'Criminal Minds' Season 10 Spoilers: Spin-Off Series Debuts
The wait for the debut of the highly anticipated spin-off series of the hit police procedural TV drama series "Criminal Minds" is finally over.
This week's showing will serve as the backdoor-pilot episode for the new series "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders." It will focus on the international division of the FBI and its agents who assists American citizens that are in danger in foreign countries.
The kickoff episode, aptly titled "Beyond Borders," will feature former "CSI: NY" star and Emmy Award winner Gary Sinise, who will play Jack Garrett.
A synopsis posted on The Futon Critic reads:
"When a family of four is abducted while on vacation in Barbados, the BAU is called to assist Unit Chief Jack Garrett (Sinise) and his International Unit on their investigation. Garrett and his unit, the FBI's top division for handling cases involving Americans abroad, work jointly with Hotch and his team when they discover that this case matches one the BAU investigated last year in Florida."
Speaking to TV Guide, executive producer Erica Messer reveals more details about the premise of the off-shoot series.
"We find out that this unsub eluded Jack's team two years ago. He killed a family in Aruba and it [haunts] Jack that they weren't able to catch him," Messer said. "Last year, he got away from the BAU when he killed a family in Florida and now this year, he's striking in Barbados, and we're gonna get these two teams together to finally catch this guy."
"Criminal Minds" Season 10 Ep. 19 airs this Wednesday, April 8 at 9 p.m. on CBS.
