The Criminal Minds revival returns with a new season of top-notch police procedural entertainment and drama as it picks up six months after “Sicarius Killer” Elias Volt (Zach Gilford) was attacked by prisoners. Since that act of violence, Volt’s disciples on the dark web take it upon themselves to channel their restlessness into wreaking chaos and destruction across America. As a result, the Behavioral Analysis Unit must work with an increasingly volatile Volt to stop his followers from taking innocent lives, all while the notorious criminal operates under his own agenda.
