The Canadian cop show spinoff Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent has its cast.
Citytv says Aden Young of Rectify and Kathleen Munroe of City on Fire will play elite detectives who investigate “high-profile crimes and homicides in metro Toronto.”
Schitt’s Creek and Pretty Hard Cases alumnus Karen Robinson plays Inspector Vivienne Holness.
The network touts its cast as all-Canadian. The show is currently in production amid an ongoing Hollywood actors strike.
Also, in the leading cast is K.C. Collins of The Cleaning Lady as a deputy Crown attorney, Nicola Correia-Damude of Shadowhunters as a forensic pathologist and Araya Mengesha of Anne with an E as a tech expert.
Citytv says 10 one-hour episodes are slated for a spring 2024 launch and will deliver “original Canadian stories written, produced by and starring Canadians.”
Earlier this year, Hayden Mindell, senior vice-president television at Rogers Sports & Media, said he expected the show would feature “ripped-from-the-headlines-crimes that have occurred in this fine city.”
