Fans of CBS' "Criminal Minds" will finally get a taste of the new spinoff series in Wednesday night's all-new episode.

The spinoff, however, will focus on an international division of the FBI and will feature FBI agents who help American citizens in danger in other countries.

Other members of the International Unit include "Breaking Bad" actress Anna Gunn, Daniel Henney as Special Ops Agent Matthew Simmons and Tyler James Williams from "The Walking Dead" as International Unit tech guru Russ "Monty" Montgomery, reports Buddy TV.
"Every year there's thousands of Americans aboard who are in jeopardy and there's an international division of the FBI who goes to get them beyond borders, and that's our team," said Garrett in a newly released preview video published on TVLine.com.
Garrett adds that his character is an FBI verteran, and he has been with the organization fr years. His family is also involved with the FBI.
"We find out that this unsub eluded Jack's team two years ago. He killed a family in Aruba and it [haunts] Jack that they weren't able to catch him," executive producer Erica Messer told TVGuide.com. "Last year, he got away from the BAU when he killed a family in Florida and now this year, he's striking in Barbados, and we're gonna get these two teams together to finally catch this guy."
