How to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 online
The Behavioral Analysis Unit returns for another year of serial killer crime fighting. We've put together everything you need to know about how to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18, including global live streaming options, which vary from country to country. Criminal Minds: Evolution is a continuation of the original Criminal Minds series, which aired on CBS from 2005 to 2020. A little over two years after the show finished its network run, new episodes of the series landed on Paramount Plus with the Evolution tag and a decidedly grittier spin on the already dark FBI drama. Most of the original cast (including Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, AJ Cook, Adam Rodriguez, Aisha Tyler, and Kirsten Vangsness) return once again for the show's third outing as a streaming exclusive. Season 18 (or Season 3, depending on where you look) kicks off just six months after the events of last season and finds the BAU reckoning with the fallout of the attack on Elias Voit (Zach Gilford). But this time, they're forced to work alongside him as they attempt to put a stop to his followers. While the drama of the new season is shaping up to be a can't-miss storyline, perhaps the most talked-about aspect of the new season is the (temporary) return of Matthew Gray-Gubler as Dr. Spencer Reid. According to Entertainment Weekly, he'll be returning for a "big life thing." Whether you're a new or old fan, we've got you covered when it comes to streaming the new season. Keep reading for details on where to watch Season 18 and a look at the new trailer. How to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution in the US The new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution streams on Paramount Plus in the US. Season 18 will premiere with one episode on Thursday, May 8. New episodes drop weekly on Thursdays, typically around 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET. Paramount Plus is the streaming home to the past 17 seasons of Criminal Minds, making it a must-have streamer for all BAU fans. Subscriptions start at $8/month for the ad-supported tier, but you can upgrade to ad-free viewing for $13/month. New users can usually get a one-week free trial. Paramount Plus Essential (Monthly Plan) Paramount Plus is perfect for viewers who want to stream CBS TV shows, local NFL games, and tons of content from Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV. And if you get the premium tier you can also unlock ad-free streaming and access to Showtime. Check price at Paramount How to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution in the UK Although Paramount Plus exists overseas, the international streaming home for Criminal Minds: Evolution is, for the most part, on Disney Plus. We expect the new season to land on Disney Plus in the UK, although an exact release date hasn't been announced. Last year, the new season became available in the UK one week after it started streaming in the US. Plans start at £5/month. How to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution in Australia As in the UK, Criminal Minds: Evolution is also expected to land on Disney Plus in Australia. Last season, new episodes became available in Australia within a day after dropping in the US. Subscriptions start at AU$14/month. How to watch Criminal Minds: Evolution from anywhere Fans traveling away from home can still access their usual streaming methods with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are cybersecurity tools that enable you to alter your device's virtual location. This way, you don't need to miss out on any new episodes while abroad since your go-to websites and apps will work just like they would back home. The services we've highlighted require country-specific payment methods, so this option is best for those who are simply away from home at the moment. If you already have a Disney Plus subscription in your country, but the show remains on a different service, you can use a VPN to watch one of the above countries' content catalogs with your existing subscription once the show lands there. Not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs? Our top recommendation is ExpressVPN, a user-friendly option with a full suite of security features. Plus, the app comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there are no worries if you find that it's not what you're looking for. You can learn more about it in our ExpressVPN review. Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 trailer Paramount Plus dropped a full trailer for the new season in April. It's action-packed and shows some of what the team has to deal with this season, including Voit. JJ, in particular, appears to be grappling with a lot. In one quick shot, she is seen getting slapped across the face by an older woman. "People think this job is about staring down evil, but it's not," Unit Chief Prentiss tells BAU newbie Tyler Green partway through the trailer. "It's about loss." Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

Inside The Block's biggest losers' budget comeback
