The good news: Expect some joy from Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 19 after the Bau suffered a lot of loss this past year. For example, Tara and Rebecca (Nicole Pacent), who ended Season 18 engaged, are happy, Aisha Tyler told TV Insider. But that doesn’t mean that the Bau isn’t still going to have to deal with their Voit problem. Zach Gilford debuted as the serial killer Elias Voit (a.k.a. Sicarius) in Season 16, with a network of like-minded individuals. Before the end of that season, he’d kidnapped and trapped Rossi (Joe Mantegna) in a storage unit. Then, in Season 17, he had knowledge of Gold Star, the next Big Bad. At the end of that season, he was attacked in prison. Season 18 began with Voit in a coma as a result, then when he woke, he was changed. He had amnesia and brain scans showed he was no longer a psychopath.

The past few days have been pretty rough for the Bau, who almost lost one of their own —again in the latest episode of Criminal Minds Season 18. Titled “Tara,” Episode 8 saw the titular character, portrayed by Aisha Tyler, undergo surgery after getting shot twice in a car park ambush in the previous episode. Fortunately, she pulled through. With this second chance at life, she wasted no time in proposing to her girlfriend Rebecca (Nicole Pacent) in the presence of her “chosen family,” her team members, who, of course, gave their blessings.

Discussing the episode with EW, Tyler addressed the possibility of Criminal Minds Season 18 ever veering in the direction of killing off a major character like hers. She noted that while she had no idea if such would still happen, “there’s only so many deaths one can take in a season.” The actress then mentioned real-life profilers who have had many run-ins with death,...

This post contains spoilers from Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 episode 8.

Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 episode 7 wreaked havoc from all angles. The Uncle Cyrus deepfake failed to turn Voit evil, but succeeded in breaking Penelope’s spirit when a keystroke results in a victim’s death. If Sicarius Spiders didn’t scare us enough, Tara lying unconscious with bullet wounds gutted fans. I’m still in shambles as the pain continues in episode 8 with Tara fighting for her life.

Episode 8 dove headfirst into Tara’s grief and discovered she had closed herself off from love and commitment after losing her mom to cancer. Fans learned more about Tara than ever before while sobbing over her impending battle. Meanwhile, the Bau was pulling an all-nighter to uncover answers on Tara’s shooting by the disciple known as Mr. Lonely Heart (who ironically was kicked off the network while Voit was running it). With each new clue,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Episode 8 “Tara.”] “It’s always interesting when you get a script that has your character’s name on the front,” Aisha Tyler says with a laugh. “You’re always like, ‘What’s going to happen?!'” After the previous episode ended with her character, Dr. Tara Lewis, getting shot, the Thursday, June 26, one sees her in surgery, then unconscious in the hospital while, in her mind, she speaks with her mother (Latanya Richardson Jackson), who died when she was young. Their conversations — “You’re a high-functioning overachiever who became a fixer to avoid grief, but unprocessed heartbreak like yours weighs you down,” her mom warns — lead Tara to, once she’s recovering and out of the hospital, propose to her girlfriend, Rebecca (Nicole Pacent), while at the Bau for a visit. Below, Aisha Tyler opens up about getting to explore a different side of Tara, that proposal,...

Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 episode 6 gave us answers only to leave us in the dark again. Rebecca’s ex, Evan, returns, sending Tara into a jealous tizzy. A woman is buried alive, and a package locks down the FBI building. From one extreme to the next, Criminal Minds fans can’t rest when all the devils are roaming the world.

