Unfortunately, we had some not-so-great news to report yesterday when it came to how things were going with the second season of Paramount+'s Criminal Minds: Evolution (or Season 17 if you're going with the original numbering). In response to a fan on social media, Josh Stewart (Will LaMontagne Jr.) confirmed that he would not be returning to the streaming series: "No, sadly, my days of playing Will LaMontagne Jr. are over. You guys have been the absolute best." But with today being a new day, we thought we would balance things out with some great news. That's right – filming is underway and we are beginning to get some interesting looks at the set as the team continues bringing the next chapters to life.

"The BAU is Back! The new season of #CriminalMinds: Evolution is officially in production," read the caption to the Instagram post – but it's the behind-the-scenes images from the set that we know you're looking forward to so here they are:

In Criminal Minds: Evolution, the FBI's elite team of criminal profilers come up against their greatest threat yet, an UnSub who has used the pandemic to build a network of other serial killers. As the world opens back up and the network goes operational, the team must hunt them down, one murder at a time. Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez, Paget Brewster, Josh Stewart, and more starred, with Zach Gilford joining the cast as global cyber-security firm operation analyst Elias Voit. In addition, Nicole Pacent (Westworld, Call Me Kat) joined the cast in the key recurring role of Rebecca, a lawyer with the U.S. Department of Justice who reveals some disturbing news about the BAU's fate. The streaming series is produced by ABC Signature and CBS Studios. Erica Messer (Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders) serves as showrunner, executive producer, and writer. Breen Frazier and Chris Barbour will serve as writers and executive producers, with Glenn Kershaw directing & executive producing and Mark Gordon serving as an executive producer.
