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.

Please don’t cancel Criminal Minds. This is an awesome show and i look forward to it every Wednesday. Like to see Reed or Garcia find love.
My friend and.Ilove criminal minds we don’t want the series to ever end we would be sad it is all we have all day Mon and tues and Wed night at 10:00pm.if it’s canceled we will very angry if it is gone. Lynn&Annie.
I think Criminal Minds is missing Hitch! Emily is not a strong leader. She isn’t aware of what the higher ups are plotting! Hitch some how knew when he was being played! Rossi would have been a better choice to lead this team! With Thomas Gibson and Shemar Moore gone and Pagett Brewster as the lead, this show is on life supports
Please renew/continue criminal minds. It’s a great show with a great cast. Do miss Hotch at times and the newer guy is a little different.
We love criminal minds and will be very disappointed if there is no season 14
hi my great friends i wishes that criminal minds is renewed for season 14 i pray so strong i believe so strong kisses
I CAN’T WAIT FOR SEASON 14…..AS MILLIONS OF FAN’S… CRIMINAL MINDS IS AWESOME….EACH SEASON GET’S BETTER & BETTER…⚠⚠⚠⚠ I CAN’T WAIT FOR SEASON 14 & 15 & 16…AS WELL AS MILLIONS OF OTHER FANS ⚠⚠⚠
Would love the show to continue but only if they bring back Thomas Gibson.
14th Season please!! Problem for me in Oregon is on same time as Chicago PD which I also love but do purchase in DVD format when season over in case anything missed or just want to rewatch especially on weekends when TV is devoted to children and sports!
I think if Thomas Gibson isn’t brought back,they may as well cancel. While Paget Brewster is great, she lacks the commanding presence and voice of leadership lended by Gibson, he helped the group seem less scattered.
I pray that season 13 was the lasttttt
Without Thomas Gibson this show is dead, I stopped watching once hr got fired. Bring him back or cancel it.
Season 14 would be great. Bring back Morgan and Hotch!
please do not cancel season 14 criminal minds i would be very upset as i look forward to watching it
I would be so upset if Criminal Minds was cancelled. CBS puts all the good shows on at 10 pm. Then they dont get the highest ratings as othets. If the cancel this show you might as well as cancel the other FEW good shows like this. I’m gonna have to change channels.
I would be a bit upset about it because bad enough CSI was cancelled!