Episode 7 left me in shambles. The new network unleashes Sicarius Spiders into the mouths of their male victims, who are then placed inside balloons set to explode in their stomachs. I’m with Penelope on this one as she tries to stop the invisible spiders from crawling all over her. That’s not even the worst part of this week’s evidence: Voit agrees to help the Bau and comes face-to-face with his past, while Tara’s fate hangs in the balance.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 Episode 7 “…All the Devils Are Here.”] The end of the Thursday, June 19, episode of Criminal Minds: Evolution either proves our theory that Rebecca’s (Nicole Pacent) friend Evan (Geoff Stults) can’t be trusted or tells us we’re way off-base. Evan was introduced in Season 18 Episode 6, and honestly, he came across as too nice. There was the history, and Tara (Aisha Tyler) was concerned that he wanted to get back together with her girlfriend, but he said he just wanted to introduce them to his fiancée with dinner. Plus, he showed up just before the Bau was delivered the Yase-Otoko mask, representing a ghost suffering in hell and now the hallmark of Voit’s (Zach Gilford) network seemingly operating without him. It was a clear message. Now, in Season 18 Episode 7, Rebecca finds out Evan’s replacing her as the Department of Justice’s liaison to Voit,...

Between Voit’s amnesia, the Zookeeper, and Will’s death, Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 episode 2 kept pain at the center. I was pissed Voit woke up but to worry about his amnesia in the same episode that JJ loses her husband was awful. Losing a parent hurts more than anything, so this plot hit close to home for me.

As I watched season 3 episode 3, "Time to Say Goodbye," I felt all Henry and Michael's emotions: lost, confused, and wondering how life can change so fast. The storyline shed light on grief within a family: Will’s spouse (JJ), his sons (Henry and Michael), his mother (Connie), his mother-in-law (Sandy), and his friends (law enforcement). Each person’s reaction broke my heart as I analyzed this week’s evidence in our recap and review. Spoilers Below.

The prodigal son finally returns in Season 18 of the beloved police procedural crime thriller drama series, Criminal Minds. Yes, you heard it right, Matthew Gray Gubler is all set to finally reprise his fan favourite role of Dr. Spencer Reid in the upcoming season of the now Paramount+ series after more than five years. Created by Jeff Davis, Season 18 of Criminal Minds is set six months after the prison attack on the notorious Sicarius Killer, Elias Voit, and it will see the Bau members joining forces with the extremely unpredictable Elias to catch another dangerous killer.

The new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution is going to be “a really hot one” for deviant UnSubs, Aisha Tyler promised during her visit to TVLine’s NYC video studio this week.

The Season 18 premiere (now streaming on Paramount+) picks up six months after Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) took that beating in prison, and now, even in his (seemingly?) compromised state, the Bau will need to try and work with him, again, to shut down the network of serial killers left in Sicarius’ wake.

In about forty-eight hours, Criminal Minds will make a thrilling comeback with its eighteenth season, also serving as the third chapter of the Evolution revival. The season debuts with the "Swimmer's Calculus" episode, written by Breen Frazier and directed by Bethany Rooney, with every main character from Season 17 set to return, including the psychotic villain Elias Voit (Zach Gilford). A few hints have come up regarding what’s ahead for some of these characters; one from Paget Brewster (who portrays the Bau chief Emily Prentiss) and most recently from Aisha Tyler, whose character Tara Lewis is about to have one hell of a season.

Speaking with TVLine about the new installment of Criminal Minds, Tyler teased a “deeply personal” journey for her character, involving her history, saying:

“This season is going to be deeply personal for Tara. We get to dive into my backstory, which has been really beautiful.”

Note: This story contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “Criminal Minds: Evolution.”

Whether you consider it Season 2 or Season 17, “Criminal Minds: Evolution” ended with quite the explosion in Thursday’s finale. While fans were concerned for Paget Brewster’s Prentiss going into Episode 10, it was Zach Gilford’s serial killer Voit (aka Sicarius) who ultimately met his end — or did he?

Since the sequel series has already been renewed for Season 3 at Paramount+, showrunner Erica Messer broke down the twist-filled finale with TheWrap and gave a concrete answer about that violent cliffhanger.

