Deadloch, the Emmy-nominated series, returns for its second season, set in the Northern Territory. The show's creators, Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, have crafted a unique blend of crime noir and comedy, with a focus on the complex and often contradictory nature of the Top End. The series explores the tension between truth and secrets, and the challenges of law enforcement in a region with a troubled history. The production took over the town of Batchelor, an hour's drive from Darwin, to create Barra Creek, a fictional town with a pub, a police station, and one bin. The show's cast and crew, including comedian and actor Nina Oyama, have embraced the local culture and history, incorporating it into the narrative. The second season delves into the complexities of the Top End, with a focus on the inherent tension of making a police procedural in a region with a long and troubled history of law enforcement. The show's creators have stayed true to their original mission of dialling up the comedy, with a full five-metre crocodile named Triple-pet, and a casual attitude towards one of the most impressive predators in the world's entire history. Deadloch is streaming globally on Prime Video from 20 March.
