Criminal Minds, the cult detective series followed by millions of fans, returns for a 17th season on TF1. Even darker and more terrifying…

Attention fans of thrills and thrilling investigations! Season 17 ofCriminal Mindsa true institution of the detective genre, was scheduled on TF1 from Wednesday November 13, 2024. Since 2005, the series has followed the adventures of elite profilers from the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit), a special FBI unit responsible for tracking down most dangerous and twisted criminals. Over the years, Criminal Minds has managed to retain a large community of fans thanks to ever more complex and disturbing plots, carried by endearing characters.

This exceptional longevity is a real feat in the current audiovisual landscape, where series often struggle to exceed 4 or 5 seasons. The secret of this success? An effective and precise recipe mixing breathtaking investigations, charismatic profilers and devious serial killers, all enhanced by a dark and oppressive atmosphere that has become the trademark of the series. Each episode takes us deep into the literal criminal mind, exploring the motivations and impulses of the most terrifying killers.

An even more twisted scenario for season 17

For this 17th season ofCriminal mindsthe screenwriters saw the big picture by designing a main plot of unprecedented scale. The BAU profilers will indeed have to seek the help of their sworn enemy, Elias Voit, to track down a new serial killer who is more Machiavellian than ever. Captured at the end of the previous season, Voit holds crucial information to solve the “mystery of Gold Star”, a particularly complex affair which will push our heroes to their limits, both physical and psychological.

But working hand in hand with a criminal is not without risk, and the team will quickly find themselves facing a terrible moral dilemma. How far are they willing to go to stop this killer? Are they willing to put themselves in danger and compromise their principles? All these questions promise a season of high tension for Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) and the rest of the gang, who welcome a new kid in the person of Clark Gregg (Agents of SHIELD). The actor will play the new director of the FBI, bringing a welcome breath of fresh air to such a close-knit team.

The first images revealed on Paramount+ and broadcast in the United States since the spring have already given a taste of the sticky and distressing atmosphere of this 17th season, while a first trailer promises wonders. Chills and cold sweats guaranteed.
