The Law & Order franchise could see another revival if one cast member has his way. Vincent D’Onofrio is ready to bring back his Detective Robert Goren character for a revival of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The actor was asked about potentially reprising his role at a recent appearance.
The series aired for 195 episodes and 10 seasons, six on NBC and four on USA Network. Also starring Kathryn Erbe, Jamey Sheridan, Courtney B. Vance, Leslie Hendrix, Eric Bogosian, Chris Noth, Julianne Nicholson, and Steven Zirnkilton, the series follows those that work with the Major Case squad of the NYPD.
D’Onofrio said the following about returning to the character when asked, per TV Line:
“That’s a question for Dick Wolf. But come on, what am I, an idiot? It’s a great part… Look, Dick, seven, eight, nine episodes would be great.”
After Criminal Intent fans picked up on the comment via social media, the actor sent numerous tweets encouraging Dick Wolf and former showrunner Warren Leight to bring the series back.
.@warrenleightTV people are definitely into this. When we all finally sort all these important issues with the studios maybe it’s time to think about this seriously. If the boss @WolfEnt is into it of course. Could be fun.

Executive producer Noberto Barba agreed that the show should return.
I enjoyed you so much as well my friend.
I think it’s a no brainer too but as you know it’s ups to @WolfEnt— Vincent D’Onofrio (@vincentdonofrio) May 31, 2023
Erbe says that she’s in.
I would love that Vin @vincentdonofrio @warrenleightTV https://t.co/YlhePiKsxY

What do you think? Did you watch Law & Order: Criminal Intent? Do you want to see the series return for a limited series or as an ongoing show?
NBC should do this and save episodes for Sunday or between cycles of the Voice.
I would love to see my favorite TV show again with my favorite detectives, Bobby and Eames. I still watch the reruns. Please come back!
Binging the 10 seasons now, would love to see this return
Yes please bring it back
I’m definitely interested and would LOVE to see CI return.
Marvelous idea! Maybe have Bobby wander in to SVU looking for a former coworker (Monique Jeffries?) because he wants help clearing their former captain’s name (bring back Jamey Sheridan while we’re at it). Just wish it could have happened earlier–Bobby Goren and John Munch would have gotten along SO WELL…
I loved Law & Order Criminal Intent from the very first episode, “One.” And I watched every single episode since the first…for 10 years. It was a fabulous show and I would love to see it return! Sometimes the best TV shows have already been created!
Definitely bring this show back!!!!
I would love to see criminal intent revived. Bring as many of the originals characters or w cvs en cameos. But I would love to see an o going series.
I would be so glad if Vincent & Kathryn reprised their rolls!! It would be great if they returned.
I would love for it to come back!! C’mon Dick Wolfe, don’t let us down!
Don’t play with my emotions, Bobby, I still watch the reruns. Sorry but Jeff Goldblum can’t compare to you.
Because so many law and order hard keep track of them.
Would be amazing to have Criminal Intent back on TV as long as Vincent and Kathryn were the stars. I loved them together. Hey Dick Wolf please make this happen.
Personally, it was never my favorite of the L&O shows but I could see it coming back since they brought back the original L&O show.
Yes best show ever!!!
