Rogers Sports and Media on Tuesday announced Citytv has renewed Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent for a fourth season, with Emmy Award-winning Canadian actor Luke Kirby joining the cast as a new detective character.
With production underway in Toronto, Season 4 of the series is set to premiere on Citytv this fall. The Canadian adaptation of the Law & Order franchise is produced by Vancouver-based Lark Productions and Toronto-based Cameron Pictures in association with Citytv and Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Kirby, a Primetime Emmy Award winner for his portrayal of Lenny Bruce in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, will play Detective Sergeant John Darcy, who is called up from the guns and gangs unit to partner with Detective Sergeant Frankie Bateman (played by Kathleen Munroe) in the homicide squad.
In addition to Munroe, other returning cast members in Season 4 include Karen Robinson (Inspector Vivienne Holness), K.C. Collins (Deputy Crown Attorney Theo Forrester), Nicola Correia-Damude (pathologist Dr. Lucy Da Silva), and Araya Mengesha (tech expert Mark Yohannes). Missing from the list is original cast member Aden Young, who has portrayed Detective Sergeant Henry Graff for the first three seasons of the show.
“From the moment we began imagining this next chapter, Luke stood out as the ideal choice. He brings a sharp intelligence and emotional depth that perfectly aligns with the kind of storytelling Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent is known for,” Tassie Cameron, executive producer at Cameron Pictures, said in a Rogers Sports and Media press release. “His work is grounded, unpredictable, and deeply character-driven, which makes Detective Darcy an immediate and fascinating presence on our team. We’re incredibly excited to welcome him to the series.”
In addition to his work on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Kirby’s credits include starring opposite Jennifer Garner in the Apple TV+ series The Last Thing He Told Me, as well as starring in Étoile for Amazon, Out of My Mind for Disney+, and the HBO series The Deuce.
“The overwhelming viewer response to Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent is a testament to the amazing work and vision of our creative partners and cast,” said Kale Stockwell, head of original programming at Rogers Sports and Media, in a statement. “We’re excited to bring a new season of gripping stories that authentically reflect Toronto’s people and neighborhoods, set within this iconic global franchise.”
