List of Mystery! episodes

The following is the list of Mystery! episodes in order by season.

In 1980, Mystery! was launched as the de facto spin-off of Masterpiece Theatre and ran until 2007. For most of its history, the program aired on Thursday nights. Beginning in season 22, the time slot shifted to Wednesday, and then Monday. Finally, in late 2002, Mystery! was moved to Sunday nights and shared the same time slot as Masterpiece Theatre. For the next five years, Mystery! aired as a summer and early fall program, while Masterpiece Theatre aired in the late fall, winter, and spring.

In early 2008, Mystery! and Masterpiece Theatre were reformatted as Masterpiece. Masterpiece is aired as three different series: Masterpiece Classic, Masterpiece Mystery!, and Masterpiece Contemporary.

This lists the titles of the individual miniseries. Some ran for only one episode, many ran for two or more installments. The following lists them according to original season, and then in alphabetical order. Also included are the original UK series and episode numbers for each program, when they differ from the US numbers. For lists of episodes of the successor series, see List of Masterpiece Mystery! episodes.

This list does not include any rebroadcasts of series, including those previously shown on Masterpiece Theatre.
