Criminal Minds revival show in development at Paramount Plus

A revival of the popular police crime series Criminal Minds is currently in development at Paramount Plus. Created by Jeff Davis, Criminal Minds premiered in 2005 and ran for 15 seasons on CBS

Variety reports that the revival, which is in its early stages of production, will bring back longtime showrunner and executive producer Erica Messer.

Criminal Minds revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyse America's most twisted criminal minds and anticipate their next moves before they strike again.

The final season, which aired in 2020, featured Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Matthew Gray Gubler, AJ Cook, Aisha Tyler, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, and Daniel Henney.

Notably, a new streaming service called Paramount Plus, rebranded from CBS All Access, is set to be launched on March 4 in the US. The new service will combine original content with shows from CBS, including Criminal Minds, and other cable outlets MTV, Comedy Central, BET, Paramount Network, and Nickelodeon.
