There\u2019s a new investigator coming to ABC this TV season<\/a>. The working title for the primetime crime drama is RJ Decker<\/em>. The show will feature Scott Speedman as the titular character, an ex-con and former newspaper photographer who has turned his disgrace into a career as a private investigator.<\/p>\n With Speedman leading this new show, there\u2019s been speculation on whether Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/em>fans should brace for a cast exit. Will the actor be able to play double duty? Here\u2019s what we know!<\/p>\n Back in June, Deadline<\/em><\/a> reported Speedman\u2019s recurring status as Dr. Nick Marsh wasn\u2019t expected to be impacted by a series pick-up for RJ Decker<\/em>. The plan is for the actor to be able to do both shows. News of the series order hasn\u2019t contradicted this information. However, it hasn\u2019t been confirmed by ABC that Speedman won\u2019t be leaving the medical drama during or after season 22.<\/p>\n An official episode count hasn\u2019t been released. The new series is scheduled to premiere during the midseason, which could mean it\u2019ll only have 10 episodes to film. That\u2019ll leave Speedman leeway to make an appearance or more on Grey\u2019s this season. Per the outlet, he\u2019s expected to wrap filming on RJ Decker first and then film for the medical drama. His ability to continue doing so in the next TV season will likely depend on how successful his new series is and whether it\u2019ll stay a midseason offering if it\u2019s renewed.<\/p>\n RJ Decker<\/em> is a crime drama full of odd and bizarre cases. It\u2019s based on Double Whammy <\/em>(1987) by Carl Hiaasen. Speedman\u2019s character is described as being a charmer with a short fuse and restless spirit. If season 1 follows the plot of the book, RJ will be looking for a killer connected to a body found floating in Coon Bog, Florida.<\/p>\n Solving cases requires help from his ex, a journalist, and her police detective husband. It also means relying on the kindness of a new benefactor, a woman tied to RJ\u2019s past, whose assistance could prove her to be his strongest ally or land him right back in prison. But it\u2019s a gamble he\u2019s willing to take, no matter how shadowy she is.<\/p>\n RJ Decker<\/em> premieres in 2026. Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/em>season 22 debuts Thursday, October 9, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. The next day, streaming will be available on Hulu.<\/strong><\/p>\n Next<\/strong>: CBS brands fall line-up \u2018Comfort TV,\u2019 making the network a feel-good destination<\/a>.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported on Soap Hub<\/a> on September 30, 2025.
