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 wish CBS would not cancel this show. Instead bring back Thomas Gibson! Stop being so bullheaded.

It should be renewed, the cast should be minus ‘Luke’ and bring back Hodge and/or Morgan… Get rid of the writer who had a problem with Thomas Gibson and bring Gibson back!!!!!

I would like to see a 14th season with Thomas Gibson back in charge. The ratings will continue to slip without him.
