Criminal Minds is an American police procedural drama television series that premiered on CBS on September 22, 2005. The series follows a team of profilers from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) based in Quantico, Virginia. The BAU is part of the FBI National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime. The show differs from many procedural dramas by focusing on profiling the criminal, called the unsub or "unknown subject", rather than the crime itself. The series follows special agents Dr. Spencer Reid, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, Penelope Garcia, Emily Prentiss, David Rossi, Dr. Tara Lewis, Luke Alvez, and Matt Simmons as they try to profile the unsub. Other former characters are Elle Greenaway, Jason Gideon, Jordan Todd, Ashley Seaver, Dr. Alex Blake, Kate Callahan, Derek Morgan, Aaron Hotchner and Stephen Walker.
In January 2019, CBS renewed the series for a fifteenth, and initially final, season.[1] In February 2021, Paramount+ announced that Criminal Minds would return with a sixteenth season, titled Criminal Minds: Evolution, which debuted on November 24, 2022 and contained 10 episodes. In January 2023, Evolution was renewed for another season.[2]
As of February 9, 2023,[update] 334 episodes of Criminal Minds have been released, concluding the sixteenth season.
