Criminal Minds Revival Gets November Release Date on Paramount+
And just like that, Criminal Minds fans have something very specific to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Paramount+’s revival of the long-running procedural, dubbed Criminal Minds: Evolution, is set to premiere the first half of its 10-episode season on Thanksgiving Day — Thursday, Nov. 24 — when it will release the first two episodes.
New episodes will release weekly every Thursday through Dec. 15, at which time the series will take a holiday break. The season will then resume on Thursday, Jan. 12, leading to a Feb. 9 finale.
Criminal Minds‘ quasi-Season 16 finds the FBI’s elite team of criminal profilers going up against “their greatest threat yet,” an UnSub who spent the pandemic cultivating a network of other serial killers. Now, with the world opening back up, the UnSub’s network goes operational, and the BAU team must hunt them down, one murder at a time.
The BAU team in question is comprised of veteran cast members Paget Brewster (as Prentiss), Joe Mantegna (Rossi), A.J. Cook (JJ), Kirsten Vangsness (Garcia), Aisha Tyler (Tara) and Adam Rodriguez (Luke). As previously reported, neither OG cast member Matthew Gray Gubler nor Season 10 addition Daniel Henney will be reprising their roles, as Spencer and Matt respectively.
Friday Night Lights vet Zach Gilford, meanwhile, will play the aforementioned season-long baddie, Elias Voit, an operations analyst for a global cyber-security firm who has a dark side and obsession with death.

I can’t wait yasssssssss. I love CM!!!!!
Love the show !! but very disappointed that it’s coming back on Paramont? Many fans are not as fortunate as others to be able to afford another paid subscritpion. Cable rates are out of control to begin with. This was done with Seal Team as well.
I can totally understand the cost thing but I’m rather looking forward to them being on Paramont+ where they will have the opportunity to do more than they could on broadcast tv. I do appreciate that a subscription is easy to get and drop though so I’m not locked into the expense longer than I need to be to watch what I want.
Good for Criminal Minds! Although I like the show, I will not be watching it since I am not paying to subscribe to a streaming service that didn’t have to happen. These networks are out of control with the competition and greed of it all just to watch television. Enjoy everyone!
I CANNOT WAIT!!! I’m bummed Spencer won’t be there but so grateful the show is making a comeback! Maybe if it gets renewed he’ll join for the next season.
Why does CBS even put one show on the network and then it goes over to Paramount +…so unfair to those of who don’t have it….and no it makes me want to subscribe to it, it makes me tune into CBS a lot less often
