What was once the most-watched series on television is now in development for a revival. Will it be as good as the original?
The “criminal minds revival cast” is a show that has been in development for a while. The show is still in production, and it will be coming back to television soon.
The popular CBS series Criminal Minds ended in 2020, but less than a year later, ViacomCBS streaming service Paramount+ announced that a comeback was in the works. There have been little updates since then on what shape this new series would take, but only months after the new show was revealed, franchise actress Paget Brewster devastated fans’ hearts by stating that she felt the project was dead and not going ahead. Cut to today, when the streamer confirmed that the program is still going on during the Paramount+ day at TCA.
Tanya Gills, the chief programming officer at Paramount+, addressed the issue at the executive session, saying: “‘Criminal Minds’ is still in its early stages of production. We’ll have more to say about it shortly, but it’s still going strong.” Nicole Clemens, the streamer’s head of original scripted programs, clarified with Variety after the event, saying they weren’t sure why Brewster made the assertion she did. “Things ebb and flow in this world… As I previously said, I arrived in the summer, so it took me a while to get ready and figure out, “What are we doing?” There isn’t a secret monster under the ocean. It’s just recently begun its process, so it’s still in the works… We’ve always believed having ‘Criminal Minds’ on the service is a terrific idea, and that hasn’t changed.”
The unexpected interest in a comeback of a program that had been on the air for 15 seasons and had just been off for a year has never been explained, but the streaming content arms race might be where it all began. There was no Paramount+ (or its predecessor, CBS All Access) streaming service when Criminal Minds premiered on broadcast, giving Netflix the option to adapt the program to their own platform, where it rapidly became (and still is!) a huge success. Because of the agreement in place at the time, fresh seasons of the show were regularly released on Netflix, leaving Paramount+ without its greatest success for quite some time.
As of this writing, you can still watch 12 of Criminal Minds’ 15 seasons on Netflix, but the whole series is only available on Paramount+. If the resurrection succeeds, it would cement the status of Paramount+ as the main destination for Criminal Minds aficionados.
In Criminal Brains, an expert team of FBI profilers examines the country’s most twisted criminal minds, predicting their next actions before they attack again. Each member of the “mind hunter” team contributes their unique skills to detect predator motives and emotional triggers in order to stop them. An official profiler who is exceptionally competent at getting into the brains of criminals, a quirky genius, the former media liaison who manages to reconcile work and family life, and a computer wizard make up the core group.
Matthew Gray Gubler, Shemar Moore, Kirsten Vangsness, A.J. Cook, Paget Brewster, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez, Thomas Gibson, and Joe Mantegna were among the cast members.
The “criminal minds cast” is a show that was originally on the air from 2005-2012. It has been revived by Paramount+ in development.
