The cast includes Aden Young, best known for his role in “Rectify,” taking on the character of Detective Sergeant Henry Graff. Kathleen Munroe, recognized for her work in “City on Fire,” steps into the role of Detective Sergeant Frankie Bateman. Karen Robinson, famous for her role in “Schitt’s Creek,” assumes the part of Inspector Vivienne Holness. K.C. Collins, known for “The Cleaning Lady,” embodies the character of Deputy Crown Attorney Theo Forrester. Nicola Correia-Damude, known from “Shadowhunters,” portrays Forensic Pathologist Dr. Lucy Da Silva. Lastly, Araya Mengesha, recognized for “Nobody,” becomes tech expert Mark Yohannes.

This series, produced by Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures for Citytv, follows the compelling narratives of two elite detectives from the Specialized Criminal Investigations unit as they delve into high-profile crimes and homicides within the metropolitan landscape of Toronto.

Set to air in the spring of 2024, the 10-part series is currently in production in Toronto. Tassie Cameron, celebrated for her work on “Rookie Blue,” serves as the showrunner and executive producer. The series is further produced by Erin Haskett, Amy Cameron, David Valleau, Alex Patrick, and Holly Dale.

The “Law & Order” franchise stands as one of the premier drama franchises in American television, with three ongoing series including the flagship “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU,” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime.” Notably, the flagship series was previously adapted in the UK as “Law & Order: UK,” which enjoyed an eight-season run.

Fans of the franchise have long called for the return of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” the third longest-running series in the franchise, which aired for ten seasons. Vincent D’Onofrio, a prominent figure in the show, has been an outspoken advocate for a revival, or at least for himself and his co-lead Kathryn Erbe to reprise their roles within the existing “Law & Order” series.
