Filming started last fall in St. John’s, Newfoundland. I’ve seen behind-the-scenes photos that look suspiciously like Reardon eating a donut between takes. Is that method acting? Probably.
The new season promises more chases, banter, and ridiculous plot twists. One rumor says Charlie gets amnesia. Another says Rex learns to drive—okay, I made that last one up.
But seriously, the show’s creator confirmed in an interview: “John is committed. He loves the role.” Translation: He’s not going anywhere.

What About the Cast Shake-Ups?
You might’ve heard that some supporting characters are leaving. That’s true—Superintendent Donovan is retiring. But that doesn’t affect Charlie and Rex. They’re the core, like peanut butter and jelly.
New characters will fill the gaps. A sassy forensic analyst? A mysterious new boss? I’m betting on a rival detective with a bad toupee. That’s always good for comedy.
And Rex? He’s getting a puppy sidekick in a few episodes. I am not joking. The dog has a job, people. We’re here for it.
