CTV adds Criminal Minds spinoff

CTV is building on the success of legal/cop drama Criminal Minds with a new spinoff series, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, starring Forest Whitaker.

The last-minute addition to the winter schedule is filling the Wednesday 10 p.m. (ET) slot starting Feb. 16. It bumps The Defenders, which moves to Fridays at 8 p.m. starting Feb. 4.

In the void between, the Wednesday 10 p.m. slot will be filled with the Tom Selleck-starrer Blue Bloods, which will do a four-week run in the timeslot starting Jan. 19. It will move back to Fridays on Feb. 11.

The schedule shift also affects the premiere of the Shaftesbury series The Listener, which has been moved to a spring debut.
