‘Hudson & Rex’ Season 9 Episode 2 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch the Blackout Killer Mystery

‘Hudson & Rex’ returns to Citytv, and the second episode of the season plunges fans into a gripping murder mystery with a shocking twist. Titled ‘Three’s a Crowd’, the episode centers on a woman who awakens from a drunken blackout, covered in blood and clutching a murder weapon. The central question remains: did she commit a murder she cannot recall?

This new episode follows a premiere that has left fans buzzing with excitement. The latest chapter of this long-running canine procedural carries significant weight, making each episode of ‘Hudson & Rex’ feel more crucial than ever.

Citytv’s schedule indicates that the premiere, ‘The Man in the Hoodie’, aired on October 5, with ‘Three’s a Crowd’ set to follow on October 12. This means viewers only have to wait one week between episodes.

Other sources confirm this date, with Plex and Moviefone both listing the episode for October 12. However, one tracker still shows the slot as to be announced, reflecting the ongoing updates in episode guides.

The weekly release is expected to continue throughout the fall. Following ‘Three’s a Crowd’, the next episode, ‘End of the Line’, is scheduled for October 19, with ‘Team Spirit’ airing on October 26. Citytv has announced a twelve-episode order, with a current schedule extending through to a November 23 episode titled ‘Heebie Jeebies’.

For the premiere, fans were advised to tune in on Monday, October 5, at 9/8c on Citytv, according to the official show page. However, there are discrepancies, as some reports suggest the premiere was at 8 p.m. The exact air time for the second episode has not been clearly stated, so it’s wise to check local Citytv listings before watching.

Viewers can catch the show on Citytv or stream it on Citytv+, which is convenient for those who miss the live broadcast.

In Canada, the viewing options are straightforward. Fans can watch on Citytv or stream on Citytv+, which also carries earlier seasons. For viewers outside Canada, patience may be required. Previous seasons have typically reached Canadian audiences on Citytv Plus first, with other regions following later, and no international release dates for the new episodes have been announced yet.

American viewers can still catch up on earlier episodes. JustWatch lists platforms like Philo, Amazon Prime Video, and The Roku Channel, which offers the show free with ads. Moviefone also mentions UP Faith and Family channels on Apple TV and Amazon. While UPtv previously aired earlier seasons in the U.S., a home for the new episodes has yet to be confirmed.

The official synopsis presents the case as a classic whodunit, with Charlie and Rex at the forefront. They must unravel whether the woman committed a murder she cannot remember, setting the stage for a compelling mystery that aligns with the show’s cozy yet twisty tone.

The term reunited carries significant meaning this season. The premiere hints at the return of a familiar face after Donovan is nearly killed in a mysterious attack. John Reardon reprises his role as Detective Charlie Hudson, expressing his excitement to return to the character.

This backstory explains why fans are so invested. Reardon left midway through season seven for treatment for tonsil cancer, with Luke Roberts stepping in as Detective Mark Hudson. Roberts remains on the show, resulting in two Hudsons in the squad room. The last time viewers saw Charlie, he was heading to South America in search of his missing brother, Jack.

The supporting cast is also back, with Mayko Nguyen as Dr. Sarah Truong, Kevin Hanchard as Superintendent Joseph Donovan, and Justin Kelly as Tech Analyst Jesse Mills. The series maintains a lighthearted tone through its weekly cases, with upcoming episodes taking the duo to a railway museum and the competitive world of elite gymnastics.

With Charlie back and Mark still on the team, the blackout mystery in ‘Three’s a Crowd’ may be the first real challenge for Rex as he navigates working with two Hudsons. Which partner will he trust when the case turns perilous?
