The first season begins some time after Hudson has arrived back in St. John's, his hometown, following a divorce from his wife.[15] The first case for the series is a kidnapping.

Production

Casting

Diesel vom Burgimwald (Rex) is a 15th generation descendant of the first shepherd to star in the 1990s Austrian show Inspector Rex that Hudson & Rex is based on. Two other German Shepherds, Izzy and Iko, who are nephews of Diesel vom Burgimwald, stand-in for some of the stunts. Diesel vom Burgimwald had mobility training before being cast as Rex.[53] This is Diesel's first show according to his owner/handler Sherri Davis and training continues on non-shooting days in preparation for future scripts. While on set Diesel has full star treatment with his own trailer, chef, and chauffeur.[54] Diesel is an honorary firefighter with the St. John's Regional Fire Department (SJRFD)[55] as a result of the episode Fast Eddie's.

Filming

Hudson and Rex films at various locations across the City of St. John's, most prominently on the Memorial University of Newfoundland campus. The Bruneau Centre (formerly the Inco Centre) doubles as the headquarters for the fictional St. John's Police Department, whilst the rest of the campus has been used to portray the equally fictional Heritage University of Newfoundland and Labrador.
