Fans of the hit show “Murdoch Mysteries” on CBC will be happy to know that season 7 premieres at the end of the month,
In this season, Detective Murdoch (played by Yannick Bisson) continues to unravel the city’s most devious murder mysteries all while elevating his romance with Dr. Julia Ogden (Helene Joy) to new heights. Murdoch Ahoy, Murdoch and his team find themselves aboard a state-of-the-art steamship for its maiden voyage at the request of ship-owner Clarence MacFarlane. Worried about jealous competitors and wild anarchists, MacFarlane wants to ensure his guests are safe, but their smooth sailing hits the rocks when MacFarlane’s daughter goes missing and it’s suspected she has gone overboard. The investigation turns chaotic and precarious as Murdoch finds himself unscrambling myriad lies and unexpected dangers on the ship.
Murdoch Ahoy was filmed aboard the only remaining Edwardian passenger steamship in the world, the S.S. Keewatin, which is now moored in Port McNicoll, Ontario. Built five years before the RMS Titanic, the S.S. Keewatin utilizes similar machinery, including a quadruple-expansion steam engine and Scotch boilers.
In season seven, Detective Murdoch crosses paths with famous figures, including Thomas Edison and Guglielmo Marconi, against a backdrop of historical events including the assassination of American President William McKinley and the death of Queen Victoria. Murdoch and his team investigate some of their most challenging cases to date as they probe an apparent zombie invasion, encounter the early days of “talkies” and the motion picture industry, and explore the dangerous underbelly of competitive sports.
The new season of “Murdoch Mysteries” starts on September 30th at 8pm.
