Reunited and it feels so… absolutely perfect.
Kathryn Erbe will be rejoining ex-partner Vincent D’Onofrio for the 10th and final season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, a USA Network spokesperson confirms.
News of Erbe’s freshly-inked deal comes roughly three weeks after D’Onofrio announced his own return to the show.
“I’m excited and grateful that Katie has decided to rejoin one of the best detective teams in the history of television,” said exec producer Dick Wolf in a statement.
D’Onofrio and Erbe left CI at the beginning of the show’s ninth season. They were replaced by Jeff Goldblum and Saffron Burrows.
CI‘s eight episode farewell season premieres sometime in 2011.
