When Does ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ Season 18 Premiere On Paramount+?

Criminal Minds: Evolution is back, and though the BAU finally solved the Gold Star mystery, Elias Voit’s (Zach Gilford) connection to deadly cases continues — even after he was attacked in prison.

When we last left the Paramount+ series, it wasn’t exactly clear if Voit was still alive, but ahead of Criminal Minds: Evolution‘s return, the serial killer’s status is certain.

Per Paramount+’s official synopsis, “Season 18 of Criminal Minds: Evolution picks up six months after prisoners attack the notorious Sicarius Killer, Elias Voit, leading his restless followers on the dark web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. In order to stop this nefarious group from killing more innocents, the BAU is forced to work alongside an increasingly unpredictable Voit who has his own agenda.”

So there you have it! Rossi (Joe Mantegna), Prentiss (Paget Brewster), JJ (A.J. Cook), Luke (Adam Rodriguez), Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Tyler (Ryan-James Hatanaka), and the rest of Criminal Minds: Evolution‘s core characters haven’t seen the last of Voit yet. And with Matthew Gray Gubler confirmed to return to the BAU as Dr. Spencer Reid in Season 18, there’s lots to look forward to.
