Adam Rodriguez is on the case…
Paramount+ has released the trailer for the Criminal Minds reboot, Criminal Minds: Evolution, starring the 47-year-old Puerto Rican and Cuban American actor.
In the official trailer, the profilers are back to investigate a serial killer who kept himself busy during the pandemic by racking up victims and storing them in shipping containers.
The 10-episode season will premiere with two episodes on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24, exclusively on Paramount+. CBS will help boost the drama’s return by airing a special broadcast of the episode on the same day at 10:00 pm ET.
Following the premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays exclusively on Paramount+, with a midseason finale on Thursday, December 15. The season will then return on Thursday, January 12 with all-new episodes dropping weekly through the finale on Thursday, February 9.
Here’s the official logline for the new season: “The FBI’s elite team of criminal profilers come up against their greatest threat yet, an UnSub who has used the pandemic to build a network of other serial killers. As the world opens back up and the network goes operational, the team must hunt them down, one murder at a time.”
In addition to Rodriguez, original cast members continuing their roles in Evolution include Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler and Paget Brewster. Zach Gilford joins the cast as a recurring guest star in a season-long arc.
Criminal Minds: Evolution is produced by ABC Signature and CBS Studios. Erica Messer serves as showrunner, executive producer and writer.
