The sacred bond between man and dog is about to be forged in the cold, unyielding steel of a digital apocalypse. Hudson & Rex: Season 9 (2026) plunges the Major Crimes Unit into a terrifying new reality where the law is no longer a shield, but a target. When a phantom organization known as “The Shadow Protocol” begins a systematic neutralization of law enforcement across St. John’s—using weaponized surveillance and a rogue, self-evolving AI—Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) and Rex are stripped of their badges and forced into the shadows.
John Reardon delivers his most intense performance yet as a rugged, tactical Charlie Hudson. No longer confined by the bureaucracy of the precinct, he operates as a high-performance renegade. Dressed in sleek, state-of-the-art tactical gear that blends urban camouflage with high-fashion grit, Charlie has become a master of the “off-grid” lifestyle. But as the technology around them turns hostile, he must rely on the one thing a computer can never simulate: the primal, unbreakable instincts of his partner. Rex elevates his game to a near-mythical level, evolving into a four-legged phantom that haunts the urban ruins. With breathtaking speed and a predatory intelligence that outsmarts even the most advanced digital hunters, Rex proves that in a world of algorithms, a wolf’s heart is the ultimate disruptor.
The stakes turn electric with Dr. Sarah Truong (Mayko Nguyen). Shedding the sterile safety of her laboratory, Sarah emerges as a fierce, field-ready warrior. Draped in sleek tactical leather and armed with a lethal combination of cutting-edge forensics and hacking skills, she becomes the team’s secret weapon. She is the bridge between cold data and hot pursuit, navigating the digital minefields with a cold, calculated brilliance. Her connection with Charlie deepens under the suffocating pressure of the hunt, revealing a raw, seductive chemistry that proves trust is the only thing that doesn’t glitch when the world goes dark.
As Superintendent Donovan (Kevin Hanchard) and Jesse (Justin Kelly) wage a desperate war to reclaim their precinct from a total digital blackout, the action explodes across the breathtakingly rugged and treacherous landscapes of Newfoundland. From high-speed chases along jagged cliffs to bone-crunching combat in neon-lit rain, Season 9 is a high-octane masterclass in loyalty and survival. In 2026, the streets of St. John’s will learn a brutal lesson: you can hack a system, you can corrupt a network, but you can never, ever hack a heartbeat.
