While suddenly navigating the end of this chapter, I\u2019m filled with gratitude for our remarkable cast, writers, directors and crew who have poured their hearts into this show, and for the incredible fans around the world whose unwavering loyalty has kept \u2018Criminal Minds\u2019 going for two decades. We\u2019re looking forward to sharing Season 20 with everyone, and celebrating the legacy of this special show we\u2019ve all built together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several attempts were made at spin-offs with \u201cCriminal Minds: Suspect Behavior\u201d scrapped after one season and \u201cCriminal Minds: Beyond Borders\u201d after two.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TV Line<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount+ After more than two decades, \u201cCriminal Minds\u201d is coming to an end.
