Shaftesbury Films today announced that its homegrown hit drama series, Murdoch Mysteries, has been sold to China’s state-owned broadcaster CCTV to air on popular drama channel CCTV-8, which reaches 200 million homes. Seasons one and two of the series will be dubbed into Mandarin for broadcast as part of CCTV-8’s daily international drama programming block, Everyday Jiayi (“Best For Entertainment”). Murdoch Mysteries airs on Citytv in Canada and UKTV’s Alibi in the UK, and has been licensed in over 100 territories worldwide by ITV STUDIOS Global Entertainment, which distributes the series outside of Canada and the UK.

Based on Canadian author Maureen Jennings’s popular Detective Murdoch series of mystery novels and set in late 1890s Toronto, Murdoch Mysteries explores the intriguing world of Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), who uses radical techniques for the time to solve some of the city’s most gruesome murders. Shaftesbury is currently in production on season four of the series in and around Toronto and Hamilton.

Murdoch Mysteries was recently honoured with an award for Excellent Drama Series at the 2010 Seoul International Drama Awards, which were presented in Seoul, Korea on September 10. Series’ lead Bisson was in attendance to accept the award on behalf of Shaftesbury.
