Last November, NBC-Universal announced that Law & Order: Criminal Intent wasn’t cancelled but would be returning for just an eight episode final season. While the news that the show was coming to an end was disappointing, many were very happy to hear that beloved characters Detectives Robert Goren (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Alex Eames (Kathryn Erbe) were returning.
Season 10 of Law & Order: Criminal Intent debuted this week and the ratings were very positive. The premiere registered the show’s second-largest total audience (5.1 million) since the series moved to USA. It was also up by 21-35% in the demos and up 43% in total viewers when compared to the season nine premiere.
With such positive numbers, could there be an 11th season after all? In a recent conference call, executive producer Dick Wolf told reporters that he hoped, “enough fans will come out so the powers that be reconsider their decision.”
In an interview with the Futon Critic’s Jim Halterman, executive producer Chris Brancato noted that, “I think we all probably know that Dick Wolf never says never… He cares so deeply and he is engaged in the show in a way that you might not expect somebody who is so successful and been doing it for so long. He loves it! This is his baby, of sorts. Yeah, I think if viewers are enthused about Vincent and Katie coming back I don’t see why it has to be the final season.”
What do you think? Would you like to see the TV series continue for an eleventh season? Would it have to include D’Onofrio and Erbe?

So glad this show is back for another season, but why limit it to just one more? It’s excellently written, well -acted. And keep both D’Onofrio and Erbe. They have great chemistry, which is important in a show like this. These shows hold up well, year after year. This is my favorite Law and Order!
Yes, I was very excited when I heard the show was returning with Goren and Eames. They are the best!! Keep it coming.
Yes we would love to see Law and Order Criminal Intent brought back for another season or many more and yes with Goren and Eames as partners. This is a smart show which is really lacking in television at this time.
Yes. I still what all the reruns. My favorite shoe
If I am not at home I dvr it
I like this show. Good story line and acting. No, it does not have to include (Vincent D’Onofrio) in fact, I would prefer that he is replaced. Who ever is responsible for his character is doing a poor job. This character is annoying and I think you can not change (Vincent D’Onofrio) personality. I think you have to get a different actor in there to change the attitude.
i have always enjoyed the show. it won’t be the same if you took them off. don’t break something when its working for u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep em coming. D’Onofrio and Ernie are awesome!!!
Please, please bring it back as I love Goren and Eames. They make the show work.
YES please bring it back. And it’s made complete with the return of our favorite detectives. More seasons please!
Season 11? How about 12, 13, 14…etc? This is the best show on TV. Keep it going!!
yes please bring law and order criminal intent back for the eleventh season but only with Goren and Eames.Nobody does it better. I never miss a show with them. They are the best.Keep the shows going Dick Wolf pretty please. Thank you in advance for hopefully making season eleven happen.
This article has given me hope!! I love L&O Criminal Intent — with the original cast – I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for another season. I’m still depressed that the original L&O was cancelled. Love Dick Wolf!
