Like the parent series, CBS owned the underlying American rights, while ABC owned the international rights. The series premiered on February 16, 2011, and filled the Wednesday 10:00pm time slot, airing afterCriminal Minds.[1]

The series is also carried in rerun form onIon Televisionas part of their existing agreement to carryCriminal Minds.

Background

[edit]

In early 2009, Michael Ausiello fromEntertainment Weeklysaid that he and studios were discussing the possibility of a spin-off of the procedural crime dramaCriminal Minds.Studio producer Ed Bernero confirmed it by disclosing that "it's safe to say there will be something soon." The show had a completely new cast, with the exception ofKirsten Vangsness,who reprised her role asPenelope Garcia.By late 2010, the director had been chosen, and the casting completed.[3]It was announced thatForest Whitakerwould star. Whitaker's character, Samuel "Sam" "Coop" Cooper, and his team were introduced inCriminal MindsSeason 5.[4][5]Richard Schiffhad a recurring role asFBIDirector Jack Fickler.[6]

Samuel Cooper and his team set the stage for the spin-off in the 18th episode of the fifth season ofCriminal Minds,"The Fight"[7](April 7, 2010). This "back-door pilot" approach was also used for other CBS shows that were introduced in original series, such asCSI: Miami(2002-2012),CSI: NY(2004-2013),CSI: Cyber(2015-2016),NCIS: Los Angeles(2009–2023) andNCIS: New Orleans(2014-2021).Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviorwas the first cancellation of CBS spinoffs andCSI: NYwas picked up for an eighth season in its place.
