Entertainment Now | May 27 - June 2, 2023 By Raye Smith TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON PRIME VIDEO "Deadloch" - Season 1 Get on the case with the eight- part Australian dark comedy series, "Deadloch," when it makes its Prime Video premiere Friday, June 2. From the hilarious minds of "The Katering Show" and "Get Krack!n's" Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, the series is set in the sleepy seaside hamlet of Dead- loch, Tasmania. When a local man turns up dead on the beach and the town is left reeling, two detec- tives are thrown together to solve the case: fastidious local Senior Sgt. Dulcie Collins (Kate Box, "Rake") and Senior Investigator Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami, "Super City"), a rough blow-in from Darwin. As the town gets ready for its annual arts, food and culture event — the Winter Feasti- val — the duo, along with their overeager junior constable, Abby (Nina Oyama, "Utopia"), put their differences aside as they work to- gether to find the killer. Directed by Ben Chessell ("Offspring"), Beck Cole ("Black Comedy") and Gracie Otto ("The Last Impresario," 2013), "Deadloch" also stars Tom Ballard ("Fully Furnished"), Alicia Gardiner ("Offspring"), Susie Youssef ("Rosehaven"), Pamela Rabe ("Wentworth"), Kris Mc- Quade ("Rosehaven"), Duncan Fellows ("The Letdown"), Harvey Zielinski ("Don't Look Deeper"), Shaun Martindale ("The Tailings"), Katie Robertson ("Five Bed- rooms"), Nick Simpson-Deeks ("The Circuit"), Mia Morrissey ("Home and Away"), Leonie Whyman ("New Gold Mountain"), Mick Davies ("Rosehaven"), Holly Austin ("Candy," 2006), Kartanya Maynard ("The Messenger") and Astrid Wells ("The Kettering Inci- dent").

The new season finds Lily focus- ing all of her energy on a journey of self-love after her whirlwind ro- mance with Santiago (Rome Flynn, "How to Get Away With Murder") by growing her business and look- ing for more independence.
