What is the show Criminal Minds: Evolution about?
Criminal Minds: Evolution follows the staff of BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) as they must uncover a network of serial killers that were built during the global coronavirus pandemic. It hasn’t even been three complete years since the wind-up of the original show, yet the producers are ready to rock the world once again with their brilliant screenplay and extravagant storyline.
The official trailer released by the team offers a sneak peek into the lives of the officers in the show as they work their way through numerous cases to uncover a continuous series of murders, thus adding the thrill factor to the already popular show.