“It was a journey to get here, because in some ways it really started at last season’s finale when Doug Bailey (Nicholas D’Agosto) was killed by Elias Voit, seemingly because Voit used this code word ‘Gold Star,’ which got Bailey to walk in all alone, unarmed, into the lion’s den,” she explained. “The journey to...

The following contains discussions of self-harm, graphic violence and spoilers from Criminal Minds: Evolution, Season 2, Episode 4, "Kingdom of the Blind."

After a trio of episodes with the Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) chasing their tails, Criminal Minds: Evolution finally sheds some light on the Gold Star conspiracy at the heart of the revival series' second season. But despite this big break in the case, tiny cracks are spreading through the individual Bau members. While this would be dangerous for them at any point, Season 2's fourth episode, "Kingdom of the Blind," will bring the previous season's villain right into their midst. From here on out, things will only get worse for the Bau.

The Season 2 premiere episodes of Evolution revealed that David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) is still working through his trauma from Season 1. Similarly, Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) continues to try to move on from Tyler Green (Ryan-James Hatanaka), a vigilante she fell for.

Warning! Spoilers for season 1 of Criminal Minds: Evolution!

Criminal Minds: Evolution wrapped its season with a perfect setup for a new mystery in season 2. With the return of the crime drama, the show has been flexing its ingenuity with new criminals and villains that push the envelope for Criminal Minds’ formatting, particularly in response to world events. This is what helped to keep the show so successful throughout its previous 15 seasons, and it seems as though the next season of the show is angling to consider another new plot thread to challenge the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

Criminal Minds: Evolution is a reboot of the original show, which ended in 2005. Much of season 1 focused on the team’s search for a new serial killer, Sicarius, also known as Elias Voit (Zach Gilford), who created a network of those like himself during the pandemic to face off against the returning Criminal...

This article contains spoilers for the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 1 finale.

Police procedural drama Criminal Minds has captivated fans since its debut in 2005. The cancellation of the original series on CBS in 2020 didn’t stop fans from desperately wishing the show would return, which it did two years later under a new title, Criminal Minds: Evolution.

The first season of the Paramount+ reboot wrapped up on a high note as FBI agents Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), Jennifer “JJ” Jareau (A.J. Cook), Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler), Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez), and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) worked against the clock to rescue Rossi and to locate the one of the worst serial killers the Bau had ever seen, Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) a.k.a. Sicarius, a.k.a Lee Duval – his birth name. Throughout the season we saw how Voit not only added to his body count...

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Criminal Minds Season 16, episode 10.

Criminal Minds: Evolution showrunner Erica Messer reveals Voit will return in season 2 in a Hannibal-like role. After 15 seasons, Criminal Minds returned for a revival on Paramount+ with "Evolution" as a new subtitle. The revival of the popular police procedural drama follows key members of the Behavioral Analysis Unit as they attempt to take down an entire network of serial killers, led by Zach Gilford's Elias Voit.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Messer shares that viewers can expect more of Voit in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2, which Paramount+ recently renewed. The showrunner reveals that Voit will be a figure not unlike Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs when the show returns, with the killer serving as a crucial source of information regarding the use of the phrase "Gold Star". Check out Messer's full comment below:

“We love Zach...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 16 finale “Dead End.”] One case closes (sort of), another opens in the Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 16 finale. Rossi (Joe Mantegna) helps to save himself, with the Bau finding him after taking Elias Voit/Sicarius (Zach Gilford) into custody and having his wife Sydney (Kiele Sanchez) talk him into giving up the location. But before they got Voit, he shot Bailey (Nicholas D’Agosto), who insisted upon being the one to try to negotiate after the serial killer used the phrase “Gold Star.” Whatever that is, it has Rebecca (Nicole Pacent) telling the Attorney General (Monnae Michaell) her legal and extralegal options: let him go (the safest way to keep the matter contained) or an implied order of terminate with extreme prejudice (with the likely deaths of Rossi and Voit’s family unavoidable collateral damage). When Lewis (Aisha Tyler) questions ex-girlfriend Rebecca about Gold Star, all she can tell ...

