Paramount+ announced today that Criminal Minds: Evolution has been renewed for a fourth season. The pickup is an early one, coming before the release of Season 3, which will now know will be May 8 exclusively on the platform.

The series serves as a continuation of the original 'Criminal Minds' that aired between 2005 and 2020 on CBS. Today's renewal is for Season 19 overall across both shows. The format of Criminal Minds: Evolution differs from the original in that a single case is investigated over the course a season rather than a case being solved during each episode.

The upcoming Season 3 will pick 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.
