(CBS)
Paramount+ is getting the team back together for a big 10-episode case. The streaming service (which launches on March 4th) has officially revived the Criminal Minds TV series for a 16th season. The crime drama previously ran for 15 years on CBS, concluding in February 2020 after 324 episodes.
Criminal Minds follows the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) out of Quantico, Virginia. The BAU remains dedicated to understanding predators’ motives and triggers, in order to stop them before they strike again. The stories follow the team as they work on various cases while tackling their own personal struggles.
The season 15 cast includes Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook, Aisha Tyler, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, and Daniel Henney. It’s unclear at this point how many of these actors will be returning for the revival.
It’s conceivable that past cast members like Thomas Gibson and Shemar Moore (currently on SWAT) could return in some capacity for the revival. It’s also possible that Criminal Minds could become a regular series again on Paramount+. The show’s future will likely depend on how many people watch the revival.
In addition, the streaming service has also announced the launch of a new true-crime series, The Real Criminal Minds. The show will feature a former real FBI profiler and will examine real cases, and real criminal behavior, illustrated by clips that fans will remember from the fictional series.
There’s no word yet on premiere dates for either series.
What do you think? Do you like the Criminal Minds TV series? Do you plan to watch the revival on the Paramount+ streaming service? Are you interested in the new true-crime series?
I’m watching season 15 I’ve been watching this show for ever I was trying to figure out what I was going to do for relaxing entertainment once it ended, I don’t even watch tv, but this show is everything !!! I’m so excited to hear there will be a continuation I’m all in for some more criminal minds
I live in the UK, and like the tv shows criminal minds, Cold Case, CSI, and all the NCIS franchises, yes some have ended that is sad, but we have a tv show Casualty that’s been going for 30years maybe more and still going strong.
I love CriminalMinds. Please hurry with season 16 ♥️
I can not wait for season 16 I love criminal minds
It should never end. Shows like these that have been on for so long and are part of our lives. I believe they should keep series like these going same as they do with soap operas. Cast and characters change but the premise stays the same. Keep Criminal Minds forever!!!!
I love criminal minds and can’t wait for season 16
Loved The series and can’t wait for this.
I really look forward to being able to see season 16 I have watched every season so far.
I love crimInal minds – watch it most days – please bring it back
Love Criminal Minds would love to see it come back! I have watched them all over and over again. Would like to see as many of the cast members from the last couple seasons back they were just getting a great rapport!
Love Criminal Minds and looking forward to the revival
I loved Criminal Minds. It would be really great to have it back.
This is one of my favorite tv series next to NCIS. I would like to see an episode where the woman victim, damsel in distress, gets loose and kicks the unsubs butt just as the BAU walks in. That would be a great episode
FAVORITE SHOW I SEEN ALLLLL EPISODES AND WATCH THEM OVER EVERY FEW WEEKS MAKE MORE!!!!!
I c ant wait to see the show come back.. I spent months looking for season 13..
