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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Criminal Minds TV show has been renewed for a 14th season? How would you feel if CBS had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Yes I’m a big fan of Criminal Minds and hope it continues for the 14th season. I enjoy Emily as replacement for Hotch. Always enjoyed her as part of Team. I do miss Hotch he was the best lead of Team. It was sad to see him go as well as that handsome Moore.
Just get Thomas Gibson back!!!!!To me it’s the best show on tv.Love it.Nn
I hope they make a season 14 of Criminal Minds. Criminal Minds is the best TV show ever.
I agree with JC. Bring Thomas Gibson back . Please don’t cancel the show. Please renew the show. I love the show!!!

So at the end of yesterday’s episode, it says 1more episode b4 the 2 episode SEASON FINALE…not…SERIES FINALE!
WOULD CBS SERIOUSLY END 13 SEASONS WITHOUT A PROPER SERIES FINALE??!!…AFTER 13?? NO WAY! THAT WOULD JUST BE WRONG!!!!!
They atleast have to dramatically end with…BEFORE THE 2 EPISODE SERIES FINALE. ..Don’t they??
