Criminal Minds: Evolution is set for an exciting new chapter as actress Paget Brewster recently shared some promising updates regarding Season 4. The production for Season 3 has officially concluded, leaving fans eager for what’s next. The previous season left viewers in suspense with the dramatic stabbing of Elias Voit, portrayed by Zach Gilford. While showrunner Erica Messer has confirmed Voit’s return for the forthcoming season, speculation remains about the real circumstances surrounding his shocking attack.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Brewster, who embodies Emily Prentiss, announced the end of filming for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3. This latest installment serves as a direct continuation of the original series, effectively designated as Season 18. Brewster expressed optimism regarding the show’s future, stating, “We are optimistic we’ll get a season 19.”

Implications of the Latest Update for Criminal Minds
Anticipate More Updates Early Next Year
The previous season presented various challenges for the BAU team, testing them both mentally and physically. Looking ahead, the show hints at intriguing storylines, including an introduction to Prentiss’ sister. In Season 2’s finale, Prentiss drops a hint about her sibling, suggesting a tumultuous relationship. Additionally, questions loom regarding whether Voit orchestrated his own stabbing.
While the introduction of Prentiss’ sister hasn’t been confirmed, there are notable cast additions on the horizon. Aimee Garcia, known from Lucifer, is set to join the cast as Dr. Julia Ochoa, who will have a multi-episode arc and engage in a dynamic rivalry with Alvez, played by Adam Rodriguez. Moreover, fan favorite Matthew Gray Gubler has confirmed his return as Dr. Spencer Reid for at least one episode.
Dr. Julia Ochoa is portrayed as a leading neuropsychiatrist tasked with guiding a high-profile patient through the recovery from significant brain trauma. Her aggressive approaches will likely clash with Alvez’s methods, introducing yet another layer of tension to the narrative.
As filming concludes, excitement mounts for new developments regarding the crime drama revival, with additional cast announcements and plot updates anticipated soon. Given the series’ historical trajectory, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the show secure an early renewal.
Our Perspective on Criminal Minds’ Renewal Prospects
A Smooth Sailing Season Thus Far
The revival has seen encouraging trends in terms of renewals. The announcement for Season 2 of Criminal Minds: Evolution came just months after the show’s return, while Season 3 was greenlit even before the second season premiered. Still, fans often ponder the longevity of the revival. The original series enjoyed a lengthy legacy, and it remains to be seen if this revival can replicate that success in a changing streaming environment. With fewer episodes and a focused narrative, there’s reason to believe that Paramount+ might continue to support the BAU team.
