has murdoch mysteries been cancelled
The series is a co-production between UKTV, CBC, ITV Studios Global Entertainment and Shaftesbury Films and stars Yannick Bisson, Thomas Craig, Helene Joy and Jonny Harris. The order for season 8, which, like season seven, has been set at 18 episodes, comes after Murdoch Mysteries has become a huge player for CBC. The series was initially commissioned for UKTV here in the UK and CityTV in Canada, airing its first five seasons on CityTV. The ratings on CitvTV had always been modest and ahead of the showâs fifth season the Canadian network announced the cancellation of Murdoch Mysteries. CBC then stepped in and ordered a sixth season, which pulled in strong ratings, promting the public broadcaster to order an 18 episode seventh season in April 2013.
