Criminal Minds: Evolution Getting the Boot After Season 20

Paramount+ is pulling the plug on Criminal Minds: Evolution after the upcoming 20th season, and the team behind the show made it clear they had way more left in the tank.

This isn't just some quiet cancellation—the cast actually spoke up about it. Their message was consistent: there's still juice in this thing. More cases to crack, more character arcs to explore, more seasons worth making. That's the kind of thing you hear when a show gets cut short before its time, and it stings different when the people doing the work are the ones saying it.

Criminal Minds has been a machine for years, so this move probably caught some folks off guard. A 20-season run is nothing to sneeze at—that's real longevity in the procedural game. But clearly the network and the cast saw the potential for more.

For fans who've been holding it down all these years, season 20 becomes the farewell lap. Whether it'll get the send-off it deserves, we'll see when it airs.
