The hype surrounding Troppo Season 2 has made fans wonder if a potential Season 3 will be released.
The show's sophomore run mainly revolved around Ted Conkaffey (Thomas Jane) and Amanda Pharrell's (Nicole Chamoun) continued journeys as private investigators of Crimson Lake.
The pair had a lot on their plate in Season 2, such as proving a teenager's innocence after being framed, Ted's tragic past catching up with him, and Amanda's new romance.
Troppo Season 2 premiered on ABC TV and iView on July 5. The series started streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Freeve on July 25.

Will a Troppo Season 3 Happen?
While ABC TV has yet to confirm if a Troppo Season 3 will happen, there are some signs pointing to its potential renewal.
Perhaps most notably, the viewership performance of Season 2 thus far has been decent - following its Prime Video premiere on July 25, it ranked as the sixth-most-watched series in the U.S. on the streamer on both July 30 and July 31.
An announcement of whether or not Troppo will live on for a third season will likely come at some point later this year.
Troppo Season 1 premiered on ABC TV in February 2022. Season 2 was announced in October 2023 and landed a release window in July 2024.
Given the distance of the first two seasons, a potential Season 3 won't be released until sometime in 2026.
Troppo's positive reception does help its renewal chances, boasting a 100% critic score and 82% audience rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
Troppo is based on Candice Fox's best-selling Crimson Lake novels, which are a part of a trilogy.
Season 1 served as a faithful adaptation of 2017's Crimson Lake where the main story explores the unlikely partnership of a former cop (Ted) and a newbie private investigator (Amanda).
In the series' debut season, Amanda and Ted work together to find out who killed Jong Park, a well-regarded engineer who had been working for Dellagua. Meanwhile, in the novel, they investigate what happened to a missing author named Jake Scully.
While the cases between the first book and the series were different, Amanda and Ted's bond still served as the main focus.
Redemption Point (Book 2 of the trilogy) peeled back the layers of Ted's haunting past while also introducing new detective Pip Sweeney into the mix.
Although there are some story beats from the book that did not make the cut in Season 2 (such as the introduction of the father of Ted's alleged rape victim, Dale Bingley), Season 2 still stayed true to the core of Redemption Point as it largely focused on Ted being wrongfully accused of raping a girl from his past and the introduction of Pip Sweeney (Zindzi Okenyo).
What To Expect in a Potential Troppo Season 3
Troppo Season 2's finale left several unresolved storylines that could be explored in a potential Season 3.
The Season 2 finale revealed that Ted and Amanda successfully found out who was behind the murder of healing retreat leader Julian (spoiler alert: it was Ronnie).
The unlikely duo's success suggests that there will be more cases for them to solve in Season 3, and referrals could help them continue their craft.
Elsewhere, the storyline involving Twist (Simon Lyndon) and his ties to the drug mafia is also expected to be unpacked. He was last seen being abducted by an unknown gang, and it looks like it will be up to Ted and Amanda to save him.
Troppo Season 3 could also loosely adapt the storyline of Gone by Midnight, the third book in Candice Fox's Crimson Lake trilogy.
Gone by Midnight revolves around a boy who mysteriously disappears in the middle of the night at White Caps Hotel. The parents seek the help of Ted and Amanda to find their missing son.
It's possible that a potential Season 3 could showcase its take based on Gone by Midnight's plot while also tackling unexplored storylines left hanging at the end of Season 2.
New episodes of Troppo Season 2 are streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Freevee in the U.S., UK, Germany, and Austria.
