Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 is completed and, whereas no extra new episodes of the Paramount+ revival will likely be airing on the 2025 TV schedule, there’s nonetheless excellent news. The collection has already been renewed for Season 4, that means the BAU will likely be again for extra adventures sooner or later. The crew will not be alone, both. Zach Gilford’s Elias Voit can also be returning to the fold and, after showrunner Erica Messer teased what’s in retailer for him, I’m excited concerning the promise she made.
Voit has been inflicting hassle for the crew for the reason that begin of Evolution and, regardless of Season 3 lastly transferring again into the unsub-of-the-week format, Voit nonetheless didn’t go away. He stays the one unsub who has been on the present constantly for 3 consecutive seasons, whether or not he’s an asset for the FBI or working towards the group. He’s definitely turn into a personality that viewers like to hate and perhaps even hate to like. On that observe, Messer just lately informed Entertainment Weekly how Voit will likely be concerned in Season 4:
The extra we talked, we thought we had another season to actually discover another stuff with him and the crew. You are going to see him in each episode of season 19. He’s a prisoner once more, however in a really totally different means than he was in season 17. He will likely be a useful resource for us.
So the EP promised that Voit will likely be in each single episode of Season 4, and that is definitely a game-changing growth! That is very true when you think about what he was nonetheless able to in Season 3 when he was within the hospital. Viewers noticed him assist the BAU in a Hannibal Lecter arc whereas in jail, however it feels like issues will likely be totally different transferring ahead.
What makes this all very attention-grabbing is that the crew is aware of what to anticipate from Voit and easy methods to get beneath his pores and skin with the intention to actually use him. Whereas there’s not telling what precisely will likely be in retailer come Season 4, Messer name-dropped a notable serial killer whereas teasing Voit’s additional growth in future episodes:
The trajectory of that character was that he was off the radar, no one even knew he existed as a killer. He actually buried all of his secrets and techniques within the floor. He is now like Ted Bundy, and that is going to get some consideration that he needs he did not have. We have got Voit in custody now as a star, primarily.
At this level, followers are possible conversant in Voit’s twisted nature and manipulative tendencies. He is carried out so many horrible issues, and the BAU has him at their disposal. Nonetheless, it most likely gained’t be really easy attending to to the underside of the numerous secrets and techniques that he holds, together with the main points about this entire serial killer community. Nonetheless, with the character showing in each episode subsequent season, the writers ought to have loads of time to actually dig into the varied features of Voit, which is a prospect that excites me.
Manufacturing on Season 4 of Criminal Minds: Evolution, which is the 19th general season of Criminal Minds, kicked off in Could, with loads of returning stars available. As for any returning visitor stars, that could be a bit trickier, as Messer beforehand defined how sophisticated it’s locking down actors months upfront. Because the producer defined, it is robust to jot down for a selected character (performed by a serious actor) months upfront when you do not know what their schedule will likely be when filming begins.
It would nonetheless be some time till a premiere date for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 4 is introduced however, for proper now, I am simply happy figuring out that Elias Voit’s function is about to develop. In the meantime, followers can stream all seasons of Criminal Minds, together with Evolution, with a Paramount+ subscription now.
