Deadline has found that Criminal Minds has remained quite demandable and popular show on the Netflix network which makes the series more alluring. So, it’s a quite valuable asset for the network as Paramount+ always tries to figure out ways that can help it in increasing its bag size of hit shows. The previous season of the show was finished on a quite satisfactory note where all the core characters of the show were alive which increases the possibilities of renewal of drama.

If we talk about Criminal Minds season 16 release date, it’s still in the pipeline or we can say that it’s still far away. On 19th February 2021, TV Line revealed that the season is in the initial phase of evolution and because of this there isn’t any agreement taking place with the actors or script makers. So, if the Paramount network and drama’s producers are on the way to reveal some information, then the season will take at least a year to hit digital screens.

Not much time has passed to the conclusion of the fifteenth season but many actors of the series have started working on their next projects. Now Paramount Network will somehow make its best efforts to recast these stars again in the Criminal Minds Season 7 as they have done their job quite well in the previous seasons. So, now we have to be calm as the creators are busy planning out things for the upcoming season.

Television programs have rapidly grown in past few years, but the thing that separates Criminal Minds from other shows is its potential to hold the audience returning with an ancient school case of the weekly pattern. It’s going to be peculiar for the script makers to execute this concept again. However, if the 16th season becomes a restricted edition then only it will sound relevant for the drama to target on a single large case along with some small cases pitched in for the good count.

Criminal Minds Season 16 can also give script makers a chance to frame a banging storyline that wasn’t effective in the previous season. Soon after the 15th season was over Messer disclosed to Entertainment Weekly that script makers had played with the concept of adding a pattern-cracking episode in the last season but as they realized that only 10 episodes are remaining, they eventually selected to go securely.

“There was crazy stuff thrown out in the room, and we didn’t just shoot it down. We would say, ‘Okay, how could that happen?’ The idea of a live episode or… what do you call it?… a documentary film crew following the crew around,” she mentioned. “We ended up exploring some of those, but ultimately we weren’t able to find a way to keep it true to the series.”

However, now season 16 can be made so this time script makers have a chance to execute the unorthodox episode plans while creating a new bunch of episodes for it.
