- Criminal Minds is getting rebooted
- Six former stars are back for the revival
- Mandy Patinkin isn't — but he has a new show
Criminal Minds is all set to return with six of its former cast members. And fans are excited, even if there are big omissions — like "Reid" actor Matthew Gray Gubler.
It wasn't a big surprise, but neither Thomas Gibson nor Mandy Patinkin joined the new Criminal Minds either. Both stars exited the series under controversial circumstances. And Patinkin is now launching a crime series of his own.
Mandy Patinkin has a new crime show but it isn't Criminal Minds
Mandy Patinkin, who played "Jason Gideon" on Criminal Minds, has a new show heading to Hulu. Also a crime series, it's called Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem.
THR announced Patinkin's new show today and noted he will star as detective "Rufus Cotesworth," who must solve a murder aboard a cruise liner on the Mediterranean. It's a drama that will have 10 episodes.
