Criminal
Minds: Beyond Borders
looks at the specialized International Division of the FBI tasked
with solving crimes and coming to the rescue of Americans who find
themselves in danger while abroad.
Created
by Erica Messar as a spin-off to the highly popular Criminal Minds
franchise, this new series examines cases of abductions, hostage
taking, extortions, threats and other criminal activities posed by
increased cross-border travel, globalization, and technology freedom.
The
backdoor pilot was first introduced as an episode on the flagship
show where an innocent family of four was abducted while vacationing
in Barbados. The new series will continue to travel to Spain, Tokyo,
Thailand, Mumbai and Paris investigating crimes that include the
religion, culture and politics of the different countries.
Starring
Gary
Sinise as Unit Chief Jack Garrett a
seasoned 20-year veteran of the Bureau, his team includes Clara Seger
a smart, well-traveled and multi-lingual cultural anthropologist
played by Alana De La Garza. Heart throb Daniel Henney is Matthew
Simmons, a
former military hero while Tyler
James Williams plays the
unit’s compassionate, brilliant tech analyst, Russ
“Monty” Montgomery. Annie Funke rounds out the group as Mae
Jarvis,
the team’s fearless and fun medical examiner.
These
exceptional agents are dedicated to protecting US citizens and
returning them home by profiling and identifying criminals who target
them beyond borders.
