Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 is also known by some as Criminal Minds season 16. It focuses on the same characters as the original show, although not every cast member returned. When Evolution premiered, it starred Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Paget Brewster and Adam Rodriguez.
Evolution season 2 (or Criminal Minds season 17) premiered in June 2024.
