Canada is getting its own “Law & Order” series based in Toronto, expanding the already successful franchise up north by next year.
According to Rogers Media, Citytv has greenlit the new, one-hour crime drama series spinoff, Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent. The new adaptation of the Law & Order brand will consist of 10 one-hour episodes showcasing “original Canadian stories written and produced by, and starring Canadians.”
It is slated to air on Citytv in Spring 2024. And as you may already have guessed the premise surrounds the lives of an elite squad of detectives that investigate high-profile crime and corruption in metro Toronto.

The series will be produced by Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures Inc., in association with Citytv, with filming taking place this fall in Toronto.
“The timeless appeal of the cases explored in the globally successful Law & Order franchise continue to draw in Citytv audiences week after week,” said Hayden Mindell, Senior Vice President, Television, Rogers Sports & Media.
“We’re thrilled to be in partnership with Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures Inc., to bring Canadian stories to this iconic format.”
Though you’ll have to wait a year to see the series come to full bloom, if it’s anything like its predecessors, we’re in for some quality TV.
