Criminal Minds is returning to the small screen. Paramount+ has revived the crime drama two years after CBS cancelled the series, per Deadline. Joe Mantegna, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, A.J. Cook, Aisha Tyler, and Paget Brewster are returning to star in the series along with executive producer/showrunner Erica Messer working behind the scenes.
Back in February, it was revealed that the series was getting close to being revived. All that needed to be done at that time was to solidify the cast returns.
Matthew Gray Gubler won’t be returning as he has indicated that, after 15 years in the role of Spencer Reid, he is ready to move on. Daniel Henney is filming in The Wheel Of Time for Prime Video so he isn’t able to return as a regular. However, there is a possibility that Henney could guest in the revival if his schedule allows.
Criminal Minds aired for 15 seasons on CBS, and it follows the elite Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI. The new season will find the characters investigating one case over the course of the 10 episodes.
Mantegna teased the return of the series on social media.

A premiere dare and more details about the return of the series will be announced later.
What do you think? Are you excited about the return of Criminal Minds?
Very excited about the return of Criminal Minds.
I’m going to have to try and watch swat if it’s got Shemar Moore in it
LOVE this show – only sorry that they have decided to “mine” it for more money by putting it on the streaming service Paramount+ which requires additional charges in order to watch… as much of a fan of Criminal Minds that I am, unfortunately I don’t have the budget to pay for cable service and then keep adding additional “streaming” services to watch shows that I was a faithful fan of for years. So sorry that I will be missing one of my favorite shows of all time–good luck to all though.
I got tired of paying and extra $150.00 for Cable, so I cut the cord (so to speak) and hooked my desktop computer up to my big screen tv and now all I have to pay for is WiFi. And it’s much cheaper to get a few sites like Neflix, Hulu, Paramount, Peacock, Discovery and even Amazon Prime than it is to pay for Cable (and I still save $75.00 a mo.). Plus, if you actually look around there are a lot of sites out there where you can get free (current) tv shows and movies, as well as sports.… Read more »
You can also go directly to most Networks internet sites and find a lot of their content for free. If you goggle “Where can I stream (and the name of the show or movie your looking for) online for free”, it will help you find what your looking for. Cable is too expensive and is becoming a thing of the past. Hope this helps you to save your hard earned money and still be able to watch the shows you love. Good luck !
Great show, so glad it is coming back. Now, if we could just get Major Crimes back also.
Great I love it all the suspense that this show have
Glad to see this show back on my list of favorite series. Looking forward to opening date.
I am SO excited for this! This has been my favorite show since the first episode aired. It will not be the same without Matthew Gray Gubler, as Spencer was one of my favorite characters. Glad Kirsten will be back as this show could not replace her as Garcia. Even though I am so sad about no more Spencer Reid, I will be watching!
Thank God. I love the show and I will be watching it.
Oh! I am delighted that Criminal Minds will be returning (revival!) for another season! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Oh I am so happy. My favorite show. Even though we are loosing some characters I am sure they will find good replacements. i love the show and am very excited.
Omg I’m so happy when it ended I was so sad thank you thank you so much
Yay!!!! My favorite show and actors!! Will miss Matthew and Daniel though! I’m so happy!!!! Thank you!!
My favorite show ever.
why no thomas gibson? i stopped watching it after he left( thank god) paget Brewster wasnt/isnt good enough to lead the team or the show, shes better on the sidelines, and no morgan or Spencer? shame really, ah well, i wont be watching it, neither will other actual fans of the show, bring back the cast from seasons 3-8
Thomas Gibson was fired. If I remember correctly, for assaulting someone on set. The guy who played Morgan is the lead on SWAT. The guy who played Spencer says he doesn’t want to reprise the role (per the article). If you’re really a purist, you’d want Gideon to rise from the dead and bring back the woman who played Elle.
Well said ! I’d love to see Gideon and Elle back as well. Either way I’m glad to see they’re able to bring back most of the cast. I can’t wait !
I’m sorry Mr. Gubler won’t be returning, but I’m SOOOO excited the best tv show EVER is coming back! Thank u all for agreeing to make this old Greek fan ectstatic by coming back!
