Telly’s Take
Although the ratings slipped some last season, CBS still renewed Criminal Minds for a 13th season. It premiered with lower numbers than last season and the ratings have dropped quite a bit lower. To be honest, I think this show’s fate will all come down to money and contracts. I suspect that there will be a 14th and final season. I’ll update this page with any updates.

I love criminal minds. Well written with great cast. CANCEL. NO WAY.
Thx so much but I am heartbroken I loved criminal minds
Bring it back! But get back to the serial killers and stop these stupid plot lines with bitchy superiors trying to take down the team and characters going to prison. Thats why ratings went down! Stick to the criminals!!!
