Paramount+ announced today that a revival of Criminal Minds is being planned, with longtime showrunner Erica Messer at the helm. The news comes just one year after the long-running procedural drama wrapped its 15-year run.

The series aired between 2005 and 2020 on CBS and was a consistently-solid performer in the network's prime time lineup. Its impressive run reached a total of 324 episodes - an incredible feat by any standard.

Not too much is known about the Criminal Minds revival at this point, but it is said to include potentially all of the cast from its final season. Word is they will be investigating a single case across 10 episodes. No time frame for its release has been revealed.

Of course, no one does crime procedurals like @CBS. #ParamountPlus will have a huge library of fan-favorites, including all 15 seasons of @CrimMinds_CBS. Plus a new scripted #CriminalMinds series and a new true crime series, The Real Criminal Minds. pic.twitter.com/0IqxyBgQEQ