After losing big on The Block, Dylan and Jenny have swapped high-end heartbreak for a renovator on the Gold Coast. The fan-favourite couple made headlines for copping one of the most brutal blows in the history of the hit TV show, walking away with nothing after their house was passed in on auction night. It remained on the market for nearly six months before finally selling for $3.9m — $180,000 below the original reserve. The Season 18 contestants didn't fare much better off-screen, with the Palm Beach dream home they had started before joining The Block also failing to sell in 2023. Welcoming their first child, Billy, in August last year, the energetic couple changed tack, keeping the luxury Palm House as their family home and investing instead in a 1990s-era holiday unit at Coolangatta for their next project. Priced at $920,000, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom fixer-upper was snapped up for less than the suburb's median unit price of $1.05m. The north-facing apartment on Dutton Street was marketed by LJ Hooker Southern Gold Coast agent Erin King. Dylan Adams and Jenny Heath-Adams said they were planning to bring a 'Modern-terranean' aesthetic to the property, which last changed hands for $380,000 in 2013. 'Since wrapping up our Palm House build, we've been itching to take on another project — but client work has kept up busy,' said the couple, who juggle new parenthood with running their construction business. Their plans include replacing the poky kitchen's outdated yellow-and-blue cabinetry with Taj Mahal stonework, a galley-style layout, and custom-designed rangehoods with contemporary lighting. Aussie demolition hotspots revealed Tweak that could unlock 400k homes Jamie Durie reveals favourite dream home feature French doors will connect internal and external living areas, with multiple outdoor zones to be created, including a freestanding pergola with feature rafters, battens and cascading vines, along with a rendered barbecue area. Ms King said the courtyard property within the Sunrise Sea complex was located just 200m from Coolangatta's retail strip and 400m from the beach. 'Dylan and Jenny know the appeal of the southern end of the Coast having completed other successful projects in Palm Beach,' she said. 'With the Dutton Street property, they recognised its proximity to shops, Coolangatta and Kirra beaches. 'They were also taken with the potential of the outdoor area and are going to create a space that really takes advantage of the southern Coast's lifestyle.'

IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals in limbo with Samson's return still uncertain
Dubai: Rajasthan Royals' season continues to unravel, and the absence of Sanju Samson remains a major stumbling block. The skipper, nursing a side strain, has now missed back-to-back games, and with no clear timeline for his return, the Royals appear rudderless during the most critical stage of their campaign. The 2008 champions slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat — and seventh overall — after falling short by 11 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday in the Indian Premier League Season 18. Blistering start, same old finish Rajasthan, chasing 206, were off to a flyer. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Nitish Rana smashed 110 runs in the first nine overs, cashing in as the dew neutralised a tricky pitch. But the familiar middle-overs stutter returned once stand-in skipper Riyan Parag was dismissed, allowing Bengaluru back into the contest. 'I thought at the halfway mark we were in the driving seat,' Parag said. 'But we have ourselves to blame… we didn't show enough intent against the spinners and didn't execute well.' Samson update — or lack of one While the defeats continue to pile up, what's equally worrying for Rajasthan is the uncertainty around their captain's fitness. 'Sanju picked up a bit of a side issue during the game against Delhi (Capitals),' said Rahul Dravid at the pre-match press conference. 'He wasn't fit for the last game or this one, and the medical team didn't clear him to play.' Dravid said the Royals took a cautious approach, opting to keep Samson off the road and under treatment. 'We didn't want him travelling and making two more flights. We've kept the physio back with him to try and get him back as quickly as possible,' he said. However, when pressed for a return date, Dravid offered no clarity. 'I have no timeline to give as to when exactly he will be fit… we're trying our best.' In the post-match chat, Sandeep Sharma didn't hold back about the impact of not having Samson around. 'His experience and leadership are things we can't replace. Sanju's such a smart player, and us missing him has impacted how we play. He couldn't even start the season with us because of injury, and now, just when he was back for a few games, he's hurt again. All of this adds up and makes it tough for us,' Sandeep said. Hazlewood turns the tide Rajasthan's defeat wasn't for lack of chances. After restricting Bengaluru to 205 for five, they needed only 18 runs from the final two overs. But Josh Hazlewood produced a game-changing penultimate over, conceding just one run and grabbing two wickets. He finished with 4 for 33 as Rajasthan ended on 194 for nine — another winnable chase gone wrong. With just a handful of games left, Samson's prolonged absence — compounded by a finger injury earlier in the tournament — couldn't have come at a worse time. The Royals' play-off hopes are still alive, but only just. And without their captain, the path ahead looks increasingly unclear.

