Criminal Minds has just wrapped filming its 20th Season. This is an incredible milestone that very few television shows ever get to reach. Despite its success, the decision was made today to cancel the series. Fans are devastated and we're not ready to say goodbye to the BAU.
In 2026, Criminal Minds ranked #11 among the Boardrooms’ Top-Streamed Titles of 2026 with 13.15 BILLION minutes viewed, surpassing some very popular shows such as The Rookie, Law and Order SVU, and Friends. These numbers speak for themselves. We, the audience and devoted fans, want more seasons!
Please help us sign the petition and help us bring back Criminal Minds!

This show has become so much to me in the year that I've been with it. I managed to get through sixteen seasons in half a year, granted college has held me back. But this show has become my comfort show, as well as many others, and I can't imagine this show not at least getting a proper ending to it.
Because I've been following since the beginning. I eagerly waited for the last reboot. For long running show to end abruptly without closure is disrespectful to the true fans who support the show and especially the network. If you gonna end something do it the right way, like it deserves and we deserve.
I have been a huge fan since 2005. The cast is amazing. Paget Brewster is one the best actresses on the planet and is a great role model for people. Aj Cook is amazing for what she does and a great role model as well. Aj is so mother. I love Kristen, Joe, Aisha, Adam and RJ. This show has taught me so much growing up and I learned more lessons from watching Criminal Minds than any material I learned in school and read from a book. The world is in a better place with Criminal Minds on TV.
This show has been a comfort show for me, really helping with my mental health and happiness, helping me get back into the groove of actually getting out of the house. Of the show ends I’ll be heartbroken
Cause I love criminal minds
I have always been a fan of this show. As long as it has been on. I watch it every day. It helped me get through my sons death and my moms death. I know it sounds dumb but it really did.
I want to keep seeing new criminal minds episodes. I have watched since the series started and I want to keep watching new shows.
