What's on this week (5–11 October 2026): Murdoch Mysteries, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. open new seasons

This is the weekly tour of the calendar: the episodes and premieres between Monday 5 and Sunday 11 October, picked from what's most followed on the schedule and rated highest by viewers. Three network shows — Murdoch Mysteries, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. — all open new seasons this week at episode 1, while The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 and Black Clover Season 2 are a week into their own new seasons. Anime leans on the back half of the week: three shows air Friday and two more on Saturday. In movies, only one of the six new releases has a community score so far. The dates come from the same sync that powers the weekly grid — broadcasters move things around, so the calendar itself is always the source of truth.
