Despite the success of Criminal Minds, it looks like one of its spin-offs has failed to take hold. Recently, CBS revealed they’ve cancelled Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders after two seasons.
A crime procedural, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders revolves around the International Division of the FBI which investigates crimes and rescues Americans in peril abroad. The cast includes Gary Sinise, Alana De La Garza, Daniel Henney, Tyler James Williams, and Annie Funke.
Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders began with low ratings, and season two has dipped even further. So far, the season is averaging a 0.84 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.99 million viewers, making it one of CBS‘ lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season. It seems the network hasn’t found a successor to Criminal Minds just yet.
However, despite low ratings, the show does have a loyal-if-small fan base. When we asked viewers if they thought Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders should be renewed, 79% said “yes.” Sadly, the fate of the series is beyond their control.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders? Are you sad this CBS series won’t have a third season?
So disappointed that “Criminal Minds Beyond Borders” was cancelled!!! After watching it, I lost all interest in the original Criminal Minds and I don’t watch it anymore. And I love all the characters better in Beyond Borders. Sometimes a show does not succeed because of air time & day. Try a different day & time…nothing good on Saturday evening, put it there. If two of my favorite shows on at same time…I will go to hulu and watch the other one the next day. Too many good shows being cancelled!!!
please rethink renewing this great show !!! it deserves to have more seasons with its fantastic storylines cast and exotic locations .!!!!
Definitely should renew the season. Its one of the only shows that shows crimes abroad which interesting for lots of viewers including me
No, I just think the show was not a fit OVERALL for Gary Sinise. I truly respect his work as an actor and think CSI: NY was a much better show for him. Beyond Borders just really seemed to lack luster and it simply DID NOT take off! I do hope that Gary Sinise finds another show that he can headline, I so miss seeing him on CBS. I felt he was just terrific on CSI: NY; I still miss that show! See you again soon Gary, perhaps CBS will find another home for you. With respect to the rest… Read more »
Sad to see Criminal Minds Beyond the borders cancelled. Great show with great cast. Why do all good shows get cancelled but the bad shows remain. Don5 understand this concept.
it was a great show why cancel? how stupid.
I’m totally bummed that this awesome show got cancelled. This was a great show
Just noticed Beyond Borders was canceled. It’s sad to see a good show with good actors being canceled. It’ll probably be replaced by another mindless reality show. Then we wonder why Americans worship dribble.
so sad….this is cancelled, yet shows like say yes to dress live on? we’re really a nation of dumbed down idiots.
Bring back csi beyond the borders, we need to understand how to conduct ourself in a different and what to do if the leaders or strangers act up and kidnap a person or person’s.
Really sorry that Criminal Minds Beyond Borders will not be returning. Really enjoyed it!!
Sometimes, you need to mold a show into becoming great. There were many shows in the past that weren’t great to begin with. This one has potential. You just need some tweaking and some TLC and it could become great. But, you need patience.
It is such a shame to cancel this show. It’s so hard to find anything to watch on Network TV these days, except the reality shows and mindless comedies everywhere. I really enjoyed this show, and recorded it so I would not miss an episode. Gary Sinise did a wonderful job as did the entire cast. An earlier time slot, maybe a different evening, should have been tried first before the show was cancelled.
hoping a more open minded exec revisits…or move to Netflix original!
K & J. We are very unhappy this show is not returning. It is a show we watched regularly and recorded on DVD if we were not home to watch the show. We love watching Gary Sinise and really enjoyed the premise of this show.
