After years of fan requests and teases, Criminal Minds is bringing back one of its most beloved characters—Dr. Spencer Reid. Fans have waited patiently (and sometimes desperately) for Matthew Gray Gubler to reprise his iconic role, and the time has finally come. So, why is Reid making his return after such a long hiatus? Let’s dive into the real reasons behind this highly anticipated comeback and what fans can expect!

For over 15 seasons, Dr. Spencer Reid wasn’t just the genius of the BAU—he was the heart of Criminal Minds. With his impressive IQ, impeccable profiling skills, and social awkwardness, Reid became the show’s emotional anchor. Fans couldn’t get enough of his quirky, yet endearing personality, and it wasn’t just his brilliance that made him unforgettable—it was his vulnerability and emotional depth.
From battling addiction to dealing with the traumatic loss of Maeve Donovan, Reid's journey was full of heart-wrenching twists and turns.
But after the original Criminal Minds ended and the reboot began, Reid’s absence left a massive void. The BAU team had to cope without his insightful commentary and fast-paced, awkward charm. The return of Reid is not just about nostalgia; it’s about giving fans a chance to reconnect with a character who has become part of their TV family.
