What’s Happening This Season

For those just catching up, Season 4 picks up roughly a year after the BAU’s encounter with serial killer Elias Voit, also known as Sicarius, with the season continuing his involvement while focusing on new threats shaped by his past behaviour.

The format remains the same as recent seasons, with overarching mysteries unfolding alongside standalone cases. Following Episode 4’s introduction of Lance Kingston, a manipulative figure tied to a BAU stalking case who’s set to recur throughout the season, fans can expect Episode 5 to dig deeper into both his story and the broader Voit admirer mystery, alongside a fresh case-of-the-week investigation.

There’s also good news for long-term fans: Paramount+ has already renewed the series for a milestone Season 20, premiering in 2027, ensuring the BAU’s story continues well beyond this current run. TVLine
