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.

ReplyDeleteWe are dying...of excitement and joy! This is all so thrilling!
Yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read about Vincent, I was waiting to exhale, now I can! My smile is so big right now!
I too think that after vincent and kate realized how much all the fans love the characters of Bobby and Alex,it made a difference to them regarding entertaining the idea of returning when they were approached by Wolf and USA. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Thank you Vincent and Kate. We do love you guys.
ReplyDeleteI think they should bring Mary Elizabeth Mastrantono back as Captain Callas. I would like to see how Goren is handled by her. Callas would be great to add to season ten.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vincent and Kathyrn for coming back and creating the best pair of dectectives in TV history.
