Exciting news for Criminal Minds fans! Ahead of the upcoming release of Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 on May 8, 2025, Paramount+ has dropped an update about the future of the crime drama series: Criminal Minds: Evolution has been renewed for Season 4 by Paramount+, per Deadline.
With Paramount+ renewing the show, the new season will overall be the 19th for Criminal Minds, originally a CBS series. Not much else is known about the new season yet, but fans can expect exciting updates soon.
In December 14, 2024, Paget Brewster shared optimism about the series being renewed for another season. She wrote on X,
"Criminal Minds Wraps season 18 tonight. We are optimistic we'll get a season 19. Thank you all for your incredible support over these many years. We want more. More of you with us. Happy Holidays. We love you and thank you."
With a bunch of police procedural shows getting cancelled for the season, including CBS's FBI spin-offs, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, the renewal of Criminal Minds: Evolution should delight fans of the genre.
Criminal Minds is an American procedural crime series that was created by Jeff Davis and originally aired on CBS from 2005 to 2020. The plot is based on the FBI profilers in the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit), who are tasked to investigate criminals by analyzing their behavior. The series offers an interesting perspective to both victim and criminal mindsets. After CBS dropped the show in the fifteenth season, Paramount picked it up.
Paramount+ retitled the show to Criminal Minds: Evolution and the first season aired on November 24, 2022. After a successful two season run, Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 is all set to return in summer this year on Paramount+.
