(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.

Never stop making criminal minds such a popular show and one of the best so please please please don’t ever stop making them and with all the original people one of the best ever
This program is absolutely the most well written and the characters are much accomplished in their acting. All of the characters (actors) have a proclivity to project the talent they have and I will welcome some of the regulars (whomever may be available) to participate in this endeavor. The stories were very entertaining.
For me Criminal minds is only with Hotch. No Hotch no Criminal minds… He was the best character. May be give him a new chanse? I think with Hotch Criminal minds only win!
My favorite show!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see criminal mind revival
My favorite show. Can’t wait for it to come back
In my last comment I meant to say (I really missed it). I inadvertantly used the word never. Really I never missed it!
Positively will watch The Revival and continuing seasons. I never understood why it was cancelled. One of the better shows I’ve watched. I never missed it.
