How to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 in the UK
The team at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit are back.
Hit American police procedural Criminal Minds returned for a new reboot series, called Criminal Minds: Evolution, back in 2022, and now a second season of the reboot is just around the corner.
The new episodes will pick up just two weeks after the end of the second season, which saw Elias Voit being captured – however, that doesn't mean his reign of terror is over.
Speaking with TVLine, showrunner Erica Messer said of the serial killer: "This season, we get to play into probably his greatest weapon, which is his mind. He gets to really flex that in front of the team. We’ve never been able to have a killer in custody like this, somebody that we have to consult with. It is an evolution of what our heroes have had to do in the past."
