When it comes to enduring series, Criminal Minds certainly fits the bill.
The drama originally ran for 15 seasons, from 2005 to 2020. Instead of fading into obscurity, however, it was quickly revived in 2022. Subtitled Evolution, it continues to draw in viewers. Even better, it shows no signs of slowing down.
Season 19, which premiered in May, is enjoying quite the hype at the moment, in part because of a notable guest star. Connor Storrie from the hit show Heated Rivalry has a recurring role as a narcissist who can be quite charming when required.
While his appearance will likely bring in new fans, is that enough to guarantee that Criminal Minds: Evolution will continue? Here’s what we know so far.
Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 20 Release Date
Luckily, fans of the long-running drama have no reason to worry. Criminal Minds: Evolution season 20 is definitely happening. The show has been renewed ahead of the season 19 premiere.
Moreover, filming is already underway, so we can expect the show to stick to a traditional release schedule. That means the new season will likely arrive in May or June 2027.

What Could Happen in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 20?
Criminal Minds: Evolution revolves around the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). It features a team of skilled profiles who investigate serial killers and other violent offenders.
Unlike the original show’s mostly self-contained cases, the sequel features season-long story arcs. In other words, episodes connect multiple investigations and delve deeper into the personal lives of the team members.
Central to the revival has been the ongoing threat posed by Elias Voit, also known as Sicarius. Besides being guilty of his own share of crimes, Voit establishes a network of serial killers. He is currently in custody, but the network lives on, and the BAU is dealing with the fallout. As for Connor Storrie, he appears in four season 19 episodes as a man with a connection to Voit.
Criminal Minds: Evolution season 20 will likely continue in the same vein, combining standalone cases with twists related to Voit’s dark legacy. For now, you can catch season 19 weekly until late July. In the UK, new episodes are available on Disney+.
