‘Hudson & Rex’ Season 9 Episode 5 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next chapter of ‘Hudson & Rex’ arrives on Monday, November 2, 2026, with an installment titled “Cleaning House.” The episode is listed with a first air date of November 2, 2026 on Citytv and a runtime of 43 minutes. It lands during a stretch of the Canadian procedural that has put original star John Reardon back in the lead role.
For viewers trying to plan their week, this guide covers the release date, broadcast time, streaming options and story setup for the latest ‘Hudson & Rex’ episode. The details below are drawn from network listings, episode guides and recent coverage of the series.
Release Date and Broadcast Time for ‘Hudson & Rex’
Reelgood’s guide lists “Cleaning House” with a premiere date of November 2, 2026. The episode before it, “Team Spirit,” is scheduled for Monday, October 26, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time on Citytv.
The season opened on Monday, October 5, with listings placing the first episode at 8 p.m. Both that opener and the previous episode sit in a Monday evening slot at 8 p.m. Eastern, which points to the same time for this installment. Viewers should still confirm local listings closer to the date.
The season has 12 episodes, with the first eight airing before a break partway through the run. That places “Cleaning House” in the back half of the opening block, with only three episodes left after it before the pause.
Where to Watch the Latest ‘Hudson & Rex’ Episode
In Canada, fans can watch the episode live on television through Citytv or stream it on demand through the official Citytv website. Citytv also promoted the season premiere as available to stream on Citytv+.
American viewers face a longer wait. Reelgood reports that the new season will stream on UP Faith & Family after it concludes on Citytv, and previous seasons are already available on that service.
The series is produced by Shaftesbury and Pope Productions Ltd., in association with Citytv and Beta Film. It is filmed across the streets and coastal cliffs of St. John’s, Newfoundland, and has grown into a global hit since premiering in 2019.
Preview of the Story in ‘Cleaning House’
Plex describes the case this way. When an elderly hoarder is murdered in her cluttered home, Charlie and Rex discover that the hidden fortune she left behind may have been worth killing for. Another guide frames it as an investigation into whether a hidden fortune inside the woman’s home provided the motive.
The premise leans on the formula that defines the series. Plex calls it an action packed, hour long police procedural built around the partnership between a detective and Rex, a former K9, where Charlie’s detective work meets Rex’s keen canine senses. A cluttered home full of potential evidence gives that pairing plenty to work with.
The preceding episode sets a different tone. “Team Spirit” sends Charlie and Rex into the competitive world of elite gymnastics to find out who wants a competitor out of the running. That episode also continues to explore Charlie’s reintegration alongside the forensic pathologist.
What the Season Has Set Up and What Comes Next
Reardon left midway through the seventh season to receive treatment for tonsil cancer, and Luke Roberts joined the cast to fill the lead role. In a statement reported by TV Insider, Reardon said he was “excited to step back into the role of Charlie.”
Charlie and Mark Hudson now share the same station house, with Rex caught between a returning partner and the newer one. Roberts joined in the eighth season as Rex’s new human partner, a veteran of canine units in the Canadian forces and the Halifax police department.
The schedule after this episode stays busy. “Big Cheese” follows on November 9 and has Charlie and Rex investigating a murder connected to a halfway house. “Blowin a Gale” brings the death of a wind energy company CEO in her own laboratory. “Heebie Jeebies” is listed for November 23 as the last episode before the break.
With a hidden fortune at the center of “Cleaning House,” the real puzzle may be who knew what was tucked away inside that cluttered home, so tell us in the comments whether you think the killer was someone close to the victim or an outsider who knew exactly where to look.
