About Hudson & Rex Season 6
According to IMDb: “Detective Charlie Hudson teams up with what he calls his ‘highly trained law enforcement animal,’ a German Shepherd dog named Rex, who he prefers to team up with because he doesn’t talk his ear off.”

On April 14, 2023, the series was renewed for a sixth season, which premiered October 4, 2023, split into two broadcast blocks (October-November 2023, then February-April 2024).

Score & Composer
Hudson & Rex does not credit a single dedicated series composer; like most procedurals, it fills scenes with a mix of production music and licensed contemporary songs rather than a released score album. An earlier version of this page listed a set of tracklist entries that turned out to be badly garbled: a song titled “Edge of an Ocean – Ships Have Sailed” was described using details that actually belonged to a different song called “Stack,” credited to “Christian House” — and two entries later, the same song reappeared as “Stuck” credited to a third spelling, “Christian Houssay.” None of those three name spellings are correct, and neither “Edge of an Ocean” nor a song called “Stack” could be independently verified as connected to this show.
The real artist behind the correctly-spelled name is Christian Howse, a Newfoundland singer-songwriter whose own official site lists a “sync placement on Hudson and Rex” among his verified career credits. The song most plausibly tied to that credit is “Stuck,” his 2020 debut single from the album Liminal. Two other previously listed entries — a Matt Mays track and a remix credited to “Ekelle/Akel” — could not be independently confirmed as connected to Hudson & Rex through any music-placement database or artist press, so they have been removed rather than repeated as fact.
Hudson & Rex in 2026
Hudson & Rex has continued well past Season 6. Citytv renewed the series for Season 8, which aired in 2026 (14 episodes), and the show has since been renewed again for a ninth season, set to premiere in fall 2026 with John Reardon returning as Detective Charlie Hudson. In the US, the show is also carried on Prime Video.
