On March 13th, 2016 Yannick Bisson confirmed CBC had renewed Murdoch Mysteries for a tenth season at the Canadian Screen Awards during his acceptance speech of his fan choice award.
On May 24, filming began for Season 10, beginning with the episode A Study In Pink.
On June 8, CNW announces: " Coming off its highest-rated season yet on CBC as the country's top-rated homegrown scripted program for the 2015/16 television season and marking 150 episodes in Season 10, the series will continue to follow Detective Murdoch, Station No. 4 and the City Morgue as they solve crimes inspired by Canadian history and featuring international celebrities of the early 20th century."
New guest cast appearing in early episodes will include Samantha Bond (Downton Abbey), Daniel Maslany (Four in the Morning), and Bea Santos (World Away).
Season 10 will film on location in Ontario until December 2016 and premiere on CBC this fall, followed by international rollout early in 2017.
Season 10 kicks off in grand style with a two-part mystery set in the world of Toronto debutantes vying for the hand of Toronto’s most eligible bachelor (think The Bachelor in 1904!)— and there is a killer on the loose, along with city-wide chaos set off by the 1904 Great Fire of Toronto, one of the seminal events in the city's history.
Watch for Season 9 “set-ups” continue in Season 10 story lines: Rebecca at medical school and a bit more will be revealed about her. The exploration of Crabtree and his new girl and how can she possibly fit into his world? Will William and Julia adopt again? Who will be the next Chief Constable?
