According to The Hollywood Reporter, Criminal Minds: Evolution is set to conclude after its 20th season on Paramount+. This will be the 20th season, and fifth since it adopted the Evolution subtitle upon moving to Paramount+, will be its last. The final season is set to premiere in 2027.

“It’s hard to put into words what Criminal Minds has meant to all of us who have been fortunate enough to be part of this extraordinary journey, first on CBS for 15 seasons and then on Paramount+ for five,” showrunner and executive producer Erica Messer said in a statement via The Hollywood Reporter. “While suddenly navigating the end of this chapter, I’m filled with gratitude for our remarkable cast, writers, directors and crew who have poured their hearts into this show, and for the incredible fans around the world whose unwavering loyalty has kept Criminal Minds going for two decades. We’re looking forward to sharing season 20 with everyone, and celebrating the legacy of this special show we’ve all built together.”

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the series ran for more than 300 episodes from 2005-20 on CBS and eventually created two short-term spinoffs, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. The network ended the show after season 15, but a year later, Paramount+ revived it with the Evolution tag. Ever since it joined the streaming site, the series has become more serialized, with story arcs spanning full seasons.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series stars Joe Mantegna (Thinner, House of Games), A.J. Cook (Higher Ground, The Virgin Suicides), Kirsten Vangsness (Dave Made a Maze, In My Sleep), Aisha Tyler (Bedtime Stories, Ball of Fury) and RJ Hatanaka (When Hope Calls, I Can I Will I Did), with Adam Rodriguez (Magic Mike, I Can Do Bad All by Myself) and Paget Brewster (Community, Huff).

As per The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Television and CBS Studios produce the series. Messer executive produces with Breen Frazier, Chris Barbour, Glenn Kershaw, Stacey Hardt and Mark Gordon.
