CBSDangerous predators take note: Criminal Minds' BAU team is on the case for another year. CBS announced it has officially renewed the long-running procedural for a full season 12 for the 2016-2017 TV season.
According to CBS, Criminal Minds is still a top performer and this season averages 12 million viewers and 2.8 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic.
The series stars Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness. Shemar Moore, a member of the original cast, left the show this season.
"All of us at Criminal Minds are sad to say ‘see you later' to Agent Derek Morgan. Even sadder that our friend Shemar Moore isn't on set anymore. It was definitely a surprise that he wanted ‘To leap,' as Shemar said, ‘to try new things.' For those reasons, we have nothing but love and respect for him and his choice. But it doesn't mean we can't also be really, really sad," executive producer Erica Messer said in a statement after Moore's last episode.
