Murdoch Mysteries Online Companion Series in the Works

TORONTO: Shaftesbury has partnered with the Ontario government for Making Murdoch, a 20-part online series that features a look at the making of Murdoch Mysteries.

The companion series is being shot on location in Ontario, with a special focus on the sites and stories of the province. Making Murdoch is available on the CBC YouTube channel and at cbc.ca. Making Murdoch has also been shared with Murdoch Mysteries’ international distribution and broadcast partners in 110 countries worldwide.

Michael Coteau, Ontario's minister of tourism, culture and sport, said: “Over eight seasons, Murdoch Mysteries has featured some of Ontario’s most recognizable tourism destinations, like Victoria Park Square in Brantford, Parkwood Estate in Oshawa or the historic mining town of Cobalt. Making Murdoch is a wonderful opportunity for viewers to learn more about these important landmarks, while also showcasing Ontario as a great place to visit.”

Christina Jennings, the chairman and CEO of Shaftesbury, Smokebomb Entertainment and shift2, commented: “Each week, Murdoch Mysteries brings the province of Ontario to millions of viewers across Canada and around the world. Ontario’s breathtaking vistas, historic sites and story gems are what make this series a success. We’re thrilled to partner with the Ontario government in showcasing our province as a coveted destination in Making Murdoch, to ensure that what Ontario has to offer is not a mystery.”
