Joe Mantegna stars in “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” which begins streaming Thursday on Paramount+.

BY JAY BOBBIN

‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ revives myster y series

“Criminal Minds” is back but if you ask its stars, it never should have left.

The mystery centering on the cases of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit ended its 15-season CBS run in 2020, and since then, it has remained popular in repeats on cable networks and streaming services. As a result, the show returns with most of its regular cast members when “Criminal Minds: Evolution” begins streaming Thursday, Nov. 24, on Paramount+. CBS also will run the first episode that night. (In Canada, the drama is coming to Disney+, where episodes of the original series are available now.)

The BAU agents have many unsubs (or unknown subjects) to pursue this time, thanks to an enemy, played by recurring guest star Zach Gilford (“Friday Night Lights”) who has utilized the coronavirus pandemic to assemble a network of serial killers.

Mantegna and Paget Brewster) again lead the charge against evildoers, with A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler and Adam Rodriguez also reprising their roles. (Matthew Gray Gubler and Daniel Henner haven’t returned for the revival.)

“We never wanted to go away to begin with,” executive producer Erica Messer confirms. “We knew that there were plenty of stories to tell, and that’s one of the things. You can sort of feel behind the scenes if a show is lagging or, creatively, the scripts aren ’ t hitting. And because we ’ re telling stories of good and evil, it’s kind of endless.”

Mantegna, Cook, Tyler and Rodriguez also get to direct on “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” as they did on the first series. “I’ve always been a defender of the fact that our show gave that realistic aspect to what these real men and women do,” says Mantegna. “Very often, we hear, ‘Don’t you get nightmares?’ or, oesn ’ t it disturb you to do this show?’ It doesn’t disturb me at all because when they say ‘Cut,’ that person lying there with the ax in his head pops up goes over to craft services and gets a sandwich.

“The ones I worry about,” Mantegna adds, “are real men and women of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies around the world who have eally do this for a living. What I love about our w is that we show it like it is, and I think that’s important.”

Though streaming offers more leeway for adult content and language than broadcast television, esser notes she’s aware that the “Criminal Minds” base includes teenagers, thus she “ never wanted to go into full, like, R-rated extra violence or anything that would suddenly feel like a very different series. You just get to live and breathe in this space, it can be a disturbing space to live in.”
