Synopsis

Murdoch Mysteries is a one-hour period drama set in Toronto in the early 1900s during the age of invention, where methodical Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) 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. Murdoch's associates include his gruff boss Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), Constables George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Henry Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch), eccentric Detective Llewellyn Watts (Daniel Maslany), and Chief Coroner Violet Hart (Shanice Banton). All are valuable allies helping Murdoch solve cases across the many stratums and evolving manners of Edwardian society.
