It’s been more than a year since Criminal Minds: Evolution aired its Season 1 finale on Paramount+, Zach Gilford’s Elias Voit sent shivers down our spines, and Joe Mantegna’s David Rossi had a terrifying brush with death, but at long last, the Criminal Minds revival series is finally returning.
Per Paramount+, “In the wake of last season’s shocking finale, the upcoming all-new season 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.”
