I'm not a fan of Murdoch Mysteries, but I know some here are. So I have no idea what they'll make of this idea.
The CBC has confirmed it's making a spin-off of the Canadian detective series involving the main character's great-great-great-granddaughter, the titular Macy Murdoch, who goes back in time to solve a 112-year-old mystery.
"Sixteen-year-old Macy is a forensic wunderkind who unravels a century-old mystery with the help of her two friends Zane and Billie. When a villain uses a time machine to frame famous Edwardian-era Detective William Murdoch for murder, Macy and her friends travel back in time to find the real perpetrator of the crime. Not only are the teens trying to crack a difficult case, but the trio are undercover, trying to solve a mystery in 1910 without the help of modern technology."
It's aimed at younger viewers, although fans of the original might want to tune in. Plans are to show it only on CBC Gem. It should hit that service in the spring of 2023.

I could be wrong, but I somehow get the feeling this would have been better as an animated series.
