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?
Really get a kick of all the historical facts and people they sneak in. It’s such a great cast.
Awaiting season 12, missed 1st one 2/10/18, & Ovaton doesn’t
Have on demand. Where can I see it?
Murdoch mystery is one of the greatest clean detective shows on t.v. Thanks for making it available
Love the show. Was very disappointed when season 11 was not going to be shown in the US, and all of a sudden it appeared in my recordings!
Already have seen Eps 1 and can’t wait for all the rest to follow!!
Upset Jackson killed off…?why?
Found the show again by channel surfing and was thrilled. I thought it had been taken off the air. Love The Artful Detective. I’ve been watching it for years.
I have been waiting for season 11 to be added to ovation schedule. Is Ovation carrying season 11? When is the season for artful detective beginning? In the USA on Ovation I have been watching season 10 awaiting for season 11 to start.
First show of season 11 on now and it has Graham calling them fingerprints. Since when did they change over from fingermarks? Also, 10:00 o’clock Saturday night …. really?
We own every available DVD as “The Murdoch Mysteries” and paid a great deal more with our cable provider to get Ovation. I pray too it stays on in the evening. It is a great show and if I could get the Acorn subscription, I would. As I live in the USA I must be content with their offering. Please keep it onat a reasonable hour in the evening!
I was so excited when I saw that Artful was returning for another season. Love the show and its references to real life characters!
As of last night, Season 11 was NOT broadcasting on Ovation…any idea when it will actually air??
I wouldn’t miss it for anything!
I love this show and its wry sense of humor. Love Johnny and how his character has grown over the years. I agree that it’s one of the reasons I get Ovation and I hope they do not bury this show in an odd time slot.
Have been watching every show. so clever. Love the inclusion of historical events and figures.
Why is the Artful Detective season 11 not showing in the Raleigh area? The Tuesday morning reruns are trying my patience with Ovation…LCJ Apex, NC
