Hudson & Rex Plot and Cast

Although the makers have not revealed much, Hudson & Rex will continue from where the fourth season ended. The basic premise follows Detective Charlie Hudson, a Major Crimes detective of the fictional St. John’s Police Department.

He is partnered with Rex, a multi-scent trained German Shepherd with an excellent ear for unique sounds. Hudson grew up reading mystery novels and as a result always wanted to be a police detective. He is partnered with Rex after Rex’s K9 human partner, Constable Grace Lindsay, was killed pursuing a kidnapper and Rex was scheduled to be euthanized.

Rex’s keen nose and ears are instrumental in helping Detective Hudson advance the investigations in each episode. The duo receive assistance from Superintendent Donovan, Forensics Chief Truong, and IT Specialist Mills every episode in gathering and interpreting evidence.

Coming to the cast, the leads of the first four seasons are expected to reprise their roles. This include John Reardon, Marko Nguyen, Kevin Hanchard, Justin Kelly and Diesel vom Burgimwald.
