It’s been two weeks since Criminal Minds: Evolution‘s eventful Season 18, Episode 10 closed a crucial chapter of Sicarius/Elias Voit’s (Zach Gilford) story, and wouldn’t you know it? We’re already begging for a BAU reunion.

Now that Voit is headed to a supermax prison in Virginia and Sicarius’ network is destroyed, our favorite Criminal Minds: Evolution characters are likely ready for new challenges and cases.

So when will Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Rossi (Joe Mantegna), JJ (A.J. Cook), Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Tara (Aisha Tyler), Luke (Adam Rodriguez), Tyler (Ryan James Hatanaka), and the rest of the team return to screens with new episodes?

Is Criminal Minds: Evolution airing a new episode on Paramount+ this Thursday, July 24? Will there be a Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 19? And if so, when does Criminal Minds: Evolution return with new episodes on Paramount+?

Here’s everything we know about the future of Criminal Minds: Evolution, including Season 19 premiere date info, filming updates, streaming info, and more.

Nope. If fans are hoping to catch a new episode of Criminal Minds: Evolution on Thursday, July 24, they’re out of luck. Why? Well…

Like the first two Paramount+ seasons, Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 consisted of 10 episodes, which means Season 18, Episode 10, “The Disciple,” which premiered on July 10, 2025, served as the finale.

You bet! The BAU will indeed be back. Criminal Minds: Evolution received an early Season 19 renewal from Paramount+ back on March 5, two months before Season 18 premiered on May 8.

Yes! The official Criminal Minds Instagram account shared a photo of the cast on set filming Season 19 on May 30. Since then, cast members including Kirsten Vangsness, Joe Mantegna, and more have shared BTS content on social media. In other words: They are so back!

There’s still no official Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 19 premiere date yet, but considering new episodes on the revival series have aired annually since its 2022 premiere, here’s hoping fans can expect new episodes in 2026. As the release schedule below shows, Paramount+ doesn’t stick to a single release season. So stay tuned for more Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 19 premiere updates.

Looking for a detailed Criminal Minds: Evolution‘s Season 18 finale recap? Decider’s got you covered. The main takeaways heading into Season 19, however, are that The Disciple was unmasked and taken into custody, Voit confessed to Sicarius’ crimes and was headed to lockup in a supermax prison in Virginia, and thanks to his help, the BAU was able to ID and arrest everyone using his network. After three seasons of tracking Sicarius-related unsubs, the team will likely move on to new cases in Season 19, with help from Tyler, who was permanently assigned to help the BAU in the Season 18 finale. In addition to professional developments, Criminal Minds: Evolution will continue to give glimpses into BAU members’ personal lives, as well. So stay tuned for more info!
