"No Deal In Place To Make One…" Says Bernero on "Minds" Spin-Off
Criminal Mind’s executive producer Ed Bernero has some exciting news over at Criminal Minds Fanatics. He says the next season is coming alone fantastically, and the scripts are getting “scarier”. He also brags about the crew and addresses some questions about a possible spin-off series. So, what are the odds of a successful spin-off series?
As noted in the title here, he says there is no specific plan. Fan comments seem to indicate they would definitely be up for a spin-off were it to be as good as Criminal Minds (or period). That’s what I call devotion.
Odds of Crime Drama Spin-Off Success
If you think a crime drama spin-off would be unsuccessful, think again, as there are already some very popular spin-offs out there now. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation begat CSI: NY, and CSI: Miami. I won’t even bother with the list of Law & Order spin-offs, or mention the number of seasons they are into.
Sure, there are some spin-off series that we can argue about (was Mrs. Columbo more successful than Columbo? Was Adam-12 more popular than Dragnet?) and it may be that a CSI comes along maybe once in a lifetime (just like a Criminal Minds).
So, the jury is still out, and the deal is not yet cut. I’m willing to bet that if show creators go about it the right way, we’ll be seeing something worthy of ratings in a spin-off. Then again, it’s all in the odds.
