Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3 is finished 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, which means the BAU will likely be again for extra adventures sooner or later. The staff will not be alone, both. Zach Gilford’s Elias Voit can 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 staff 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 towards the group. He’s definitely change into a personality that viewers like to hate and perhaps even hate to like. On that notice, Messer just lately instructed Entertainment Weekly how Voit will likely be concerned in Season 4:
The extra we talked, we thought we had another season to essentially discover another stuff with him and the staff. You are going to see him in each episode of season 19. He’s a prisoner once more, however in a really completely different manner 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 improvement! 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 completely different transferring ahead.
What makes this all very fascinating is that the staff is aware of what to anticipate from Voit and how you can get below his pores and skin with a purpose 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 improvement 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 Voit in custody now as a star, primarily.
At this level, followers are probably 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 received’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 complete serial killer community. Nonetheless, with the character showing in each episode subsequent season, the writers ought to have loads of time to essentially dig into the assorted elements of Voit, which is a prospect that excites me.
Manufacturing on Season 4 of Criminal Minds: Evolution, which is the 19th total season of Criminal Minds, kicked off in Might, with loads of returning stars available. As for any returning visitor stars, that could be a bit trickier, as Messer beforehand defined how difficult it’s locking down actors months prematurely. Because the producer defined, it is robust to write down for a particular character (performed by a significant actor) months prematurely when you do not know what their schedule will likely 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 position is about to develop. In the meantime, followers can stream all seasons of Criminal Minds, together with Evolution, with a Paramount+ subscription now.
