This is just one of the many cast shakeups happening to the show. Kathryn Erbe also departs with D'Onofrio, the two remaining original cast members. Julianna Nicholson has also left the show and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio has joined the cast as the new captain.

This may not be quite the final curtain for Detective Goren, though. D'Onofrio teased back in September when his departure was announced, "For all my loyal 'CI' fans, I wouldn't be surprised if Goren pops up from time to time."

Note: The USA Network has announced that Season 10 of CI will be its last and that Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe will be making appearances as Goren and Eames. The start date for season 10 has not been announced yet. See the link below to check for updates.

Because they want to expand their careers and parlay it into the movie business instead of just being stuck in television (just like everybody else who does TV for a long period of time). Especially since those movie offers, just keep pouring in!

Plus USA Network/ NBC cancelled the show!
