On April 7, CBS will air an episode of Criminal Minds that paves the way for its planned spin-off.
On that installment, Agent Hotchner's Bau team will join up with new operatives led by Forest Whitaker's Sam Cooper. Together, they all investigate an outbreak of murders in San Francisco.
In the photo below, Whitaker is seen with Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Joe Mantegna:
Last year, CBS spun-off NCIS successfully to create NCIS: Los Angeles, one of the highest-rated shows on TV. It's safe to assume this new version of Criminal Minds will also get picked up this fall.
If that's the case, it will also star Beau Garrett, Matt Ryan and Michael Kelly. Below, we've posted three more pictures from the April 7 episode:...

Criminal Minds fans still aren't fully accustomed to the idea of a spin-off for their favorite show, but from the looks of things it's a go for the Forest Whitaker-led Criminal Minds spin-off as CBS unveils its 11 drama pilots for 2010. It's also obvious that the network wants to take advantage of its procedural boom, with the spin-off taking the cake.
Other than Whitaker, the Criminal Minds spin-off will also star Matt Ryan, Michael Kelly, Beau Garrett and Jason Wiles. It will be introduced via backdoor pilot this season on the mothership as a special two-hour episode. Skeptical fans of the top-rating procedural can take comfort in the fact that the original's writing and executive producing team will be onboard to oversee things; that, and that no one from the original team will jump the fence.
