''Criminal Minds'' is an American police procedural television series created by Jeff Davis. It premiered on September 22, 2005, on the broadcast network CBS, and is produced by The Mark Gordon Company, in association with CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios. ''Criminal Minds'' is set primarily at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) based in Quantico, Virginia, and in accordance with the show's plot, ''Criminal Minds'' differs from many procedural dramas by focusing on profiling the criminal, called the unsub or "unknown subject", rather than the actual crime itself. The focal point of the series follows a talented group of FBI profilers who set about catching various criminals through behavioral profiling. The plot focuses on the team working cases and the personal lives of the characters, depicting the hardened life and statutory requirements of a profiler. On May 11, 2015, CBS renewed the show for an eleventh season that premiered on September 30, 2015. ==Background== When the series premiered in September 2005, it featured FBI Agents Jason Gideon, Aaron Hotchner, Elle Greenaway, Derek Morgan, Spencer Reid, Jennifer Jareau (J.J.), and Penelope Garcia. For season one, Garcia was not a main cast member, but rather was a recurring role despite appearing in most episodes. In 2006, at the start of season two, Lola Glaudini announced her departure from the show, as she was unhappy living in Los Angeles, where the show is filmed, and wished to return home to New York City. Paget Brewster replaced her in the role of Emily Prentiss. At the start of season three, Mandy Patinkin announced his departure from the show, because he was deeply disturbed by the content depicted in the show. He left letters of apology for his fellow cast members, explaining his reasons and wishing them luck. Joe Mantegna replaced him as David Rossi, a best-selling author and FBI agent who comes out of retirement. During season three, A.J. Cook became pregnant with her first child. Her pregnancy was written into the show, and Cook's real-life son, Mekhai Andersen, has had a recurring role as Jennifer's son Henry. Cook's void was filled by Meta Golding, who played Jordan Todd, an FBI agent who works with the agency's Counter Terrorism Unit. In season six, Jennifer is forced to accept a promotion at The Pentagon, causing her to leave the BAU. Later that season, Emily is seemingly killed off and, although she actually survives, she does not make an appearance for the rest of the season. They were both replaced by Rachel Nichols as Ashley Seaver, an FBI cadet. CBS's decision to release Cook and Brewster from their contracts caused numerous angry letters sent from the fans to the studio as well as signing of petitions. As a result, Cook and Brewster were rehired by CBS into their roles as Jennifer Jareau and Emily Prentiss respectively, which caused Nichols to be fired from the show. In February 2012, Brewster announced her departure from the show after the seventh season, and was replaced the following season by Jeanne Tripplehorn, who played Alex Blake, a linguistics expert.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big Love Jeanne Tripplehorn becomes Criminal Minds series regular )〕 Paget Brewster made a special guest appearance in the series' ninth season, reprising as Emily Prentiss.
