TNT has acquired exclusive syndication rights to The Mentalist from Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, beginning in 2012.  Currently in its second season on CBS, The Mentalist was the No. 1 new program of the 2008-09 television season among total viewers and households and won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New Drama.

The Mentalist is a terrific show that will be an ideal fit for TNT's already strong lineup," said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks. "The early success of the series also indicates The Mentalist has a great future."

The Mentalist is from Warner Bros. Television and is executive-produced by Bruno Heller (Rome) and Chris Long (Gilmore Girls).
