New crime-drama pilot opens the door for restaurant, bar, and law enforcement extras: ABC is gearing up for its next potential hit with “RJ Decker,” a gritty, character-driven crime drama filming in Wilmington, North Carolina — and producers are now on the hunt for locals ready to step in front of the camera.
Based on Carl Hiaasen’s popular novel, RJ Decker follows a disgraced newspaper photographer-turned-private investigator who navigates the wild, unpredictable underbelly of South Florida. Between bizarre cases, explosive confrontations, and a mysterious woman from his past, Decker walks the line between redemption and danger — and now you could join the world he inhabits.
