Variety has learned that Luke Kirby is joining "Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent", while series star Aden Young is departing the show.

Young has been a part of the series since it launched in the role of Detective Sergeant Henry Graff. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Young and the production are parting on amicable terms.  

Kirby joins the show as Detective Sergeant John Darcy. It is said that the character “is called up from Guns & Gangs to partner with Detective Sergeant Frankie Bateman (Kathleen Munroe) in Homicide.”



“From the moment we began imagining this next chapter, Luke stood out as the ideal choice. He brings a sharp intelligence and emotional depth that perfectly aligns with the kind of storytelling ‘Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent’ is known for,” said Tassie Cameron, executive producer on behalf of Cameron Pictures.

“His work is grounded, unpredictable, and deeply character-driven, which makes Detective Darcy an immediate and fascinating presence on our team. We’re incredibly excited to welcome him to the series.”
