What’s This TV Show About?

An Ovation Victorian mystery drama, The Artful Detective stars Yannick Bisson, Hélène Joy, Jonny Harris, Thomas Craig, Lachlan Murdoch, Georgina Reilly, Kristian Bruun, Arwen Humphreys, and Mouna Traoré. The Canadian mystery drama centers on William Murdoch (Bisson) — a good-looking, innovative Toronto detective. Murdoch uses fingerprinting, UV Light, and trace evidence in his investigations. Working alongside him to crack the city’s grizzliest murders are pathologist Dr. Julia Ogden (Joy) and Constable George Crabtree (Harris) — Murdoch’s righthand man.
 

 

Telly’s Take

Ovation ratings can be hard to get, and without them it is difficult to predict whether Ovation will cancel or renew The Artful Detective for season 12. Because this is a Canadian TV series though (it also streams on Acorn), my gut says that if CBC pickups the 12th season, Ovation will, too. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and update this page with any breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Artful Detective cancellation and renewal news.

3/26/2018 update: The Artful Detective, which goes by the title Murdoch Mysteries in Canada, has been renewed for season 12 on CBC. Ovation will most likely follow suit. Sometimes, we don’t hear about the US renewals of Canadian TV series until they announce a premiere date, but I’ll update this page, when we know more. Details here.
