Fans of the Paramount+ series Criminal Minds: Evolution have been struggling to accept the absence of Matthew Gray Gubler and Daniel Henney. Despite the show's renewal and upcoming season finale, fans have expressed their disappointment on social media. In a recent post asking fans to "Name this band," fans used the opportunity to voice their desire for Gubler and Henney's return.
While the show explained in its premiere that their characters were on secret assignments, the truth is that the actors had conflicting schedules and were unavailable for the new series. Showrunner Erica Messer revealed that they had wanted both actors back but couldn't make it work due to logistics.
However, there's still hope for fans who want to see their favorite characters back in action. If schedules align, Gubler and Henney could potentially return for season two. Despite the absence of these fan-favorite characters, the show continues to engage with its audience on social media and appreciate their support.
As Criminal Minds: Evolution tackles new menaces in its upcoming episodes, fans remain hopeful for Gubler and Henney's eventual return to the Behavioral Analysis Unit.
