Why is 'MacGyver' Season 5 Episode 10 not airing this week? Here's what to expect with Murdoc back in action
Spoilers for 'MacGyver' Season 5
Murdoc, the notorious international assassin and mercenary and Angus "Mac" MacGyver's (Lucas Till) nemesis is back in the new episode next week. After a one-week hiatus this week, we're in for a Codex and action-filled episode as it turns out that Murdoc has been having fun with the Phoenix Foundation comms and has been in on their day-to-day because he's been recording them. So, we have to say, waiting one week for this exciting episode isn't too bad.
There is no official reason as to why a new episode is not airing this week, but reports indicate that it could be due to the delays in production because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead of a new episode this week, Season 4 Episode 11 titled 'Psy-Op + Cell + Merchant + Birds' will be rebroadcast, but read on to know about what's coming up next week.
