What New Show Will Come From "Criminal Minds"?
You may have heard that Criminal Mind’s creators will possibly develop a new FBI drama series with its roots based on the current series. Let’s put our minds to work and see exactly what could develop.
Executive producer Ed Bernero revealed recently the idea has been around since the beginning, but that between Mandy Patinkin leaving the show, and the WGA Strike, the plan just never came into action.
Since the creators of the show have been looking at all the things the FBI does to determine what would relate to the Criminal Mind’s “world”, I thought we’d take a look at what the FBI does too, and see if we can guess what route these new show creators will take after the jump:
The Analysis
The FBI has three major national security priorities, and five major criminal priorities.
The three major national security priorities are:
- counterterrorism
- counterintelligence
- cyber crime
The five major criminal priorities are:
- public corruption
- civil rights
- white-collar crime
- organized crime
- major thefts/violent crime
Since most of the Criminal Mind’s cases seem to delve into violent crime, serial killings, and some relate to cyber crime, what do you think the new show’s focus will be?
- A show that features a cyber crime team? This would be a great way to bring Garcia’s boyfriend in on a permanent and prominent gig.
- Another team focused on solving violent crimes against children? Some of the cases have featured violence against children.
- A team focused on domestic or international terrorism? CBS could have its own version of Agent Jack Baur (24)
- A team focused on organized crime? Maybe CR meets the Sopranos?
- A team that specializes in investigating other FBI agents? That one sounds full of interesting possibilities too.
What do you think would be the most exciting for crime drama viewers?
