About the Show
Murdoch Mysteries is a one-hour period drama set in Toronto in the early 1900s during the age of invention, where methodical Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) and his impassioned wife, Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy), enlist radical forensic techniques like fingerprinting and ultraviolet light to solve a range of gruesome murders. Murdoch’s associates include his gruff boss Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), Constables George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Henry Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch), eccentric Detective Llewellyn Watts (Daniel Maslany), and Chief Coroner Violet Hart (Shanice Banton). All are valuable allies helping Murdoch solve cases across the many stratums and evolving manners of Edwardian society.
MURDOCH MYSTERIES is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Yannick Bisson, Hélène Joy, and Peter Mitchell, who also serves as showrunner, and produced by Stephen Montgomery and Julie Lacey. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual & Sports; Trish Williams is Executive Director, Scripted Content; and Nicola Makoway is Executive in Charge of Production.
In the U.S., in addition to broadcaster Ovation, the series is available on Acorn TV and earlier seasons air in syndication. The series has been licensed to broadcasters in 120 countries and territories worldwide to date. The series airs in the UK on Alibi and is one of the highest-rated programs in France on France Television (France3). Other countries include: Brazil, China, Hungary, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Turkey, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Italy, Poland, and Norway.
MURDOCH MYSTERIES is developed and produced by creator and producer Shaftesbury, in association with CBC, ITV STUDIOS Global Entertainment and UKTV, and with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit and the Independent Production Fund/COGECO Program Development Fund.
