Law & Order Toronto, the sanctioned spin-off of the beloved Dick Wolf franchise, is currently shooting all over the city and taking inspiration from IRL Canadian crimes. Tassie Cameron—the veteran behind Rookie Blue and Flashpoint—wrote the pilot and joined the project as showrunner last year. Here, she dishes on how the franchise came to be and what viewers may see when they tune in to its release in spring 2024. |

Happy ’hood hunting! |