New Criminal Minds Season 18 Trailer Features a ‘Badass' JJ, Reveals Special Guest Star
Criminal Minds: Evolution not only has set a premiere date for Season 18, but it has already been renewed for a 19th season, by Paramount+. More from TVLine RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 Will Be Special Tournament of Champions - Full Cast Revealed First NCIS: Tony & Ziva Trailer Features Disguises, a McGee Shoutout and More SkyMed Season 3 Gets Paramount+ Binge-Drop Date - Watch Trailer Season 18 will premiere Thursday, May 8 with one episode, followed by new episodes dropping weekly. Watch a new trailer above, which kicks off with an always-unsettling 'buried alive' scenario… has JJ (franchise vet A.J. Cook) championing her 'badass' self… and reveals a guest-starring appearance by the late Linda Lavin, in an undisclosed role. Season 18 picks up six months after fellow inmates attacked the notorious Sicarius Killer aka Elias Voit (played by Zach Gilford), leading his restless followers on the dark web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. In order to stop this nefarious group from killing more innocents, the BAU is forced to once again work in concert with an increasingly unpredictable Voit, who of course has his own agenda. Production on Season 18 wrapped back on Dec. 13, barely four months after filming ramped back up on the series. 'We're back, Profilers!' the crime drama's Instagram announced in August 2024, while also sharing seven BTS photos from Season 18 — including a couple of looks at JJ Jareau's return to a side part hairstyle (seen above), which the well-tressed Special Agent last rocked as recently as Season 9 (one Twitter follower told me). With a premiere date and trailer now in hand, here is everything we know about Criminal Minds Season 18…. The BAU's elite team of profilers will again be comprised of Emily Prentiss (played by Paget Brewster), David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), 'JJ' Jareau (A.J. Cook), Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez). Also back for another go-round is Ryan-James Hatanaka as onetime person of interest Tyler Green (who last season was veritably deputized as an unofficial BAU helper), and Zach Gilford as captured serial killer Elias Voit. When the Paramount+ sequel series debuted in November 2022, a line of dialogue established that Matthew Gray Gubler's Spencer Reid and Daniel Henney's Matt Simmons have been away on an assignment. Given that little time has passed over the first two Evolution seasons, away on an assignment they both have stayed. Until now. As TVLine reported in mid-December, Gubler — who stars in the CBS drama pilot Einstein, which is waiting on a series order — will return to Criminal Minds for part of one Season 18 episode. Lucifer and Dexter alum Aimee Garcia has a multi-episode arc as Dr. Julia Ochoa, a leading neuropsychiatrist who is 'assigned to help a high-profile patient recover from his injury-induced brain trauma.' Is it me, or does that very much sound like she will be treating serial killer Elias Voit, who in the Season 17 finale was released to gen pop under a pseudonym and promptly took a brutal beating once word leaked out about who he really is…? Showrunner Erica Messer told TVLine that whereas not much time passed across Evolution's first two seasons, a full 'six months' will have passed when Season 18 opens. As indicated above by the news of Zach Gilford's return, 'we still have Voit in our life,' Messer said, but Season 18 promises to be 'a bit more hybrid…. This [next] season will feel a little different, where we're solving standalone 'Catch the Bad Guy' cases.' And though Voit is now behind bars, the BAU agents, after two seasons of cleaning up his murderous messes, 'don't come up for air,' Messer noted. 'It's different this season but it's still a lot. More things happen to this team, but it's a different kind of pace, a different exhaustion.' Criminal Minds Season 18 will span another 10 episodes, as did Evolution's first two cycles. Filming wrapped in mid-December 2024 on the new season, which will premiere Thursday, May 8 (with new episodes dropping weekly). Criminal Minds: Evolution fans got a big surprise last June, when Paramount+ renewed the long-running crime drama for Season 18 ahead of its Season 17 premiere. At the time that filming wrapped on Season 18, franchise vet Paget Brewster was bullish on getting even more cases to crack, sharing on social media, 'We are optimistic we'll get a Season 19.' Indeed, not three months later, Paramount+ officially greenlit Season 19, well ahead of Season 18's premiere date. A revival of CBS' long-running procedural, Criminal Minds: Evolution streams exclusively on Paramount+. The first two seasons dropped new episodes weekly, on Thursdays. All 17 seasons of CBS' Criminal Minds and its Evolution follow-up series can be found and streamed on Paramount+.Best of TVLine Weirdest TV Crossovers: Always Sunny Meets Abbott, Family Guy vs. Simpsons, Nine-Nine Recruits New Girl and More ER Turns 30: See the Original County General Crew, Then and Now The Best Streaming Services in 2024: Disney+, Hulu, Max and More
