Criminal Minds has been a TV fixture for so long that it’s difficult to fathom life without it. When Jeff Davis’ crime drama series aired on CBS in 2005, it swept the world by storm, quickly becoming one of the most popular shows on television. All good things, unfortunately, must come to an end. The series was cancelled in 2019 and will conclude with a fifteenth and final season in 2020. Matthew Gray Gubler and AJ Cook are among the main cast members, and both are set to lose $100,000 per episode when they say goodbye to their beloved characters. Fortunately, Paramount+ confirmed intentions to bring the show back for a new season in 2021.
