About ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’

In “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” the FBI’s elite team of criminal profilers come up against their greatest threat yet: an UnSub who has used the COVID-19 pandemic to build a network of other serial killers. As the world opens back up and the 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 the dynamic cast as a recurring guest star in a season-long arc. The first two episodes of season 1 will drop on Nov. 24, with one episode each debuting on subsequent Thursdays.
