WE TV ACQUIRES TEN SEASONS OF HIT PROCEDURAL “CRIMINAL MINDS” STARRING JOE MANTEGNA AND SHEMAR MOORE
Beginning December 16, WE tv will air the hit CBS series on Saturdays during all-day binge-a-thons and Mondays in primetime
WE tv will begin airing the critically-acclaimed drama, “Criminal Minds,” starting Saturday, December 16 from 10am-5am ET/PT. The first ten seasons will continue to air during all-day binge-a-thons on Saturdays from 10am-1am ET/PT and Mondays from 4pm-1am ET/PT.
Each one hour episode follows an elite team of FBI profilers who are set on catching various criminals through behavioral profiling. The Behavioral Analysis Unit’s most prominent agent is David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), a founding member of the BAU who returns to help the team solve new cases, while pursuing some unfinished business of his own. The team is led by Special Agent Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), a family man who is able to gain people’s trust and unlock their secrets. Other members include Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), the daughter of high-powered diplomats who must prove her worth to Hotchner; Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), an expert on obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; Jennifer “J.J.” Jareau (A.J. Cook), a confident young agent who acts as the unit liaison for the team, and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), a computer wizard who helps research the cases. Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators’ motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.

CBS will make a renewal decision in the coming months.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of
Criminal Minds Season 14…

Please explain how buying seasons 1-10 increases Criminal Minds renewal chances. It seems WE TV has rejected the new bastardized version of Criminal Minds just like millions of fans and have opted to purchase the seasons where Thomas Gibson was leader and carried the show. Why then should CBS renew a series that now has weak leadership, poor writing and horrible chemistry. The producers embellished a schoolyard skirmish into a major crime just to get rid of Gibson in order to reboot CM into something Erica Messer dreamed would work. It failed. Getting rid of Gibson destroyed CM.This makeshift version of CM deserves to be canceled.

It really does money talks

TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!! I use to look forward to my CM, I’d watch the reruns, I couldn’t get enough. Now I DVR it and sometimes delete the episodes without watching. Big mistake firing T. Gibson. The is show has fallen from grace, please cancel it and let us keep loving the CM that once was. How unfair to such talented actors.
