MURDOCH MYSTERIES, Season 11, Episode 1 (Season Premiere, Exclusive U.S. Premiere)

Acorn TV's hit period mystery series returns. Garnering more than two dozen Gemini(R) 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. Inspired by Maureen Jennings' novels, Murdoch Mysteries airs on the CBC in Canada and in the U.S. after Acorn TV as The Artful Detective on Ovation. In the opening episode, a jailed Murdoch must prove his innocence amid police and government corruption after the constables are ambushed, Ogden is kidnapped, and Brackenreid goes missing.
