December 16th 2024.
The highly anticipated news is finally here - Matthew Gray Gubler is making his grand return to Criminal Minds! Fans of the popular series are ecstatic as it has been announced that the beloved actor will reprise his iconic role as Dr. Spencer Reid in the ongoing Evolution revival. For those unaware, Gubler portrayed the genius FBI agent with an eidetic memory for a whopping 15 years, ever since the show's pilot premiered in 2005.
It's been five years since the show ended, but Gubler is now set to make a one-off appearance in the 18th season, much to the joy of his devoted fans. As soon as the news broke, social media was flooded with reactions from excited followers. One fan even admitted to manifesting this moment for years, while another exclaimed that this was the best news ever. It's safe to say that the world is healing with Gubler's return, as many fans expressed their happiness and gratitude.
It's been quite a while since Gubler graced our screens as Dr. Spencer Reid, with his last appearance being in the show's initial ending in 2020. However, the talented actor has been keeping busy with other projects since then. Fortunately, the stars have aligned, and Gubler's schedule has allowed him to make a comeback, with season 18 already wrapped up. This means that his scenes have already been filmed and are ready to be enjoyed by viewers.
Interestingly, Gubler's co-stars have also been making their return to the show, reprising their respective roles. While Gubler's character has been absent, the storyline for the sequel series has revealed that he and special agent Matt Simmons have been working together on mysterious assignments. This news has only added to the excitement and anticipation among fans.
Despite the joyous news, some fans couldn't help but express their concern about what Gubler's return could mean for Reid's fate on the show. Some even predicted that the writers might finally kill off his character. However, showrunner Eric Messer has assured fans that both Reid and Simmons are not "gone gone" and have not been forgotten. In fact, their desks are still there with their belongings, hinting at their possible return.
Back in 2020 when the show initially ended, Gubler had stated that he was in no way sad about the show's conclusion. He believed that the ending was beautifully done and that there were possibilities for the show to "re-hatch" in the future. His words have now come true with his return in Evolution. He also compared the show's ending to a concert where the band leaves the stage to make a comeback for an encore. It's a natural progression that sets up potential avenues for exploration for the beloved characters.
Criminal Minds: Evolution is currently streaming on Paramount+. So, if you're a fan of the show, make sure to catch Gubler's much-awaited return! And for any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, be sure to contact the entertainment team at The Agency. We'd love to hear from you!
