Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 is finished and, whereas no extra new episodes of the Paramount+ revival can be airing on the 2025 TV schedule, there’s nonetheless excellent news. The sequence has already been renewed for Season 4, that means the BAU can be again for extra adventures in some unspecified time in the future. The workforce 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 bother for the workforce because the 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 persistently for 3 consecutive seasons, whether or not he’s an asset for the FBI or working in opposition to the group. He’s definitely turn out to be a personality that viewers like to hate and perhaps even hate to like. On that observe, Messer lately instructed Entertainment Weekly how Voit can be concerned in Season 4:
The extra we talked, we thought we had yet one more season to actually discover another stuff with him and the workforce. You are going to see him in each episode of season 19. He’s a prisoner once more, however in a really completely different means than he was in season 17. He can be a useful resource for us.
So the EP promised that Voit can 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, but it surely appears like issues can be completely different transferring ahead.
What makes this all very attention-grabbing is that the workforce is aware of what to anticipate from Voit and find out how to get underneath his pores and skin with a view to actually use him. Whereas there’s not telling what precisely can 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 person 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 Voit in custody now as a star, basically.
At this level, followers are doubtless acquainted with Voit’s twisted nature and manipulative tendencies. He is achieved 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 various secrets and techniques that he holds, together with the small print 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 assorted 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 Might, with loads of returning stars readily available. As for any returning visitor stars, which may be a bit trickier, as Messer beforehand defined how difficult it’s locking down actors months prematurely. Because the producer defined, it is powerful to put in writing for a selected character (performed by a significant actor) months prematurely when you do not know what their schedule can be when filming begins.
It’d nonetheless be some time till a premiere date for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 4 is introduced however, for proper now, I am simply glad 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.
