The Law & Order franchise has been a staple of network TV for decades but this is the first time that The CW has had it’s own version (albeit a Canadian import). There’s no need to wonder if Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will be cancelled right now since the network picked up two seasons. The show’s already been renewed for a third season in Canada. Will The CW pick those episodes up as well? Stay tuned.
A Canadian procedural drama series, the Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent is based on a format created by Dick Wolf and developed by Rene Balcer. The cast includes Aden Young, Kathleen Munroe, K.C. Collins, Karen Robinson, Araya Mengesha, and Nicola Correia-Damude. The first season follows the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit’s Detective Sergeants Henry Graff (Young) and Frankie Bateman (Munroe), as they investigate high-profile homicides in Canada’s largest metropolis. Their unique investigative skills are showcased through a variety of psychological tactics, with a heavy focus on the motives and actions of criminals. These cases delve into the worlds of high finance, politics, real estate, media, and more. Other characters include Deputy Crown Attorney Theo Forrester (Collins), Inspector Vivienne Holness (Robinson), technology expert Mark Yohannes (Mengesha), and medical examiner Dr. Lucy Da Silva (Correia-Damude).
