Criminal Minds Evolution Season 2 Update Removes 1 Big Spencer Reid Return Obstacle

preview

A major Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 update suggests that the biggest obstacle for Matthew Gray Gubler's return as BAU favorite Spencer Reid has been removed, which is very promising news for eager fans awaiting his comeback. Well after its fateful 2020 series conclusion, Criminal Minds was revived by Paramount+ and saw most of the beloved members of the BAU back together solving hard-won cases in the retitled Criminal Minds: Evolution. Nearly everyone from Criminal Minds' principal cast returned to reprise their roles among the team of agents, including Joe Mantegna as David Rossi, Paget Brewster as Emily Prentiss, and Kirsten Vangsness as Penelope Garcia.While almost all of the team reunited to take on an especially dangerous and exceedingly smart criminal mastermind, SSA Reid was noticeably missing from Criminal Minds: Evolution's cast of characters. During his absence, the BAU played a serious game of cat and mouse with the prolific serial killer Elias Voit in a saga that was not resolved by the season finale. With Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 quickly approaching and a promising update from actor Matthew Gray Gubler hanging in the balance, there may be a chance that audiences will see the series bring Reid back into the fold to help bring down the elusive murderer.Recently, Matthew Gray Gubler addressed Criminal Minds: Evolution rumors regarding his absence from the revival as well as the likelihood of Spencer Reid's return. There'd been speculation surrounding Gubler's role, or lack thereof, in the Paramount+ reboot, for his absence didn't make sense to those longing to see Reid alongside his fellow team members and to those curious as to why the prodigal genius wasn't back to help interrogate one of the smartest and most ruthless criminals the series has ever seen. Yet, in a new interview with The Six O'Clock Show, Gubler cleared up conjecture surrounding his character while also effectively removing the biggest obstacle to Reid's well-awaited return.Gubler assured fans that his absence was due to coincidental circumstances and even went so far as to confirm that he was on board to reprise the role:Of course! I would be honored. I would absolutely love that. They did a newer spinoff of the show, but it was filming during a time when I was shooting something else. But I can't wait — hopefully it will soon work out.Gubler may not have fully verified his Criminal Minds: Evolution appearance, but his comments remove any doubt that Reid's absence from the first season of the revival was due to the actor's unwillingness to make a comeback. Now that Gubler has confirmed his desire to reprise his role as Reid, all that's left to wait for is the series inclination to write him back into the story.Criminal Minds: Evolution is already primed for Spencer Reid's comeback, and it would be relatively easy for the character to make a seamless transition into the storyline of the revival's second season. Audiences can recall that throughout Criminal Minds: Evolution's premiere season, the BAU didn't miss a chance to mention or make references to Reid as they were navigating the Elias Voit case. The team is obviously bereaved by Reid's absence, and his return would not only mitigate their despair in working without him, but his comeback could also be instrumental to resolving the rest of the Voit investigation.There are several ways Criminal Minds: Evolution could bring Reid back into the fold, but the most obvious one is in his return as a BAU consultant. As such, Reid would be able to return fully immersed in the series, avoiding narrative lines that could confine him to a cameo role. Now that Matthew Gray Gubler has confirmed his interest and has done so with exuberance, it's only fair Criminal Minds: Evolution reprises Reid's role to the fullest extent.Source: The Six O'Clock ShowRick &amp; Morty Season 7 Episode 3’s Post-Credits Scene Revives Justin Roiland GagStar Wars Is Finally Completing George Lucas' Unfinished Chosen One ArcFear The Walking Dead's Ending Tease Sets Up Season 8 Recasting Alicia
