Read her full quote below:
So the status ofCriminal Mindscoming back as a Paramount+ series…
I guess its still a itll happen when it happens situation?
So I believe that ABC and CBS are still working out a licensing agreement.
They have good faith, I believe, that we will be moving forward.
So were all very confident that its going to happen.
But, yknow, nothing is real until you… Well, not even when you sign the contract!
Once weve shot the first episode,that means thatCriminal Mindsis coming back.
Thats just how this business is!
And its all stuff thats out of our hands.
Because we all agreed in November: Yes, were all onboard, were ready to sign.
So theres clearly some other structure that needs to be figured out before we can start.
But were all very, very optimistic.
At one point, it was even deemed dead but was eventually debunked.
Other than that, there hasn’t been any concrete information regarding the project.
For what it’s worth, Brewster’s answer is on the safer side.
The initial reports about the show didn’t include Daniel Henney and Matthew Gray Gubler.
ButGubler’s possible absencecan be a big one since Spencer Reid was an important part of its original run.
