Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Adds Former Lucifer Star To Cast

As a seasoned gamer of crime-drama series, I can honestly say that the return of Criminal Minds: Evolution is like finding a long-lost friend who has just come back from a thrilling adventure! The cast, the plot, and the suspense – it’s all too familiar yet excitingly fresh. Aimee Garcia joining the team as Dr. Julia Ochoa adds another layer of intrigue to an already captivating storyline.


During the summer months, the second season of “Criminal Minds: Evolution” premiered on Paramount+, rapidly gaining popularity on their streaming platform. Following 15 seasons of the original crime drama, many of the original cast members and a few new additions banded together to produce this series. The show was recently renewed for season 18 in June, with a sneak peek at the upcoming season already made available. As reported by Deadline, Aimee Garcia (known from “Lucifer” and “Dexter”) will portray Dr. Julia Ochoa, a talented neuropsychiatrist who has been tasked with assisting a high-profile client in recovering from his trauma caused by brain injuries.

At the conclusion of season 17, Elias Voit is transferred into the common prison population, ultimately resulting in him getting stabbed and severely beaten. This scenario mirrors Garcia’s character quite well, as she seems destined for conflict with Alvez (Adam Rodriguez) regarding their treatment methods. Expressing her enthusiasm, Garcia posted on Instagram, “Thrilled to be a part of this outstanding team!” She then added another screenshot, captioned, “When you’re a fan… and are invited to the party.

17th season finds the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) following the events of Season 1’s dramatic finale, where agent Voit was arrested by the FBI for murdering deputy director Bailey. Meanwhile, Tyler Green continues working with the team. This time, they are investigating a deadly enigma called Gold Star. As the story progresses, the BAU encounters an unforeseen problem when serial killer Elias Voit strikes a deal to be transferred to federal custody within their own jurisdiction. The team faces its most formidable challenge yet, and they may not escape unscathed from the intricate repercussions that follow.

The production for the 18th season of “Criminal Minds: Evolution” is underway, with original cast members Kirsten Vangsness, A.J. Cook, Joe Mantegna, Rodriguez, Aisha Tyler, Paget Brewster, and Ryan-James Hatanaka set to reprise their roles.

…”We’re incredibly excited to continue the show on Paramount+, and there are multiple reasons for our enthusiasm. To put it simply, this isn’t just another season of ‘Criminal Minds,’ but rather a fresh take known as ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution.’ This means that while it retains some elements from the original series, it offers new opportunities to delve into the characters and their relationships with the audience.
