A Criminal Minds revival is still in active development at Paramount+ and appears to be getting closer to a greenlight. Six stars of the cancelled CBS series — Joe Mantegna, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, A.J. Cook, Aisha Tyler, and Paget Brewster — are all working on deals to return for potentially more than one year. At this point, Matthew Gray Gubler and Daniel Henney are not returning.
Paramount+ is currently working on a deal with Erica Messer – the executive producer and showrunner of the original series on CBS. Once that deal is locked in place, contracts with the cast will move forward, per Deadline. A license agreement between Paramount+ and the show’s studios — ABC Signature and CBS Studios — for 10 new episodes has already been worked out.
The series follows the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) out of Quantico, Virginia. The original series aired for 15 seasons before ending in 2020.
Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series, spoke about the Criminal Minds revival at the TCA press tour earlier this week. She said:
“We are still very much in development on Criminal Minds. We’ll have more to share on that soon but it is alive and well.”
What do you think? Are you excited about the return of Criminal Minds? Would you like to see more than one new season?
Yes! Brilliant programme. I have watched every episode. Fingers crossed it returns.
Yes Please bring back Criminal Minds. It is a great show but we need Spencer Reid back also. He is the boy Genius that everyone counts on. Show wouldn’t be the same without him. We would be wondering where is Reid ??? He has to come back. Excited to see the show returning. Please get him back !!!!
Yes bring it back. They’re not even playing reruns on ION TV anymore:(
believe WE & Sundance still plays CM sometimes in order unlike ION used to do
Yesssssssssssssss!!!!!
I can’t wait for it to come back
Yes please please bring Criminal Minds back my favorite crime show ever I’ve watched every single episode over and over. Would love love to see new ones.
Yes,can’t wait. My favorite crime drama. I wish it would cone back permanently. Please!!!
Never should have been taken off the air,!!
So happy It might be back I loved it but, it won’t be the same with Matthew Gray Gubler “Spencer Reid”. He is my favourite person in the whole show.
I loved Criminal Minds. Please bring it back. But Matthew Gray Gubler “Spencer ” needs to have a part in it. Also Kristen Vangsness “Gracia”. Without them it’s not worth it. Wouldn’t mind seeing Shemar Moore even if it’s only once.
Omg! Yes!!! Criminal Minds Best Show Ever! Spencer Reid is a MUST. Please come back Spence please.
I am so excited to have the show back. I would love for Spencer to decide that we all really love him and he will come back as well he is a big part of the show.
Yes. Luv my criminal minds group. want them back. Glad they want 2 come back. Thank u all.
I loved that show. Please bring it back but we need Spence. Watch all the seasons again was sad when it went off. Bring it back for as many seasons as you can.
One of my favorite shows on tv. Bring them back if possible.
