Criminal Minds is a popular American
police procedural drama series that premiered September 22, 2005 on
CBS. The series follows a team of profilers from the
FBI's
Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) at
Quantico, Virginia.
Criminal Minds differs from many criminal system procedural dramas by focusing on the criminal rather than the crime itself. The show is produced by The Mark Gordon Company in association with
CBS Television Studios and
ABC Studios.
On May 20, 2009, CBS officially renewed
Criminal Minds for a fifth season, which premiered on September 23, 2009 at 9:00PM ET.
CBS announced in November 2009 that
Legacy Interactive will develop a video game based on the show. The game will require players to examine crime scenes for clues to help solve murder mysteries.
