No, Murdoch Mysteries is leaving Hulu in May. Currently, there are 13 seasons available to watch on the streaming platform.

It is a popular Canadian television drama series based on characters from the Detective Murdoch novels authored by Maureen Jennings. The series premiered on Citytv on January 20, 2008.

Murdoch Mysteries stars Yannick Bisson as a police detective William Murdoch working in Toronto in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Helene Joy, Thomas Craig, Jonny Harris, Lachlan Murdoch, Shanice Banton, and Daniel Maslany also star in the series. It is created by Jennings, Cal Coons, and Alexandra Zarowny.

The series follows William as he uses radical forensic techniques, including trace evidence and fingerprinting, to solve some of the most gruesome murders.

The awaited Season 16 of the series returned with more drama on September 12, 2022, on CBS. The season has 24 episodes, including a two-part finale. The last episode aired on April 10, 2023.


Is Murdoch Mysteries Leaving Hulu?

No, Murdoch Mysteries is leaving Hulu on May 1, 2023. It is available on streaming services such as AcornTV, Amazon Channel, and Hoopla.

Hulu has only included 13 seasons of the Canadian drama on its lineup, which already has an expiration badge. And it's always good to prioritize the titles you know will leave the service soon.

Considering the same, the platform lets its user know when episodes will be leaving in the next two weeks. Expiring tags indicate how many days are left to watch before the expiration date.

However, in some cases, content on Hulu expires but keeps existing there, and that what happened with Murdoch Mysteries.

The matter has had fans concerned with many expressing their views and thoughts on various social media platforms. A Twitter user wrote, "@HULU ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CANCELLING MURDOCH MYSTERIES??"

The user further said she will be canceling Hulu and getting a VPN -quite furious.

Another worried fan said, "They're taking Murdoch Mysteries off @hulu???? Noooo I'm only on season 9. Why would they do that to me," added with a loudly crying face emoji.

A separate individual shared he has been binging the series for months on Hulu but it has only 13 seasons available. Adding more to his sorrow, all seasons will be soon dropping off of the service.

Hulu's support team confirmed the departure of the series on Twitter by replying to the fans tweets. However, it looks like they decided to keep the show.

Viewers say the series is mostly predictable but they find it entertaining at the same time. "Murdoch Mysteries, on hulu .. its interesting and set in the early 1900s," tweeted a fan.

Even those people who have never known about it and randomly found it on Hulu are addicted to it. Many of them have made a routine of watching a few episodes of the drama every night before going to bed.

It has generally received positive reviews from viewers and has gained a high IMDb rating of 8.2 stars out of 10.

It is a fine series with a thoughtful and charming lead. The series presents the best of the detective who pioneers innovative and unique forensic techniques to solve some of the city's most terrible crimes.

What Is Leaving Hulu in April 2023?

May is drawing near, which suggests a reshuffle in the catalogs of all the streaming services and Hulu is no exception.

Hulu offers one of the best streaming lineups between its selections of original movies and shows, films and series from other studios, and the extended library of 20th Century Studios.

And while there is always something new on the platform every month, Hulu is not immune from the monthly churn of streaming.

Exciting films and TV shows come and go every month. But that doesn't mean viewers have to let it depart without catching their favorite before they finally bid goodbye.

For this, streaming platforms, such as Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, and Paramount Plus, add an expiration tag on the content and many other trusted sites even provide a full list of titles leaving the service.

From the action drama, The Last Duel to the sports documentary Venus and Serena all are departing from Hulu. And while some of the leaving titles may probably return, others may be gone for a while.

Other notable titles leaving the service include Neil Cross' psychological crime thriller, Luther and Nell Scovell's television sitcom Sabrina The Teenage Witch.
