It's the 'R.J. Decker' and 'Dancing with the Stars' crossover you won't want to miss
Guest stars include Jenna Johnson, Val Chmerkovskiy and Joey Graziadei
"R.J. Decker" returns for its second season with a three-show crossover event featuring appearances from familiar faces from across ABC entertainment franchises.
The season premiere opens with a flash mob scene that includes "Dancing with the Stars" pros Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy. Miami affiliate WSVN was there as they filmed.
"I just love these little crossovers, integrating these worlds together," Johnson said. "To be part of their season premiere is just really incredible."
Chmerkovskiy said the experience brought together dancers and actors for a memorable sequence.
"We put a dance together, I think the performance turned out great, the actors are doing great and yeah it's a lot of fun," he said.
Joey Graziadei, known from "The Bachelor" and as the winner of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 33, plays a thief.
"It's been really fun to be part of this crew and this cast, everyone's been super inviting," Graziadei said.
The flash mob is one of several surprises featured in Season two, according to the cast.
"There's more action, the stakes are higher. And coming out of season one, there's a big whodunit at the end of that season so the first two, three, four episodes we're really leaning heavily on that storyline," Scott Speedman said.
That whodunit is the murder of Emi's father. Jaina Lee Ortiz, who plays Emi, said we'll see the series hit the balance of dark and light.
"With this situation, it's a light enough show, we have the levity, but we also have the deep emotional, those relationships that really come into play." Ortiz said.
Bevin Bru summed up the new season this way.
"This season, if I had to be like one word - 'R.J. Decker' season two? MORE," Bru said. "So everything is like the story the drama the relationships, the maybe love triangle!"
That's quite a tease!
Season two of "R.J. Decker" airs Tuesdays on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
