Criminal Minds Fans Expecters Cheer as Spencer Reid Makes Surprising Return

Actor Matthew Gray Gubler is set to reprise his character, Spencer Reid, in an upcoming episode of the series. Fans can look forward to his comeback during a critical juncture when Spencer’s involvement becomes indispensable for the show.

In a recent chat with, some of the stars from the show “Criminal Minds: Evolution” spoke about Matthew Gray Gubler’s comeback as Spencer. While they didn’t reveal the exact details of how his character reappears, Aisha Tyler (Lewis) hinted at it being like a “get-together for the family.” Adam Rodriguez (Alvez) hinted that it would be thrilling for viewers and equally exciting for the cast to have Gubler back on set.

Rodriguez expressed, “You’ll recognize him, and when I speak, it brings joy to see him. I believe everyone will enjoy seeing him too, and we all cherished the moments he spent with us. It was wonderful to meet him in person, and I think it will also be delightful for the fans to catch a glimpse of him again.

Kirsten Vangsness (Garcia) discussed when Spencer’s major comeback occurs. She mentioned that it felt right for this to take place, considering the plot development required the character to resurface following an incident that could “dramatically disrupt the setting.” However, a possible drawback might be that viewers may crave more, as Spencer’s appearance is only in a guest role.

One reason people adore ‘Criminal Minds’ is not only for its chilling, terrifying, and eerie elements, but also for the family-like dynamic among the characters and the sense of community they’ve fostered. When events threaten this environment, it becomes like an Avengers assembly, amplifying the impact. So his presence in such crucial, life-altering moments was essential and I believe fans will appreciate it. After all, who wouldn’t want more of that delightful character?

Spencer Reid’s Return Is Coming Up in Criminal Minds: Evolution

In the most recent installment of the series, fans might speculate if this is the significant occasion that brings back Spencer. There’s a chance he could show up for a scene commemorating a deceased character, given Vangsness’ comments. However, it’s also plausible that Spencer’s reappearance could occur after another major event on the program hasn’t been specified yet, so viewers should stay tuned to find out. The exact episode in which Spencer will be featured is still unclear at present.

Criminal Minds: Evolution is streaming on Paramount+ with new episodes dropping on Thursdays.
