The BAU is back and ready to go Wheels Up for it’s 19th season. After 15 seasons on CBS, and a short Hiatus, Criminal Minds: Evolution returns for its 4th season on Parmount+, marking its 19th season overall, and soon to be 20th with its signed renewal for return in 2027.
The hunt for serial killers hasn’t changed, but the variety of Unsubs this season will make you question if you really know the person living next door. This season is set to up the ante with a whole new batch of serial killers finding their prey across the states, and continuing to broaden the terror set in motion by the “Sicarius” Shadow Network. Leading the charge again will be your favorite profilers David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) & Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) as well as Jarreau, Alvez, Lewis and Garcia (A.J. Cook, Adam Rodriguez, Aisha Tyler & Kirsten Vangsness). Season 19 will pick up right where the BAU left off, and dive deeper into the minds and extensive reach of the “Sicarius” Shadow Network that was originated by returning psychopathic serial killer, turned FBI “Frienemy” Elias Voit (Zach Gifford).
Will the team be able to trust the former mastermind (Voit) and use his psychopathic prowess to help take down the serials killers he once helped foster into existence? Or will the influence of Sicarius continue to breed a new class of even more dangerous psychopaths that leave the BAU struggling keep up? You’ll have to tune in, Thursday, May 28th to see what’s in store for the BAU.
Season 19 Premieres on on Paramount+ on May 28th, 2026.
