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.”

What do you think? Have you seen The Artful Detective? Will you watch the new season?
I totally love the program and I am so exited that it it will be back for a season 11 and hope that it continues for 12, 13, 14 and on….
The actors are so genuine and down to earth and that is what makes the show so great. The stories keep your interest and always have an interesting twist. Keep up the excellent writing and acting and you will keep your fans watching.
Love this show. Impatiently waiting for season 11
I have enjoyed this series so much! I look forward to each new season. The cast is perfectly suited and work so well together… I will never get enough of the show 🙂
Thank goodness! We watch them over and over and can’t wait for season 11. We wish it would go on forever!
I’m enthralled with the characters on the series. Will be waiting for Season 11.
love the show so glad to have another season
My husband and I love this show and are anxiously awaiting answers to the season 10 cliffhanger! The relationships among the characters is refreshing and, at times, very touching. George Crabtree never ceases to make us smile. Show writers cleverly weave historical figures and events into episodes in a believable and entertaining manner. The recreations and depictions of turn of the century Toronto, costumes, vehicles, etc., are, in a word, artful.
You bet!
I love the show and the characters are amazing. Can’t wait for it to come on Ovation again. Thank you for bringing it back!
Can’t wait for Season 11 and Kudos to Ovation for bringing us this wonderful series! Absolutely a fan favorite in our house.
I adore this show, from the actors (and guest stars), to the steampunkish feel, and the tongue-in-cheek jabs and winks at modern technology. And it has perfected the balance between drama and humour, something too many shows today fail to do. It is entertainment at its very best!
Love this show! Watch taped shows over and over.
Helene Joy is easy on the eyes
I can’t wait for its return. One of my favorite shows
Love this show. We get together with neighbors every Saturday night and try to solve the mystery. Please continue to air this show.
