  "account": "The long-running CBS program \"Criminal Minds\" concluded its 15-season run in 2020, before embarking on a new chapter with its revival, \"Criminal Minds: Evolution,\" which airs on Paramount+. The upcoming fifth season of the revival will conclude with Season 20, which is scheduled to premiere in 2027. In a statement, showrunner and executive producer Erica Messer expressed gratitude for the show's remarkable cast, writers, directors, and crew, as well as the dedicated fans responsible for the show's enduring success over the past two decades. The revival's final season will bring back many of the original cast members, including Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, RJ Hatanaka, Adam Rodriguez, and Paget Brewster. As the show transitions to its final chapter, Season 19 concluded with a time jump, leaving the BAU's final milestone season open to various possibilities. Season 19 also marked the end of Zach Gilford's character, Voit. The entire collection of \"Criminal Minds\" and \"Evolution\" seasons are currently available for streaming on Paramount+.",
