John Reardon, Mayko Nguyen, Kevin Hanchard, Justin Kelly, and Rex
The badge is off. The leash is gone. Hudson & Rex Season 9: Shadow Protocol shatters the rules of engagement, forcing Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) and his elite K9 partner, Rex, to go rogue in their most volatile and heart-pounding chapter yet.
Framed for a high-level crime they didn’t commit, the dynamic duo is stripped of their rank, branded as public enemies, and hunted by the very system they swore to protect. John Reardon delivers a gritty, desperate performance as a man with nothing left to lose but his dog, forced to trade police procedure for guerrilla tactics. Rex, untethered from protocol, operates purely on instinct and primal loyalty, becoming a silent guardian in the shadows and executing takedowns with a protective ferocity never before seen on screen.
While the city closes in, the team fractures to survive. Superintendent Donovan (Kevin Hanchard) fights a dangerous political war within the precinct to clear their names, walking a razor’s edge between duty and treason. Meanwhile, Sarah Truong (Mayko Nguyen) and Jesse Mills (Justin Kelly) go dark, operating a covert underground cell to supply the fugitives with unauthorized intel and bleeding-edge tech, risking their own careers and freedom with every encrypted message.
From the rugged, windswept cliffs of Newfoundland to the icy underbelly of international waters, Season 9 is a relentless, adrenaline-fueled manhunt. There is no backup. There are no rules. It is just one man and his dog against the world. This isn’t just an investigation anymore; it’s a total war for survival.
