‘Hudson & Rex’ Season 9 Episode 3 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next ‘Hudson & Rex’ episode is titled “End of the Line,” and it is set to premiere on October 19, 2026. The Canadian crime drama is now several weeks into a new run, and viewers who want to plan their Monday night viewing have a few details to keep track of.
This guide to the latest ‘Hudson & Rex’ episode covers when it arrives, how to stream it, and what the story involves. It also looks at the cast and the story context that shapes the new run, since the series has gone through notable changes behind its lead role.
‘Hudson & Rex’ Release Date and Time on Citytv
The third episode of the season is listed for October 19, according to the episode schedule published by Reelgood. Moviefone’s episode guide gives the same date for “End of the Line.” A German listing site also places the broadcast on the same day, which suggests the schedule is consistent across guides.
The season follows a weekly pattern. The episodes air on Mondays, and the season totals 12 episodes, with the first eight airing before a mid-season break. The run opened on October 5 with “The Man in the Hoodie,” followed by “Three’s a Crowd” on October 12.
As for the time, listings placed the season opener at 8 p.m. That is the best guide available for the Monday slot, though Comic Basics notes that episode guides were still filling in. Viewers should confirm the exact start time with their local Citytv listings before settling in.
Where to Watch ‘Hudson & Rex’ in Canada and Abroad
In Canada, the simplest option is live television. The new episodes air on Citytv on Monday nights, and viewers can also stream on Citytv+. The streaming service has also carried earlier seasons of the show.
Reelgood notes that Citytv+ offers a seven day free trial, which gives newcomers a low cost way to catch up. This matters for anyone who missed the opening episodes and wants to see how the season has unfolded so far.
Viewers outside Canada have fewer direct options. Reelgood advises using a reliable VPN connected to a Canadian server to watch on Citytv+. In the United States, earlier seasons are available on UP Faith & Family, and the new season is expected to stream there after it wraps up on Citytv.
Preview of ‘End of the Line’ and the Case Ahead
The story centers on a murder tied to the rails. A railway enthusiast is killed on a train track, and Charlie and Rex uncover a scheme that threatens to decommission his beloved railway museum. Reelgood describes the scheme as connected to the possible closure of the museum, which gives the case a motive that goes beyond a single act of violence.
The setting was flagged ahead of time. Comic Basics reported that upcoming episodes would take the pair to a railway museum and into the competitive world of elite gymnastics. That gives the stretch before the break a varied mix of locations and suspects.
The preceding episode set a different tone. “Three’s a Crowd” followed a woman who wakes from a blackout covered in blood and carrying a possible murder weapon. Comic Basics says the weekly cases keep the series light on its feet, and the museum mystery appears to continue that approach. “Team Spirit” is next in line on October 26.
Cast and Story Context Behind the New Season
The ensemble is largely familiar. John Reardon returns as Charlie Hudson, joined by Mayko Nguyen as Dr. Sarah Truong, Kevin Hanchard as Superintendent Joseph Donovan, Justin Kelly as Jesse Mills and Luke Roberts as Detective Mark Hudson. The series was created by Ken Cuperus and is based on the Austrian-Italian series ‘Kommissar Rex’.
The premise of the new run rests on Charlie’s comeback. He returns to St. John’s after leaving to search for his missing brother, and he brings unfinished business from Belize with him. His return puts Rex in a difficult position after the dog worked with Mark Hudson.
The backstory explains why that tension matters. Reardon left midway through the seventh season to receive treatment for tonsil cancer, and Roberts joined as Mark Hudson. That exit and replacement drew strong backlash before the network reversed course. With Roberts staying on, the squad room now has two Hudsons, so does the railway museum case give Charlie the stronger claim on Rex, or does Mark earn a place beside him?
