The seventh episode of the fourth season of ‘Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent’ is titled “Fireworks.” Episode guides list it with an original air date of November 5, 2026. It follows “Wind Phone,” which is scheduled for October 29.
The Canadian procedural has returned with a new lead detective and a fresh run of cases. The fourth season premiered on October 1, 2026, after a renewal announced in April. For viewers tracking this installment of ‘Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent,’ here is what the available sources confirm about timing, streaming and story.
Release Date and Time for the Next Episode
Schedule listings place “Fireworks” on Thursday, November 5. The series airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on Citytv. The show’s own social media account promoted the fourth season premiere as an 8/7c event on Citytv.
“Wind Phone” airs on October 29, which sets up “Fireworks” for the following Thursday. The season is made up of ten episodes, so the story is still in its middle stretch.
The weekly rhythm has held steady since the opening night. Two episodes aired on October 1, followed by “The Business of Boys” on October 8, “True Patriot Love” on October 15 and “Bad Campers” on October 22. That schedule suggests no breaks have interrupted the run so far.
Where to Watch the Series in Canada and Abroad
Viewers in Canada can watch the fourth season on Citytv. Episodes can also be downloaded through Citytv+, which gives subscribers a way to catch up on missed weeks.
Streaming guides show the season available through Citytv+ and through the Citytv+ channel on Amazon. That makes the Amazon channel a simple option for viewers who already use that platform.
Audiences outside the country have a path as well. A viewing guide points international viewers to Citytv+ for the fourth season. Availability can differ by region, so it is worth checking the service before the next Thursday.
Episode Preview and Story Details
The official synopsis describes a firefighter’s wife who is found dead in her home after a fire. Detectives Darcy and Bateman piece together what really happened so her killer can be brought to justice in court. The setup points to a case that moves from the crime scene to the courtroom.
That structure fits the series. The show centres on crime stories ripped from the headlines, in the style of the original ‘Law & Order’. Its producers say each episode is inspired by a Canadian headline, and sometimes two or three.
The detectives work for the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit, which pursues the worst offenders in Toronto. A case involving a fire and a family connection to emergency services gives the writers room to examine the city beyond its usual crime settings.
Season Cast and Production Behind the Series
Luke Kirby joined the cast this season as Detective Sergeant John Darcy, with Aden Young not returning. Kirby is an Emmy winner. Executive producer Tassie Cameron said he brings a sharp intelligence and emotional depth that suits the show.
Returning cast members include Karen Robinson as Inspector Vivienne Holness. Kathleen Munroe and K.C. Collins also remain in the lineup. The partnership between Darcy and Bateman is the one the synopsis places at the center of the case.
Filming in Toronto ran from April 13 to August 12, 2026. The series is produced by Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures. Readers who have watched Darcy and Bateman work together this season can tell us in the comments whether the case of the firefighter’s wife in ‘Fireworks’ is the one that finally tests how well their partnership holds up.
