Paramount+ just dropped a massive bombshell for Criminal Minds fans, and trust us, you’ll want to cancel your plans for this. The hit revival series Criminal Minds: Evolution has officially been renewed for Season 4—BEFORE Season 3 even premieres! But wait, there’s more: Paramount+ also announced the high-stakes Season 3 premiere date, and it’s closer than you think.
The nail-biting news came straight from Paramount+ during their upfront presentation, confirming that the gritty Criminal Minds reboot isn’t slowing down. Season 3 will debut on October 10, 2024, with new episodes dropping weekly. And with Season 4 already greenlit, fans can breathe easy knowing the BAU’s most twisted cases are far from over.
Showrunner Erica Messer teased, “We’re taking the team into darker, uncharted territory. Season 3 is packed with a villain so cunning, he’ll make every past unsub look tame. And Season 4? Let’s just say… the evolution isn’t over.”
What’s coming in Season 3? The official logline hints at a chilling “global conspiracy” that forces the Behavioral Analysis Unit to partner with unlikely allies—including a rogue tech genius with ties to Elias Voit (the Gold Star mastermind). Meanwhile, tensions between Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) and David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) hit a boiling point as personal secrets threaten to shatter the team.
But here’s the kicker: Season 4 is already in early development, with filming set to begin this fall. Insiders say the next chapter will dive into unresolved mysteries from Season 3, including a jaw-dropping cliffhanger involving Voit’s hidden network.
Fans are losing it online, with tweets like “PARAMOUNT+ JUST SAVED 2025” and “GIVE ME ALL THE GORE AND TWISTS!” trending worldwide.
Mark your calendars: Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 premieres October 10, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+. And with Season 4 confirmed, the BAU’s deadliest game is just getting started.
