“A lot of our scenes are like a choreographed dance number”: John Reardon and Diesel on Hudson & Rex season five

“A lot of our scenes are like a choreographed dance number”: John Reardon and Diesel on Hudson & Rex season five

Canada’s number one TV series, police procedural Hudson & Rex, based on Austrian-Italian drama Kommissar Rex, is back for a fifth season. Once again, the action follows detective Charlie Hudson, played by John Reardon (The Killing, Scary Movie 4, White Chicks), and his “highly trained law enforcement animal,” a German Shepherd dog named Rex (Diesel), as they solve crimes together, their combined skills greater than the sum of their parts.

Ahead of the latest chapter of the series landing on UK screens, The Upcoming had the delight of chatting to Reardon and his co-star, Diesel, while they were in London. We heard about their working relationship as the lovable crime-fighting duo, the draw for so many fans of their detective work, and the best moments they shared on-set filming the latest season.
