‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’: Will Matthew Gray Gubler, Shemar Moore or Others Return in Season 19?

ITASCA COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 11 – Season 19 focuses on the BAU's weekly cases and Elias Voit's struggle with unwanted notoriety after his confession and life imprisonment, with recurring characters returning, showrunner Erica Messer said.

  • Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 19 is currently filming and will pick up one year after Season 18’s finale, focusing on the BAU’s traditional weekly cases.
  • Season 18 ended with Elias Voit confessing to his crimes, receiving a life sentence, and the BAU dismantling his serial killer network, which will not be revisited in Season 19.
  • Showrunner Erica Messer confirmed recurring characters will return, including A.J. Cook as JJ in every episode, while the season explores the aftermath of Voit’s story and team dynamics.
  • Messer noted that Voit has become widely known to the public, comparing the intense media coverage to the attention Ted Bundy received, and emphasized that Voit is now infamous in a way that brings unwanted notoriety.
  • Season 19 suggests a shift toward healing for the BAU with Voit facing unwanted fame and the team confronting new cases without returning to Voit’s dissolved network.
