The crime drama series 'Criminal Minds: Evolution' will conclude with its 20th season, set to premiere in 2027 on Paramount. The show, which revived the original 'Criminal Minds' after 15 seasons on CBS, has featured returning cast members including Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, and Aisha Tyler. Showrunner Erica Messer expressed gratitude to the cast, crew, and fans for their support over two decades.
