Fans of "Criminal Minds: Evolution" hoping for a new episode this week will be disappointed, as the series will not air new content on Thursday, July 30, 2026. The Season 19 finale, which concluded the storyline involving Elias Voit (Zach Gilford), aired on July 23, 2026.
Paramount+ has, however, granted the show an early renewal for Season 20, which was announced in March 2026, ahead of the Season 19 premiere. Production for the upcoming season is already underway, though Zach Gilford, who portrayed Voit, has confirmed he is not part of the ongoing filming. His character was last seen transferred to a high-security federal penitentiary.
While an official premiere date for "Criminal Minds: Evolution" Season 20 has not yet been released, new seasons have typically premiered annually since 2022. Past seasons have generally run from May through July. Season 19 consisted of 10 episodes, bringing the total episode count for the Paramount+ iteration to 30. The series continues to explore the personal lives of the BAU team members alongside their investigations. The most recent season concluded with the BAU being assigned a new case involving unidentified body parts delivered to FBI field offices across the country.
