‘Hudson & Rex’ Season 9 Episode 2 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch as Charlie and Rex Are Sent After a Blackout Killer
‘Hudson & Rex’ is back on Citytv, and the second outing of the new run drops fans straight into a murder mystery with a nasty twist. The episode is titled ‘Three’s a Crowd’, and it follows a woman who wakes from a drunken blackout covered in blood and carrying a murder weapon. The big question is whether she actually committed a killing she cannot remember.
The new episode arrives right on the heels of a premiere that has the fandom buzzing. The new chapter of the long running canine procedural carries plenty of goodwill and plenty of questions, so every episode of ‘Hudson & Rex’ now feels like it matters a little more.
‘Hudson & Rex’ Release Date for the Second Episode
Citytv’s schedule puts the premiere, ‘The Man in the Hoodie’, on October 5, with ‘Three’s a Crowd’ following on October 12. That makes the wait between episodes a simple one week.
Other guides line up with that date. Plex lists the episode for October 12, and Moviefone gives the same date. One tracker still showed the slot as to be announced, which fits the reality that episode guides are still filling in.
The weekly rollout should keep going through the fall. ‘End of the Line’ is next on October 19, followed by ‘Team Spirit’ on October 26. Citytv announced a twelve episode order, and one schedule currently runs through a November 23 episode called ‘Heebie Jeebies’.
What Time ‘Hudson & Rex’ Airs
For the premiere, the official show page told fans to tune in on Monday, October 5 at 9/8c on Citytv. That is the clearest time stamp available from the people who make the show.
Not every outlet agrees. One report said listings place the premiere at 8 p.m. on Citytv. A separate time for the second episode was not spelled out in the sources I found, so it is smart to double check your local Citytv listings before settling in.
The show’s official channels have also been pushing both options. Fans can catch the show on Citytv or stream it on Citytv+, which is handy for anyone who misses the live broadcast.
Where to Watch ‘Hudson & Rex’?
In Canada the answer is simple. Viewers can watch on Citytv or stream on Citytv+, and Citytv Plus carried the earlier seasons there.
Fans outside Canada may need some patience. Past seasons have reached Canadian viewers on Citytv Plus first, with other regions following later, and no international dates for the new episodes have surfaced yet.
American viewers can still catch up on earlier episodes. JustWatch lists Philo, Amazon Prime Video and The Roku Channel, which offers it free with ads. Moviefone also points to the UP Faith and Family channels on Apple TV and Amazon. Past reporting noted that UPtv carried previous seasons in the U.S., but a home for the new episodes has not been announced in the material I found.
Preview of the “Three’s a Crowd” Mystery
The official synopsis frames the case as a puzzle with the lead duo at its center. The reunited Charlie and Rex must determine whether the woman committed a killing she can’t remember. A blackout, a weapon and a missing memory make for a classic whodunit setup, and it fits the cozy but twisty tone this show is known for.
The word reunited carries real weight this year. The premiere teases the return of a familiar face after Donovan is nearly killed in a mysterious attack. John Reardon is once again leading as Detective Charlie Hudson, and he described himself as excited to step back into the role.
The backstory explains why fans cared so much. Reardon left midway through the seventh season to receive treatment for tonsil cancer, and Luke Roberts joined the cast as Detective Mark Hudson. Roberts is staying on, which means the squad room now has two Hudsons. When viewers last saw Charlie, he was heading to South America to search for his missing brother, Jack.
The supporting team is intact as well. Mayko Nguyen returns as Dr. Sarah Truong, Kevin Hanchard as Superintendent Joseph Donovan and Justin Kelly as Tech Analyst Jesse Mills. The weekly cases keep the series light on its feet, and upcoming episodes take the pair to a railway museum and the competitive world of elite gymnastics.
With Charlie back in the picture and Mark still on the squad, the blackout mystery in ‘Three’s a Crowd’ could be the first real test of how Rex handles two Hudsons at once, so which partner do you want him to trust when the case turns dangerous?
