About Murdoch Mysteries Series 9

Starring Yannick Bisson as Detective William Murdoch, the show tells the story of the titular Murdoch, a man who's leading the charge for new, scientific methods of police work in the city of Toronto.

Murdoch visits George Crabtree in jail.

Murdoch visits George Crabtree in jail.

At his side are his wife, Dr Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy), Constable George Crabtree (Jonny Harris), Dr Emily Grace (Georgina Reilly) and Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) as they all try and get to grips with the young 20th century and times of change.

By the end of the eighth series, Crabtree was locked up and charged with the death of his sweetheart Edna's abusive husband after an emotional and harrowing battle. George's bloody boots and his refusal to speak has placed him firmly behind bars and put his detective's job in question.

That wasn't the only cliffhanger - Lillian Moss (Sara Mitich) asked Dr Emily Grace (Georgina Reilly) to move to London with her so that the two could continue their support of the Suffragette Movement in England. Emily had not made a decision - will she leave her life in Toronto behind?
