CBS Renews Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders for Season 2

Criminal Minds officially has a successful spin-off!

CBS announced on Monday that it is picking up Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders for a second season. The series takes the FBI abroad, as Jack Garrett (Gary Sinise) and his team investigate international abductions and murders of Americans.

Beyond Borders is the second spin-off attempt by Criminal Minds, after the short-lived Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior failed to take off in 2011. Executive producers Mark Gordon and Erica Messer previously told TVGuide.com that they took their time after Suspect Behavior to develop Beyond Borders to make sure they could create a spin-off that felt organic to its mothership show. The original Criminal Minds was renewed earlier this month for Season 12.

The Criminal Minds success comes a week after CBS canceled CSI: Cyber, thus ending the CSI franchise that was the catalyst for the network's procedural success. All three NCIS series, including the NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans spin-offs, will continue next year.

CBS also renewed hospital drama Code Black, Undercover Boss and Matthew Perry's The Odd Couple. That means CBS will now have two former Friends on the network, thanks to Matt LeBlanc's new sitcom.

However, the fate of freshman series Limitless remains unknown, but sources say the drama hasn't been canceled yet.

When I found out it is all shot on backlots that was it for me. Beyond Borders? I think bit

Please excuse the typo. The kindle has a mind of its own and types whatever it feels and not what you type sometimes. It should read "I Think Not".

They actually do travel to each countries & abide by their laws & customs & I wish a little more was shot in those countriesame but some also has to be shot in backlots for costs & because it's later edits & resorts. Just like shows & movies filmed in Hollywood, Toronto or overseas that are set in U.still. cities & very little shot in whatever U.S. city.

Well, that's a shame.

So they'll continue their isolationist xenophobic story lines.

Pretty soon they'll have run out of countries for American tourists to avoid visiting.

Nothing like a good dose of fear mongering every week.

I kinda see your point and understand what you're saying, but come on-- if anyone in other countries watch American shows, they'd think we were full of serial killers and rapists. While I do think there are problems with this show, I disagree that any normal person would be too fearful to visit any of these places after seeing an episode. Only complete idiots would cancel a trip to Paris because an American got kidnapped on a tv show, and if they're that stupid, it's doubtful they'd be traveling to a place like that anyway.

Like I've said before if anyone chooses not to visit another country because they believe a fictional television show is telling them not to they deserve to miss out on the experience! (It's basically no different than the idiots back in the 80's who would copy some stunt in a purely fictional movie and kill them selves doing it.)

Quite frankly, I find that astonishing.

I watched the first episode only because of Alana De La Garza and her presence in Forever.

Sadly, I found myself "fast forwarding" within a few minutes as this program bored the living *beep* out of me.

A plank of wood in the lead role (Sinise wold make a lump of plywood look good)and blatantly obvious green screen backgrounds.

Utter drivel, foisted on the viewing public, while a great show like Forever gets cancelled.

Pretty much every TV review site rates this show very poorly, yet it's renewed?

I despair of American TV values.

Also the ratings of the show are quite low, have no idea how it earned a renewal. Alana De La Garza is great and she deserves much better.
