In CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION, the FBI’s elite team of criminal profilers come up against their greatest threat yet, an UnSub who has used the pandemic to build a network of other serial killers. As the world opens back up and the network goes operational, the team must hunt them down, one murder at a time. Original cast members continuing their roles include Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez and Paget Brewster. Zach Gilford joins the dynamic cast as a recurring guest star in a season-long arc.
CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION will continue and expand the beloved franchise for streaming audiences, blending serialized elements into the series’ format. This season continues CBS’ “Criminal Minds” series, which ran from 2005-2020 and followed the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, the best of the best who profiled the worst of the worst.
CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION is produced by ABC Signature and CBS Studios. Erica Messer (“Criminal Minds,” “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders”) serves as showrunner, executive producer and writer. Breen Frazier and Chris Barbour will serve as writers and executive producers, Glenn Kershaw will direct and executive produce and Mark Gordon will also serve as executive producer.

We are delighted!
I watched criminal minds until the very end we pay so much for cable now,so why do we have to pay additional money for 1 program give me a break!!
Yes, it should be put back on CBS for everyone to watch. Some people can’t afford Paramount +. Why should we have to pay for it. We are paying enough for cable already. Great show so please put it back on CBS. Do something right for a change.
Watch every season on CBS. But will not watch with its move Paramount+.
Forgot~ how could they have taken the best show off CBS to begin with??? I’ll never understand that- we all want more than ten episodes and we want it on CBS for a long time to come! Thank you!!
I want more than just 10 episodes and it should air back on cbs!!! Pls!!! Thank you, Sue
The cancellation of Criminal Minds was the largest criminal act against entertainment. We have had to suffer and endure mediocrity since.
I welcome the writer’s, producer’s, actors, the whole ensemble back to whet our appetites forever more.
I am psyched! Looks insane!
