MGG has signed a new deal!!! For the next 2 seasons!!
From Deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Reid is staying put. I’ve learned that originalCriminal Minds cast member Matthew Gray Gubler has signed a new two-year deal to remain on theCBS crime procedural. I hear his salary has been bumped to just north of $100,000 per episode. Along with co-star Paget Brewster,who opted to leave the ABC Studios/CBS Studios-produced series in May, Gubler was the only core cast member whose contract was up at the end of this past season. Coincidentally, Gubler directed Brewster’s original exit episode last spring before the actress returned to the series for one more season. It was one of three Criminal Minds episodes Gubler has helmed. On the series, which returns for an eighth season this fall, Gubler plays Behavioral Analysis Unit member Dr. Spencer Reid, a prodigy with an IQ of 187 and an eidetic memory who graduated high school at age 12 and holds multiple Ph.D. and B.A. degrees. Besides Brewster, all Criminal Minds stars, led by Thomas Gibson and Joe Mantegna, are new returning, joined by Jeanne Tripplehorn, who was recently cast as a new regular.

ReplyDeleteI hope his new contract includes a few eps for him to direct (which is my personal theory on why it took so long ...)
