Filming for Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 has officially started. Paramount+’s revival of the CBS police procedural was supposed to start production back in the summer. That being said, the dual Hollywood strikes of 2023 delayed it significantly to this year. There is no word yet when Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 may actually be released, but work on its sophomore year is already quietly progressing.
Penelope Garcia actor Kirsten Vangsness has shared a video of her day on the set as they begin filming for Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2. No story details can be deciphered from the clip as it mainly shows their backstage, including “Baby Girl’s” quirky desk. Interestingly, however, there’s a portion in the video where she enters a door that leads to an apartment that is not part of the FBI offices.
What To Expect From Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2?
Paramount+ already ordered a new season of the series even before the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 finale. This means that showrunner Erica Messer and her team have been crafting more elaborate mysteries that can be tied to the events of the BAU’s case against Sicarius. Between lingering plot lines and subsequent updates released since it wrapped up, there are some great possibilities in terms of what Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 may be about.
The mystery of Gold Star will be an overarching storyline that will continue in the new year for the FBI profilers. Elias Voit’s capture opened the door for so many more questions regarding who or what it really is. Meanwhile, the divisive Tyler Green will also make a comeback, hinting that his affair with Garcia may not be done, or he has something to do with the BAU’s next case. That said, there are continued hopes that he won’t be the only returning face in season 2, with expectations that Matthew Gray Gubler’s Spencer Reid finally shows up.
Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2 Update Shows Exactly How To Reunite Reid With The BAU
A recent social media post from Matthew Gray Gubler suggests the best way to bring Spencer Reid back for Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2.
Ultimately, Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 will likely continue the path that it started when it was originally revived by Paramount+. It will have more darker cases while also tackling the personal lives of the profilers. Beyond that is all up in the air at this point. Thankfully, Vangsness and the cast are more than happy to provide updates about filming via social media.
