A new spinoff in the beloved Law & Order franchise is set to debut in the U.S. this fall. Titled **Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent**, the show will launch on September 24, 2025, on the CW Network, and it has already received a renewal for a second season scheduled for 2026.
Since its inception in 1990, Law & Order has cultivated a dedicated fanbase, captivating audiences with dramatic portrayals of first responders tackling complex and often disturbing cases. This new series will expand the franchise’s reach, bringing its compelling storytelling to a channel outside of the traditional NBC or Peacock platforms.
**Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent** centers on Detective Sergeants Henry Graff (played by Aden Young) and Frankie Bateman (portrayed by Kathleen Monroe). They lead the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit in Toronto, solving weekly cases while navigating challenges within various sectors, including finance, politics, and media.
Interestingly, the show is already a hit in Canada, having completed airing its second season there. American viewers can rest assured that they will not miss out, as the CW plans to air season 2 in 2026.
This addition to the Law & Order lineup promises to engage fans with its fresh Canadian perspective while maintaining the franchise’s signature style. The anticipation builds as audiences await a glimpse of what Detective Graff and Sergeant Bateman will uncover in the world of crime and justice.
