Criminal Minds is back with a new season – Trailer and what you need to know  

The BAU team’s new cases are darker than ever

Criminal Minds is back with a new, sequel, season and it’s darker than ever thanks to new cases being taken on by the BAU and the fan-favorite team. For 15 seasons, Criminal Minds kept its fans company and after its cancellation in 2019, we quickly learned that it will return for the 16th season , with the majority of the old beloved cast back on the ramparts. 

Meet Criminal Minds: Evolution

The revival-sequel of the well-known police series questions how much worse things have become for serial killers in the midst of a pandemic, which seems to have raised the degree of dangerousness as well as their murderous appetites. Soon the members of the Behavioral Analysis Unit task force realize that they have to deal not with one killer, but with a network of serial killers, created in the midst of COVID-19.
