The series will air back to back episodes on Saturday nights. The season has a total of 18 brand new episodes, which will air over a span of nine weeks.
Ovation revealed more about the return of the series in a press release. Check that out below.
“Ovation, America’s only arts network, has announced the season 13 premiere date for long-running fan favorite Murdoch Mysteries. The drama series is set in Toronto in the late 1890s and early 1900s during the age of invention, where Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), the methodical detective, 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. Airing back to back episodes all season long, the 13th season premiere of Murdoch Mysteries will air on Ovation starting Saturday, February 1 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT.
Season 13 of the internationally acclaimed series continues to explore the personal and professional developments in the lives of Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy), Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), Constables George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Henry Higgins-Newsome (Lachlan Murdoch), and Detective Llewelyn Watts (Daniel Maslany) as they tackle Toronto’s toughest mysteries, from the serious and historic to the comical and unusual. This season also features the 200th episode of the series, which will air on Saturday, March 7th at 7pm ET / 4pm PT.
Murdoch continues his deft detective work and bolsters his investigations with new innovations including a “searchizer” device that measures facial features and matches them with existing police files. Unfortunately, he is still rattled by suspicions about Violet Hart’s (Shanice Banton) appointment to coroner and doesn’t completely trust her abilities or motives. The station also sees a new addition with Special Constable Robert Parker (Marc Senior), an African American former Pinkerton who went from suspect in a union murder to helping solve the case.
Murdoch Mysteries is based on Maureen Jennings’s popular Detective Murdoch series of novels and premiered in Canada in January 2008. 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. Murdoch Mysteries 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 IPF’s COGECO Television Production Fund, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, and Ontario Creates. Shaftesbury Sales Company and ITV STUDIOS Global Entertainment hold worldwide distribution rights for the series.”

Love this show because it’s different from the others, hope to see more of it
Absolutely, I love the show. In fact I watched the whole series on acorn.
Same with me. As a matter of fact, I subscribed to Acorn TV specifically for Murdoch Mysteries. It’s been more than well worth it for me.
I LOVE this show please keep showing it as long as it is on the air. Thank you Ovation for your wonderful programming.
YES. We love the Murdoch series and have been watching it since its start. Looking forward to the 2020 season. Thank you so much.
Wonderful show. I love period pieces and the costumes are fantastic. I can’t wait until February!
Ah, Bloody Hell I will! (LOL). Nov. 2015 my father found out had brain cancer; every 2 moths I would “switch taking care of him” with my older sister. While I was up in Washington state, I got HOOKED on “Murdoch Mysteries!” Sadly, my father passed away on Feb. 24th,. 2018. I live in California and I was pretty bummed out that I had been missing my “Murdoch Mysteries”…….UNTIL I found the Ovation Station air a few episodes, a few months back, (woo hoo)! Then by chance, I found seasons 1-12 on the interweb! (Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy)! I… Read more »
Love Murdoch and also Franny Frisher mysteries
Wondering why John brakenreid being charged with murder is dropped. Totally am a fan from the start so am puzzled by the lack of congruency
It was a two-part episode. Part two showed that it was his girlfriend who was the murderer- in fact she attempted to strangle John in his hospital bed.
Will hook onto watching it- Robin, hallmark mysteries weren’t the same when he left and Johny Harris- I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!! Thanks ovation
It’s about time for the new series!!!!! It sure took them long enough!!!
Yes, it’s a good show that also depicts the manners that most people no longer use in everyday life. Stephanie
This is such an interesting show, I will be watching .
Murdock is awesome I will definitely watch season 13. Have seasons 1 thru 12 on dvd.
