Paramount+’s Criminal Minds revival has been renewed for another season, it was officially announced on Wednesday morning. The good news comes a day ahead of the crime drama’s double-episode Season 17 premiere (streaming Thursday, June 6).
Last season on Criminal Minds (aka Evolution ), the BAU’s elite profilers — Emily Prentiss (played by Paget Brewster), David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), “JJ” Jareau (A.J. Cook), Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez) — went up against Elias Voit ( Friday Night Lights ‘ Zach Gilford), an UnSub who had spent the COVID pandemic cultivating a network of serial killers.
Season 2 picks up just two weeks after the events of that finale, as the team investigates “Gold Star,” the mysterious entity Voit used to bait FBI Deputy Director Bailey, whom he then killed. As that conspiracy unfolds, Prentiss & Co. are met with an unexpected complication when Voit negotiates a deal that transfers him to federal custody, right in the BAU’s own backyard.
