Criminal Minds
The former update for the upcomingCriminal Mindsreboot hints that Spencer Reid will in the end seem . Not long after the FBI ’s Behavioral Analysis Unit ( BAU ) wrapped up its run on CBS , it was declare that the squad is coming back for more unsub hunting . While most of theCriminal Minds ' core cast membersare confirmed to rejoin , Matthew Gray Gubler is not , causing concern about the squad ’s son genius , Spencer Reid .
When it premiered in 2005,Criminal Mindshad seven master characters . Since then , the BAU went through several personnel changes , including some big release from Aaron Hotchner ( Thomas Gibson ) and Derek Morgan ( Shemar Moore ) . That go away Gubler ’s Spencer Reid and A.J. Cook ’s " JJ " Jareau as the only original players remaining when the procedural enwrap . by from being one of the most seasoned members of the squad , Reid is also one of the most significant assets of the BAU thanks to his vast noesis , not to refer his eidetic retentiveness .

Suffice to say , Reid is a sports fan favourite , and Gubler ’s likely absence inCriminal Mindsseason 16 would be doubtlessly felt . There may be some good news , however , as the forthcoming Paramount+ resurgence could ultimately see BAU ’s gilt male child make an visual aspect . Paget Brewster latterly update theCriminal Mindsrebootstatus , saying that the show is still in growth , and while there are no concrete plans for it yet , certain thing have been done behind the scenes to move the project forward . As for the returning stamp , she say that everyone has already agreed to return ; they ’re all just waiting to sign their contracts . While she did n’t name - drop Gubler , the fact that she allege that all members of the core cast are unforced to reprise their part suggest that the Spencer Reid histrion could be come back . It would have been odd if she did n’t imply to include him since he had been inCriminal Mindsfor longer .
In any case , Spencer Reid ’s potentialCriminal Mindsseason 16 absencecould have been justified . After eld of working together , Reid and JJ ’s secret admiration for each other came out in the outdoors . This caused a brief bit of tension between the pair . Eventually , they decide that it was unspoiled to remain just near acquaintance and colleague , particularly since JJ is wed with two young children . Reid , on the other hand , incite forward by starting to date Maxine ( Rachel Leigh Cook ) . That being said , it ’s still possible that see JJ every sidereal day would make things unmanageable for Reid , hence why he decided that it was good to impart the BAU and concentre on teaching alternatively . Although it does n’t get him field all over the country , pedagogy is a great manipulation of his intellect in a way that still benefit the FBI .
Although it may seem that Matthew Gray Gubler will be back in Paramount+‘sCriminal Mindsrevival , it ’s deserving noting that the project could mayhap still not move forrard . As Brewster revealed , she ’s cautiously optimistic , but until they sign contracts and film the first episode , there ’s still a chance that it is n’t live to happen . If it does , however , the BAU might render to the small screen with an entire squad provided Spencer Reid will indeed continue his stint as a profiler .
