Los Angeles, CA – October 13, 2017 After building a dedicated fan base over the last 10 seasons, Ovation TV, America’s only arts network, is returning for season 11 of The Artful Detective. The network has acquired US premiere linear rights to The Artful Detective, season 11 (18 x 60′) from ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
The twist-filled season 10 finale saw the futures of Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) and the heroes of Station House No. 4 in jeopardy amidst a corruption investigation gone awry. Season 11 will pick up with the aftermath of the finale’s events that left the lives of Murdoch’s beloved Dr. Julia Ogden (Hél�ne Joy), Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) and Constables George Crabtree (Jonny Harris), Henry Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch), and Slugger Jackson (Kristian Bruun) at stake and their fates unknown. Season 11 storylines will feature a number of Canadian and international historical figures, including physician William Osler and Helen Keller, the return of artist Tom Thomson, President Theodore Roosevelt, and Alexander Graham Bell.
“We are continually pleased with the quality and brilliance of Shaftesbury’s productions,” Scott Woodward, EVP of Programming and Production, Ovation, stated. “American fans of Artful have been anxiously anticipating the new season and we are glad to be broadcasting it early next year.”
Known as Murdoch Mysteries in Canada and international territories, the series is developed and produced by 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 COGECO Program Development Fund. Shaftesbury Sales Company and ITV STUDIOS Global Entertainment hold worldwide distribution rights for the series. The series is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Yannick Bisson and Peter Mitchell, who also serves as showrunner, and produced by Stephen Montgomery and Julie Lacey.
The eleventh season of The Artful Detective will premiere in January 2018 on Ovation TV and will also be available on Ovation NOW and VOD.”
What do you think? Have you seen The Artful Detective? Will you watch the new season?
Love the show. Cannot wait to see Season 11
My sister and I have been waiting for Murdoch Mysteries to start up again. But, I was out to lunch with some friends and they wanted to know what TV shows I watch. I told them Murdoch Mysteries and they said they watch that also. I asked them if they knew that it had once been called The Artful Detective. They had no idea so I came home and looked it up, and the new series is now coming through as The Artful Detective. I called my sister and she is very excited. just wish we could land a name… Read more »
I love this show, when I can’t watch it I record it, the stars are perfect they seem work so well together. Please concider another season ever though I haven’nt seen season 11 yet I’m looking forward.
It is the only reason I get Ovation. Lets hope they don’t do us wrong like in 2017 when they started off with an evening time slot only to switch it to 12 noon. Like we work people. I got to see episode 1 of season 11 and it was great. Search the internet and you might find it also.
I have especially enjoyed watching Detective Murdoc/Artful Detective so much that I started logging all the episodes. My first one was March 2, 2010 until an episode of January 24, 2008. If this is Season 11 starting in January 2018 then the series must have started in 2007. I haven’t seen any from 2007 and only one from 2008. I’d like to see what I have missed.
I have been anxiously awaiting the new season of Murdoch Mysteries/Artful Detective on Ovation/CBS and it has not made its appearance, what gives my friend in Bothell, Washington is now on episode 4 of season 11, why is it on being aired in the Houston area?
one of my favorite shows I will see Season 11 and any future seasons. I hope that it will more Season thank you so much, just love the show.
Love this show. So glad it is coming back
Just want to say it is one of my favorite shows and cannot wait for new season
I love this series and I’m anxiously awaiting the new series in January. Please keep up the good work thank you
This may or may not be good news. I love Murdoch Mysteries and was so happy when I found that new episodes could be seen in the U.S. on Ovation. And it was great at first, with episodes airing in prime time (or close to prime time) on a regular day of the week on a regular basis. But then Ovation appeared to lose interest in the series (or had a terrible contract to air the episodes, probably thanks to Acorn TV’s contract to stream them when or before Ovation was allowed) because new episodes were first airing Mondays at… Read more »
