Much like other long-running TV shows like Grey's Anatomy orLaw & Order, Criminal Minds has been through a lot over the years. From an unexpected cancellation in 2020 to shocking cast exits, the dark crime series has weathered each storm, and still come out the other side. The series, which has been renamed to Criminal Minds: Evolution since being picked up by Paramount+ in 2022, is gearing up for its 19th season on May 28, 2026, and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.
