After 16 seasons of unforgettable criminal cases and heart-wrenching drama, Criminal Minds is entering a new era with the highly anticipated spinoff, Criminal Minds: Evolution. As the BAU team adapts to a changing world, fans are buzzing with questions: Who’s staying? Who’s leaving? And what fresh twists are coming our way? Let’s dive deep into the thrilling future of Criminal Minds—and the jaw-dropping new direction the show is heading!
