June 5, 2024 – Ahead of the new season premiering tomorrow, Paramount+ today announced that CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION has been renewed for an additional season and will go into production later this year.

In the wake of last season’s shocking finale, the upcoming all-new season of CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION picks up as the FBI’s elite team of profilers investigates the deadly mystery of GOLD STAR. As the conspiracy unfolds, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is met with an unexpected complication when serial killer Elias Voit negotiates a deal that transfers him to federal custody in the BAU’s own backyard. The team faces its biggest threat yet and cannot emerge unscathed from the mind-bending consequences.

CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION is produced by ABC Signature and CBS Studios. Erica Messer (Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders) serves as showrunner and executive producer with Breen Frazier, Chris Barbour, Glenn Kershaw and Mark Gordon also executive producing.

The Paramount+ original series CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION debuted last year and is currently available to stream on the service. All 15 seasons of the original Criminal Minds series, which ran from 2005-2020 on CBS, are also available on Paramount+.
