CBS's Criminal Minds Spin-Off Recruits Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn

Emmy Award-winning actress Anna Gunn, who starred as Skyler White for five seasons on AMC's Breaking Bad, has joined CBS's Criminal Minds spin-off pilot, TV Line reports.

Gunn will play Ally Lambert, an international law expert and linguist; she joins a cast that already includes CSI: NY vet Gary Sinise and Walking Dead actor Tyler James Williams.

The spin-off pilot, which will air this spring as the 18th episode of the Criminal Minds' 10th season, centers on a BAU team that investigates crimes involving Americans overseas. It will be written by Criminal Minds showrunner Erica Messer.

Gunn most recently starred opposite David Tennant in Fox's Broadchurch remake Gracepoint.
