Garnering more than two dozen Gemini nominations and the sole 2016 'Fan's Choice Award' at the Canadian Screen Awards for Yannick Bisson,
Murdoch Mysteries has found a huge audience in North America for its period charm, entertaining mysteries, and likeable characters. Set in Toronto in the late 1890s and early 1900s during the age of invention, the mystery series centers on Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), a methodical and dashing detective, who enlists radical new forensic techniques like fingerprinting, ultraviolet light, and trace evidence to solve some of the city's most gruesome murders.
Smart and engaging, this award-winning Canadian series returns as Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) and his friends solve new mysteries in Edwardian-era Toronto. In Season 10, Dr. Julia Ogden (Gemini winner Hélène Joy) deals with post-traumatic stress from her near-death experience; Constable Crabtree (Jonny Harris) faces relationship problems; Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) gets caught up with a passion for soccer; and morgue attendant Rebecca James (Mouna Traoré) determinedly pursues her medical education.
As Murdoch and his team face murdered debutantes and cutthroat athletes amid historical events like the Great Toronto Fire of 1904, old enemies come back to haunt them. Along the way, they encounter some of the greatest minds of the time, including horror author H.P. Lovecraft and inventor Reginald Fessenden. Guest stars include Samantha Bond (
Downton Abbey), Ari Millen (
Orphan Black), Peter Keleghan (
The Red Green Show), and singer Alan Doyle.
Special features include a series of "Making Murdoch" featurettes, clocking in at 41 minutes.
