fans will be happy to hear that Deadloch – which received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – is officially coming back for a second season.

The comedic Australian series Deadloch, created by Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney, recently released its second season on Prime Video to positive reviews. The show, which premiered in 2023 and was a critical hit, follows characters Dulcie Collins (played by Kate Box), Cath York (Alicia Gardiner), and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeline Sami). Prime Video plans to continue the series as part of its 2026 programming.

The first season of Deadloch had eight episodes in 2023, but the new season is shorter, with only six episodes, making for a more focused story. All the episodes were written by the creators, known to fans as ‘The Kates’ – Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan. This season, directing duties are shared between Beck Cole and Gracie Otto, maintaining a close-knit and deliberate creative team.

Season 2 of Deadloch is receiving rave reviews, earning a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics are hailing it as a fantastic follow-up to the Australian series. The season reunites the original cast to investigate a new case in the quiet Tasmanian town of Deadloch, with one reviewer calling it “one of the most distinctive and exciting” Australian shows currently available.

I’ve been reading reviews of Deadloch, and one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the humor is still the show’s strongest point. The writers really get the show, and while it gets pretty silly at times, it always works because of that dark, clever comedy and perfect timing. It’s a smart show that knows exactly what it is, and that keeps the story from ever really losing its way.

Deadloch delivers clever writing that balances humor and drama, demonstrating a strong understanding of its viewers. The show’s second season returns to the familiar town and its residents, but features a fresh mystery, increased tension, and even more biting comedy, all while appealing to its established fanbase.

Prime Video has been expanding its international offerings, and the success of shows like Deadloch proves this strategy is working. The series has received positive feedback and even cracked the top 10 on Prime Video in the US after the release of its second season. Since its first season nearly three years ago, Deadloch has steadily gained a dedicated following.

Following a strong start for season 2 of Deadloch, the show is finally receiving the recognition it deserves. With fantastic reviews and high scores on Rotten Tomatoes, the series’ success feels truly earned.

All six episodes of Deadloch season 2 were released on Prime Video on March 20, 2026.
