CM Renewed for Season 9!

Oh, we knew they were going to be renewed (okay, really hoped that CBS and ABC wouldn't be stupid to cancel them since CM is the #1 show on Wednesday per EW) but we just didn't know if everyone was going to return...

Mantegna, Gibson, Moore, Vangsness and Cook all signed 2 year deals. I wonder if Gibson's included the chance to direct more episodes.

Didn't MGG re-up last year for two years? Or is he the only one still without a contract?

Here's the announcement from EW: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/09/criminal-minds-renewed-for-ninth-season/

Somebody's conspicuously missing from the above roll call: what about Jeanne Tripplehorn? It's about time Blake got a bit more character development.

I thought she signed on for two seasons when she joined the cast.

Apparently AJ and Kirsten were close to not coming back (http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/criminal-minds-contract-negotiations-kirsten-vangsness-a-j-cook-may-not-come-back/ (http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/criminal-minds-contract-negotiations-kirsten-vangsness-a-j-cook-may-not-come-back/)). Yet another shining example of how CBS (and ABC, who co-owns the show) treats female cast members.

And Joe has hinted that someone could potentially die in the season finale.
