Criminal Minds: Evolution Paramount+
New Series
The long-running drama Criminal Minds (2005 to 2020) returns in this continuation and expansion of the franchise. In the 10-episode first season, the members of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit come up against their greatest threat yet: an unsub (unknown subject) who has used the pandemic to build a network of other serial killers. As this network goes operational, the team must hunt them down, one murder at a time. Original cast members reprising their roles include Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez and Paget Brewster. Zach Gilford joins as a recurring guest star in a season-long story arc. The first two episodes are available today, and new installments drop Thursdays through Dec. 15. After a hiatus, the series will return with new weekly episodes beginning Jan. 12.
