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.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Murdoch Mysteries? Will you watch the new season?
Murdock mysteries is one of the best shows ever. Not to re new would be a shame. The newer shows cannot even hold your interest. Looking forward to series 14 and more!! Love this show!!’
We love the show. Have watched all seasons. Keep up the good work
I love the program and the stars my wife and IAAF have it as many times as possible
Murdock Mysteries is clever and entertaining. I’m so glad the season 13 arrived. It is a class show with good characters, interesting plots and nice nods to historical figures/events/fads.
Please keep Murdock Mysteries episodes coming.
The last episode of the program with the aliens has taken the program from the delightfully implausible to complete rubbish. What on earth mad the script writers leap into complete fantasy? I probably won’t watch any more.
Definitely will and have thru #9. Are there more? It’s such a cliff-hanger thought it might be done. We’re in the US.
Murdoch Mysteries is my favorite TV SHOW
I’m 60 that’s saying a lot. I’m also American thank God for Prime and Acorn TV. I recommend this show to everyone I know! I never tire of watching it.
The Season 13 premiere has not yet shown on Ovation on ATT U-verse, three days after scheduled!
One of the very best tv shows available….Great family viewing
I love Murdoch Mysteries! The characters, setting, and plots are absolutely the best! The way the plots partner Science, Imagination, and Practical thinking to connect the past with the present is so unique. These great stories transport its’ fans to another time period and place filled with romance and mystery! I’m looking forward to the new season. However, I’m disappointed that I can’t seem to locate the 2020 Premier for Feb 1st on the Ovation Channel.
Same problem here!
Our totally favorite series!!
Please do a season 14 also!
I’ve loved the series. I’ve been waiting for the new season. Now I know I should watch on Feb 1 at 7PM but I don’t know what channel to watch.
I love the Murdoch series.
I cannot wait for the full season 13! I’ve already been able to see the first four episodes, so far, as I subscribe to Acorn TV. I reside in the US and love both Murdoch Mysteries and Acorn TV!! I had never watched the series prior to December, 2019, but somehow came across it that month. I began with S01, Ep01 and became so crazily consumed by the show as I continued to watch more and more. Just days ago I had already finished each and every single episode, up through the fourth one of this new season 13. As… Read more »
You can watch it on CBC for free every Monday.
Great fan of all things Murdock and Ogden! Thank you for giving us another season of mystery.
