Summary
- Filming for ABC's 'RJ Decker' series occurred in West Palm Beach.
- The show is based on a Carl Hiaasen novel about a photographer-turned-private investigator.
- Production crews temporarily closed streets in downtown and the El Cid neighborhood.
Production crews recently filmed scenes for the upcoming ABC series 'RJ Decker' in West Palm Beach. This activity involved temporary street closures in two key areas of the city: downtown near the Palm Beach County Courthouse and along Pershing Way in the El Cid neighborhood. The filming took place on Saturday, January 24.
'RJ Decker' is slated for a March 3 premiere and stars Scott Speedman. The series draws inspiration from a 1987 satirical novel by Florida author Carl Hiaasen. The plot centers on a former photographer who transitions into a private investigator.
The show's premise, as described by ABC Entertainment, follows a disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-convict who becomes a private eye in South Florida. He tackles a variety of unusual cases with a team including his journalist ex, her detective wife, and a mysterious benefactor.
Filming efforts aimed to support the local economy by creating jobs for actors and production personnel. While the novel is set in the Miami area, the extent to which West Palm Beach will be featured in the series remains unclear.
