‘Criminal Intent’ staying on USA

“Law & Order: Criminal Intent” will remain on the case for another season on USA Network.

The show has been renewed for a 16-episode eighth year, the network announced. It returns June 8 following a break.

Part of the three-series “Law & Order” franchise created by Dick Wolf, “Criminal Intent” originally aired on NBC.

But when the network decided that this season’s schedule had room for only two of the shows, a deal was struck to air “Criminal Intent” first on USA, then on NBC.
