Ion Television continues to strengthen its programming lineup with high-quality content, announcing today the acquisition of the critically-acclaimed series Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The off-network licensing rights give Ion all 10 seasons (195 episodes) of the crime-drama favorite.
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent is a proven drama with a long-standing history as part of a highly successful 20-plus year franchise" said Brandon Burgess, Ion's CEO. "The addition of this popular series to our general entertainment lineup is yet another important piece to ION's solid programming foundation."
The show was created by Dick Wolf and is the third installment of the Law & Order brand, which stands as the second longest-running scripted primetime series in television history. Law & Order: Criminal Intent aired for 10 seasons, first on NBC (six seasons) and followed by USA Network, concluding in 2011.
Interestingly, this new deal comes on the heels of other recent key acquisitions for Ion, which announced on Tuesday that it was adding former CBS series NUMB3RS. In addition, Ion recently announced its first exclusive broadcast partnership with WWE for the original series WWE Main Event.
