‘Murdoch Mysteries’ Sets Season 19 U.S. Premiere Date — Watch Promo (VIDEO)
More Murdoch Mysteries is coming to the U.S. sooner than you might think.
Ovation TV has set the U.S. premiere of Murdoch Mysteries Season 19, TV Insider has learned exclusively. It will debut on Monday, October 6, at 8/7c. Watch the intriguing promo above for a look at the season as well as Luann de Lesseps back in the premiere episode.
Murdoch Mysteries, set in Toronto in the early 1900s during the age of invention, follows Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) as he uses radical forensic techniques to solve some of the city’s most gruesome murders.
According to the official description of Season 19, it “dazzles with a host of confounding mysteries, surprising guest stars and the wit that makes the show so beloved. Cases include the murder of a fashion mogul that everyone had reason to kill; a politically charged kidnapping of a Japanese scholar; Murdoch participates in a game show that turns lethal; wild animal attacks in High Park; and a dangerous stand-off when customers are taken hostage at a roadside inn. Stories this season bring Murdoch and Brackenreid to the very first Stampede in Calgary and another mystery has them fighting spies atop a speeding train to the nation’s capital.”
