The 17th season of Murdoch Crimes debuted on October 02, 2023, and features William Murdoch continuing to solve crimes in Toronto and demonstrate his investigative abilities. Interesting character roles, compelling storyline progression, and intriguing investigations are all present in the seventeenth season.
Murdoch Mysteries Season 16 did not provide all the answers to the mysteries. They wanted the audience to be anticipating the next season with great anticipation. William was occupied with looking into the spearing death of a professional athlete. Arthur and Hart, on the other hand, went after the athlete’s father.
The final episode of Murdoch Mysteries Season 16 was titled “The Long Goodbye Part 2.” William was unable to accept Edward’s strategies. He consequently resigned from the Toronto Police Department. Following Mathilda Crisp’s disappearance, William is invited to help solve the mystery, but he declines.
After discovering the significant donation the Crisp estate made to the Women’s Clinic, William decides to look into the subject further. When he went to Mr Bently’s estate to thank him, he found thoughtful and creative comments that demonstrated how much more accomplished William was as a doctor and detective.
Season 17’s cast includes Dr Julia Ogden as Helene Joy, Lachlan Murdoch as Constable Henry Higgins, Giacomo Gianniotti as Leslie Garland, Shanice Banton as Violet Hart, Jonny Harris as Constable George Crabtree, and Yannick Bisson as Detective William Murdoch. Inspector Thomas Brackenreid is portrayed by Thomas Craig.
Recap
Like the previous seasons, Murdoch Mysteries Season 17 takes place in the late 1890s and early 1900s. In addition to his investigation abilities, William employs forensic methods like fingerprinting and ultraviolet lighting to locate the murderers at the start of the new century.
When Miss Hart accidentally spilt something in Watt’s water cup during the sixteenth season, George’s last name was still spelt erroneously, even after he was promoted to inspector. More advanced Murdochian gadgets were unveiled in the previous season, including a weaponized capacitor and a bolometer.
This week saw the release of the forty-four-minute first episode of Season 17. The inspector’s task is to locate Crabtree, Ogden, and William once they are abducted.
William and Ogden will debate whether a murderer ought to be imprisoned for rescuing their daughter in the second episode. To take matters into their own hands, they plan to abduct a socialite in the meantime.
The Mona Lisa is stolen in the third episode, and the thief is later killed. William encounters Emily Carr, an artist, while he tracks for the guilty. Because it’s a Canadian sitcom with a Canadian cast, fortunately, the seventeenth season of the show was unaffected by the SAG strike.
Inspector Crabtree’s first duty since being hired is to locate Murdoch and Ogden after they have been kidnapped. Murdoch and Ogden kidnap the socialite to prosecute her, but they are torn between protecting their daughter and exacting revenge on her killer.
Murdoch’s inquiry, which began after the accused Mona Lisa thief died, focuses on artist Emily Carr. Murdoch believes there is a connection between a prior case involving harlots sold into marriage and the stabbing of a man at an oyster bar.
After satisfying the psychopath James Gillies’ desire for a mechanical soothsayer, Ogden pays him a visit to a house of horrors. Odgen, Watts, and Effie go to a healing retreat led by a charismatic guru, during which one of the participants passes away unexplainably.
Murdoch looks into the deliberate murder of a champion horse that, just days before a major horse race, is expected to win. A party of teenage explorers whose leader was killed by a maniac is encountered by Effie, Louise, Hart, Ogden, and Effie in the woods.
