What Was The Last Season Of Criminal Minds

So, you’re a Criminal Minds fan, huh? Ever wonder when the ride finally stopped? Let's talk about the last season.

Season 15: The Farewell Tour

The final season, season 15, premiered in January 2020. It was bittersweet, like saying goodbye to your favorite comfy sweater.

This season was shorter than usual, only ten episodes. Think of it as a concentrated dose of BAU goodness!

The Rossi Wedding...Finally!

Remember David Rossi? He's the silver fox with a heart of gold. Well, he finally tied the knot!

After multiple proposals and near misses, he married Krystall Richards. It was a heartwarming moment for the whole team, and honestly, about time!

The wedding reception looked like the best party ever. It’s like watching your family being genuinely happy for one of their own.

Saying Goodbye to Old Friends (and Unsubs)

What's Criminal Minds without a few creepy unsubs? Don't worry, season 15 delivered.

But beyond the cases, there was a sense of closure. We saw character arcs wrapping up.

Some characters move on to new roles in the FBI, like Luke Alvez joining the International Response Team. It was reassuring to see them evolve.

The Return of the Chameleon

The main focus of the season involved a long-running case. That was a face-off with the ultimate unsub: Everett Lynch, a.k.a. "The Chameleon."

This guy was like a cockroach, always managing to survive. The team knew stopping him was the only way to truly end things.

His ability to change his appearance and evade capture made him a formidable foe. It was a thrilling cat-and-mouse game to the very end.

Romantic Twists and Turns

Speaking of relationships, there was some simmering tension. Specifically between JJ and Reid.

Remember that moment in season 14 when JJ confessed she'd always loved Reid? It caused a whole lotta buzz.

Season 15 addressed it. While it didn't end in a romantic relationship (Reid ended up with someone else), it gave fans some resolution and a good bit of drama.

A Fitting Farewell?

The series finale was, well, a finale! It featured intense action, emotional goodbyes, and a sense of hope.

It was action-packed, with the team going all-out to stop The Chameleon. They really put their lives on the line one last time.

The finale offered a sense of closure for the characters and the audience. It was emotional watching them go their separate ways.

The BAU Lives On (Sort Of)

Did you miss the team? Good news! Criminal Minds: Evolution premiered in 2022.

It's a revival series with many of the original cast members returning. So, the BAU lives on to fight another day, albeit in a new format.

"Wheels up!"

Season 15 might have been the "official" end. The spirit of Criminal Minds is still alive and kicking.
