‘Hudson & Rex’ Season 9 Episode 6 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

The sixth episode of the ninth season of ‘Hudson & Rex’ is titled “Big Cheese,” and it is scheduled to premiere on November 9, 2026. It is one of the last installments before the show takes a break partway through its run, which gives this case a little extra weight on the schedule.

The Canadian crime drama has settled into a steady weekly pattern, and new episodes air on Monday nights on Citytv. This guide covers the broadcast details, the streaming options and what viewers can expect from the story ahead of the next ‘Hudson & Rex’ episode.

Release Date and Air Time for the Next Episode

The season has twelve episodes in total, with the first eight airing before the mid season break. That places “Big Cheese” as the sixth of those eight, and the final episode before the pause, “Heebie Jeebies,” is listed for November 23.

The exact air time is where listings begin to disagree. One guide placed the season premiere at 9 p.m. ET, and another outlet described the regular primetime slot as 9:00 p.m. ET/PT for a recent episode. A third guide pointed to an 8 p.m. Eastern slot for the Monday episodes.

Given those differences, the safest approach is to check a local Citytv schedule before settling in. That same guide advised viewers to confirm local listings closer to the date, and another outlet noted that listings had shown a one day difference for an earlier episode.

Where to Watch ‘Hudson & Rex’ Online

For viewers in Canada, the options are straightforward. Episodes air on Citytv and are also available to stream on Citytv+ and through the Citytv+ Prime Video Channel. Fans can also stream on demand through the official Citytv website.

American viewers will need to wait a little longer. Previous seasons are available on UP Faith & Family, and the new season is expected to stream there after it concludes on Citytv. That means a weekly viewing habit is tied to the Canadian broadcast for now.

The picture is similar in Australia. The previous eight seasons are available free on SBS On Demand, and the ninth season will follow once its Citytv run ends. Viewers outside these regions should check their local streaming listings for availability.

What to Expect From the ‘Big Cheese’ Preview

The official summary promises one of the stranger cases of the season. Charlie and Rex investigate a murder connected to a halfway house and uncover an unusual criminal operation involving gourmet cheese. The setup suggests a lighter tone than some earlier cases, though a murder remains at the center of it.

The episode follows a run of varied mysteries. “Cleaning House,” airing November 2, centers on an elderly woman’s murder and whether a hidden fortune in her home was the motive. “Blowin a Gale,” set for November 16, follows the death of a wind energy company CEO and a possible second target.

That variety is central to how the series works. One listing describes it as an hour long police procedural built around a detective and a former K9 whose senses complement his investigative work. A story involving a halfway house and a hidden criminal enterprise gives Rex plenty of room to contribute.

Charlie’s Return and the Season Nine Cast

The ninth season is notable for the return of its original lead. Citytv announced in May that John Reardon would return as Detective Charlie Hudson for a new twelve episode season. In a statement released through Rogers Sports & Media, Reardon said he was “excited to step back into the role of Charlie.”

The supporting cast includes Mayko Nguyen, Kevin Hanchard, Justin Kelly and Luke Roberts, while the dogs Dillon and Dante share the role of Rex. Charlie comes back to St. John’s after leaving to search for his missing brother, which puts Rex in a difficult position after his time with Mark Hudson.

The return follows a turbulent stretch for the show. Reardon’s exit and replacement drew strong backlash before the network reversed course, so this season arrives with considerable goodwill from the audience. With Charlie back in the squad room and a case as offbeat as “Big Cheese” on the way, tell us in the comments whether a story built around a halfway house and gourmet cheese is the right kind of change of pace for Charlie and Rex.
