Not long after that, Gubler was next seen with Kirsten Vangsness.
Neither Mantegna nor Vangsness said anything about Gubler reprising Reid inCriminal Minds: Evolutionseason 2.
In fact, they never even mentioned anything about the Paramount+ police procedural.
It’s difficult to imagine that the subject ofCriminal Minds: Evolutionwasn’t at least brought up.
For the longest time, the actor remained mum on the matter.
However, he finally addressed the matter in an interview.
Apparently, it boiled down toGubler’s schedule not lining up with the filming forCriminal Minds: Evolutionseason.
Messer revealed that this was actually a conscious creative decision on their part.
However, just before production started for the new season, theWriters Guild Strike of 2023went down.
Because of this, no official release date has been set forCriminal Minds: Evolutionseason 2.
