(Prime Video)

A familiar face has joined season two of Deadloch.  Prime Video has announced that Luke Hemsworth (Westworld) has joined the Australian series’ cast.

Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Alicia Gardiner, and Nina Oyama star in the black comedy mystery series, which follows two female detectives investigating crimes in the small fictional town of Deadloch. In season two, the pair are in Darwin investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy. Still, when a body is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a new sweatier, stickier investigation.

Steve Bisley, Shari Sebbens, Jean Tong, Genevieve Morris, Byron Coll, Nikki Britton, Anthony J Sharpe, Blake Pavey, Damien Garvey, Ngali Shaw, Bev Killick, Ling Cooper-Tang, Ursula Yovich, Syd Brisbane, Ines English, and Lennox Monaghan are also joining the cast for season two.

Creators, executive producers, and writers Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan said the following about the addition of Hemsworth, “Luke Hemsworth is joining our cast as croc-wrangling Territory icon Jason Wade. We’re feeling very happy with ourselves about this because he’s perfect. It’s perfect casting.”

The premiere date for season two of Deadloch will be announced later.
