How many episodes of Murdoch Mysteries are there?

By Alex Wiggan

In 2004, Except the Dying aired on television. The TV movie – based on the Detective Murdoch novel of the same name by Maureen Jennings – followed the story of William Murdoch, a crime-solving detective.

Except the Dying was a hit with viewers and was quickly followed by two further TV movies: Poor Tom is Cold and Under the Dragon’s Tail (also based on novels by Jennings). As with their predecessor, the movies focused on a detective at the turn of the 20^th Century, who employs the latest techniques and technological advancements to aid in his cases.

All three movies proved popular with audiences and in 2008 a decision was made to bring William Murdoch’s story back to television once more, but this time in the form of a series, aptly titled Murdoch Mysteries (aka The Artful Detective). The series continued the adventures of Murdoch, and soon built up a very loyal fanbase.

But if you’re new to Murdoch Mysteries and you’re only just getting into the series now, how many episodes of Murdoch Mysteries are there?

To date, there are 259 regular episodes of Murdoch Mysteries, in addition to three specials (the specials appear in seasons nine, ten, and eleven) and three television movies. There are also 59 webisodes.
