America’s favorite crime show is back Wednesday, October 3, and fans of the fictionalized Behavioral Analysis Unit are excited to see the fourteenth season of the crime drama unfold. Criminal Minds premiered thirteen years ago in 2005, serving as a beacon of consistency among network crime shows that seem to be mainstays of modern television. The season 14 premiere, appropriately titled “300,” is the three hundredth episode of the drama that has produced quality suspense and action throughout its entire run. The season 13 finale left fans with a cliffhanger in which Reid and Garcia find themselves in dire circumstance. “300” has a simple description: “Penelope is the victim of an abduction.”
Matthew Gray Gubler (Dr. Spencer Reid), Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia), and Joe Mantegna (David Rossi) headline the cast of season 14. Criminal Minds has had other high profile cast members, many of whom have left the show or been killed off. Leading man Thomas Gibson (Aaron ‘Hotch’ Hotchner) left the show in 2016 in the middle of season 12 after creative disputes with the studio. Shemar Moore (Derek Morgan) became a household name for his role in Criminal Minds, and this helped him get on his new CBS show S.W.A.T.
Season 14 will be several episodes shorter than the previous thirteen seasons, moving from 20+ episodes to just 15. Showrunner Erica Messer sees this as a positive, allowing for more character driven plotlines and better looks into the lives of the heroes rather than the criminals. Messer said, “We felt like the audience is always asking for more about the heroes, so we wanted to give them that.”
Check out the details of the premiere below to see where, when, and how to watch the season premiere of Criminal Minds.