Team members reunite for a big case in the first season of the Criminal Minds: Evolution TV show on Paramount+. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Criminal Minds: Evolution is renewed for season two. Paramount+ and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the first season episodes of Criminal Minds: Evolution here. *Status Update Below.

Uh-oh, it looks like we maybe should be a bit more worried about Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and Rebecca’s (Nicole Pacent) future together than we might have originally thought we needed to be on Criminal Minds: Evolution. In TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the January 12 midseason premiere, tensions are running high for the couple. When Rebecca joins Tara, both start talking. “I know I did the right thing, but I got the call. I’m under review,” Rebecca reveals. Tara tries to tell her it’s not her fault and shoulder some of the blame, but her girlfriend interrupts her. “Let me finish. I have never not been on your side, but you couldn’t be honest with me about what you needed, and that’s not fair,” Rebecca explains. Tara asks if they can talk about this at home. Watch the clip above for Rebecca’s response.

The wait is almost over to find out if JJ (A.J. Cook) and Luke (Adam Rodriguez) survived that explosion in one of Voit’s (Zach Gilford) storage containers in the Criminal Minds: Evolution midseason finale. But that’s not all we have to look forward to in the second half of the drama on Paramount+. When new episodes resume on January 12, in addition to the Bau starting to get some wins, expect developments in Lewis’ (Aisha Tyler) relationship with Rebecca (Nicole Pacent), a set-up for another season, and much more. Showrunner Erica Messer offers a preview. I love Lewis and Rebecca together. But I know this show, I know what happens when people are in relationships, so I am worried for Rebecca. But is the threat more to her job and their relationship than maybe to her life? Erica Messer: Yes. What is coming up for those two? The...

Nicole Pacent has joined the cast of Criminal Minds: Evolution. The police procedural TV series, which focuses on a group of criminal profilers who investigate cases and hunt down wrongdoers, i.e., UnSubs at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau), ended in 2020 after a successful 15-season run. But only a year after the show aired its finale, plans for a revival were announced at Paramount+. The revival struggled to go on for some time due to rights and licensing issues. Still, in July 2022, Paramount+ officially ordered the Criminal Minds revival, Criminal Minds: Evolution, to series with Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Aj Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, and Aisha Tyler returning.

Now Deadline has announced that Westworld and Call Me Kat alum Nicole Pacent has joined the Criminal Minds: Evolution cast in a recurring role. Pacent's character is Rebecca, a lawyer at the Department of Justice (DOJ). She will reportedly...

The first global LGBTQ+ virtual cable TV network Revry is set to launch Oml on October 29. Oml on Revry is the first 24/7 live TV channel catering to queer womxn which includes those who identify as lesbian, bi, trans female, gender non-binary and queer.

The Oml on Revry channel highlights queer female or femxle stories in a truly “always on” environment and free of charge. This unprecedented move expands on the company’s early 2020 unveiling of its new queer-focused live, multi-channel platform–a niche twist on the growing emergence of free virtual cable TV networks such as Pluto TV, Peacock, and Xumo.

Anyone But Me superfans can now sink their teeth into a new batch of clips. The cult favorite web series has added several Lost Scenes to its run, and they are available on Hulu.

The Lost Scenes, which Anyone But Me creators Susan Miller and Tina Cesa Ward revealed to us back in July, fill in gaps among the show’s 26 episodes. As Miller previously explained, The Lost Scenes serve as a game of sorts for fans. “When we air, at the end of each new one we’ll put up a link to a particular episode for the fans to watch and see for themselves if they agree with where we thought a scene might belong,” she said. “Meanwhile, we hope they’ll watch every season so they can enjoy playing detective when the new scenes launch.”

The first of these scenes is now available on Hulu. Anyone But Me’s two stars,...

