Person of Interest stars Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson as a pair of vigilantes who prevent violent crimes before they happen with the help of an advanced surveillance system known as The Machine. Elementary is a modern retelling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, with Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock and Lucy Liu's Joan Watson helping the NYPD solve its most difficult cases.

The two shows, whose off-network airing rights WGN America obtained in 2014, join fellow CBS procedural Blue Bloods in the Prime Crime lineup. WGN America is also the home of original series Salem and Manhattan.
