‘Hudson & Rex’ Season 9 Episode 7 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next installment of the Canadian police procedural is titled “Blowin a Gale.” It is scheduled to premiere on November 16, 2026. The episode arrives one week after “Big Cheese,” which was set to air on November 9.
For viewers tracking the ‘Hudson & Rex’ release date, the details are fairly settled, although local listings can shift. This guide covers when the episode airs, how long it runs, where to stream it and what the story is expected to involve. Each point comes from schedules and episode guides published ahead of the broadcast.
‘Hudson & Rex’ Release Date and Episode Schedule
“Blowin a Gale” is the seventh entry of the current run, and Wikipedia’s episode table lists the directing and writing credits as still to be announced. One schedule tracker places the broadcast on November 16, matching the other guides. A separate tracker shows the early hours of November 17, which likely reflects how its listing is displayed rather than a change in plans, so it is worth confirming against local listings.
The season has 12 episodes in total, and the first eight air before a midseason break. That means the coming episode sits inside an uninterrupted stretch of weekly broadcasts. The eighth episode, “Heebie Jeebies,” follows on November 23.
The run has moved at a steady Monday pace since it opened. The season began on October 5 with “The Man in the Hoodie,” followed by new episodes on October 12, October 19, October 26, November 2 and November 9. The weekly rhythm gives the series a predictable place on the schedule, which suits a procedural built around self-contained cases.
Air Time and Broadcast Details for the New Episode
Recent episode guides give a good picture of the usual slot. The previous episode was set for 9 p.m. Eastern on Citytv. An earlier guide described the same primetime window as 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific.
Viewers in Newfoundland get a slightly different schedule. The local cable broadcast in that region runs at 9:30 p.m. Newfoundland time, half an hour later than the Eastern slot. Anyone outside the main Canadian time zones should check their own provider before settling in.
Each installment runs about 44 minutes. That leaves room for the investigation, the suspect interviews and the usual canine detective work without feeling stretched. One guide also advises viewers to confirm local listings closer to the date, and notes that listings once showed a one day difference for an earlier episode.
Where to Watch ‘Hudson & Rex’ Online
The first stop for Canadian viewers is the home network. The official site says episodes can be caught on Citytv, or streamed on Citytv+. The network’s own promotion also pointed viewers to Citytv+ for streaming the season.
American viewers have a longer wait. Earlier seasons are available in the United States on UP Faith and Family, and the new season will stream there only after it concludes on Citytv. That means new episodes will not appear on the US service in real time.
Several services carry the series. Listings name the UP Faith and Family Amazon Channel, Philo, the UP Faith and Family Apple TV channel and The Roku Channel, with the Roku option offering streaming with ads. Another listing also points to a Roku option that is free with ads.
Availability can differ between seasons and regions, so the catalogue should be checked on whichever platform a viewer prefers. The newest episodes are the ones most likely to be limited to the broadcaster and its own app.
Preview of the Story in “Blowin a Gale”
The case at the center of the episode begins with a death in the corporate world. The chief executive of a wind energy company dies, which leads Charlie and Rex to professional rivalries and to another person who could still be in danger. The setup points to a whodunit with a ticking clock, a familiar structure for the series.
The central partnership is the anchor of the season. The current run brought original star John Reardon back as Detective Charlie Hudson. Luke Roberts also continues as Detective Mark Hudson, keeping the expanded investigative team from the previous season.
That mix of old and new faces gives the show room to balance case work with character moments. Wikipedia lists Ken Cuperus as showrunner and credits the cast as including Mayko Nguyen, Kevin Hanchard, Justin Kelly and Diesel vom Burgimwald alongside Reardon and Roberts. The ensemble gives each case more than one point of view.
Looking ahead, the following episode finds human remains beneath a horror novelist’s home, with strange attacks and someone secretly living inside the house. That sets up a very different tone for the final episode before the break. If the wind energy case ends with another victim saved, does Charlie and Rex’s return to form make this the strongest stretch of the season so far, and which suspect would you pick before the reveal?