Anyone But Me, which gained a cult following across three web seasons, remains popular with its fans despite airing its final episode more than three years ago. In order to thank those fans for their loyalty, series creators Susan Miller and Tina Cesa Ward have planned a little gift: They will share ten additional scenes, which they will release one at a time under the title Anyone But Me: The Lost Scenes.

The Lost Scenes will be designed to fit into Anyone But Me’s story arc, which follows the lives of a pair of young, lesbian protagonists. The series’ two primary actresses, Rachael Hip-Flores and Nicole Pacent, will both reprise their roles for The Lost Scenes. As Miller explained in an e-mail to Tubefilter, the goal is to create new material that can relate to previous episodes without depending entirely on them:

Susan Miller and Tina Cesa Ward aren’t afraid to mix it up and try something new. The two New York-based creators of hit indie drama Anyone But Me spent most of the summer drumming up fan donations in their Web-a-thon fundraising drive to raise enough money to shoot a third season. With a final count of $33,088 raised, Miller and Ward are calling the drive a success, even if it didn’t hit the amibitious $120k mark they set to fund the entire season. It’s enough to fund at least three episodes, and another donor has stepped in with a bridge loan to cover another two. So come January the cast and crew of the coming of age drama that notched four Streamy Award nominations and a Best Actor win for star Rachel Hip-Flores, are heading back into production. Asking for fan donations can only go so far, even...

From Crackle: The Criminal Lifestyle Derrick Comedy

Actor/comedian Donald Glover formed this sketch group with Dominic Dierkes and DC Pierson while a student at Nyu, and it proved more important than his education: Glover’s first job out of school was writing for 30 Rock, and he now stars in NBC’s Community. The group still posts videos online—don’t miss Gink, its...

"Anyone But Me" co-creator Susan Miller on the challenges of creating a drama in a Web comedy world and striking a chord with viewers.

Susan Miller, co-creator of hit drama Anyone But Me, is a Hollywood vet, having worked on shows including The L Word and Thirtysomething. But working in online TV has been a whole new education, complete with new challenges and new opportunities. We talked to her about it.

Fast Company: Anyone But Me has received a lot of praise for being a show about actual teens. How did you approach creating these characters?

Susan Miller: In New York, after 9/11, young people became part of a much larger picture. We wanted to show their connection to the larger world, but through their personal stories. New York is the most vital, difficult, and marvelous place to live, and we very much wanted to have diverse characters to really...

In our first annual Top 50 Lesbian and Bi Characters poll, we asked you to vote for your favorite characters from film, television, and internet shows.

You cast your votes, and now we have the results. Before we reveal the winners, let's take a look at some of the trends that emerged.

Almost all of the characters were from films and television shows that made their debut after the year 2000. A few of the exceptions include Kerry Weaver from ER, and the ass-kicking ladies from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

While most of the characters were from Us productions, a fair amount came from international shows, including our top two characters (from the UK show Skins).

Also notable was the fact that some of your favorite characters, the leads from Xena: Warrior Princess (which ran from 1995-2001) and Idgie Threadgood from the film Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), were never officially presented as lesbian or bisexual.

In our annual Visibility Awards, we formally recognize the people who have positively or negatively impacted lesbian and bi visibility in American entertainment during the year. (See previous years here: 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004.)

From Best Movie to Worst Song to Lesbian/Bi Woman of the Year, these awards recognize the television shows, movies, music, books and people who entertained, inspired, or disappointed us in 2009.

Last year, some of the category winners were chosen by both the AfterEllen.com staff and AfterEllen.com readers. This year, AfterEllen.com staff and contributing writers chose the winners for each category, as readers will be given the opportunity to vote on a wider range of topics and categories in our first annual Lesbian/Bi Women's Choice Awards in January.

Once again this year, we've included international people, shows and movies as a reflection of the increasing awareness of lesbian and bisexual visibility around the world made possible by the Internet.
