Many followers of Legal Minds: Evolution are already wanting ahead to Matthew Grey Gubler returning as Spencer Reid when Season 3 of the revival premieres on the 2025 TV schedule, and now they’ve received one thing else to have fun. The crime drama has already been renewed for Season 4, and Aisha Tyler’s response to the excellent news included an A+ reference to the film Se7en.
It was confirmed on March 5 that Legal Minds: Evolution (which may be streamed with a Paramount+ subscription) would return for a fourth cycle — or nineteenth, for those who rely the primary 15 seasons that aired on CBS. Aisha Tyler was excited as she posted the information to her Instagram Tales, however I can’t assist however be slightly freaked out by her reference to probably the most mind-blowing plot twists in film historical past, as she wrote:
It’s virtually not possible for anybody who was round in 1995 to listen to the phrases, “What’s within the field?” and never instantly flash to Se7en’s notorious ending and Brad Pitt as detective David Mills wailing as he realizes that his spouse has develop into a sufferer of John Doe, one of many smartest film villains, who murdered her to hold out the “envy” portion of his seven lethal sins rampage. (Sorry for the spoiler, nevertheless it’s been 30 years.)
Given the BAU’s Hannibal Lecter-esque relationship with serial killer Elias Voit (Zach Gilford), which is anticipated to proceed in Season 3 following that surprising Season 2 finale, the parallels between Se7en and Legal Minds: Evolution aren’t misplaced on me. (Some commenters even urged Spencer Reid was within the field, however I hope they weren’t simply speaking about his head.)
It’s fairly thrilling, and along with her cryptic Tales publish, Aisha Tyler — aka Tara Lewis — additionally gave a spirited, “LFGOOOOOOOOOO 🔎🩸📝” on her Instagram web page.
In the meantime, Joe Mantegna (who performs David Rossi) invoked a special glorious piece of ‘90s media to have fun the sequence’ continuation, utilizing *NSYNC’s “Right here We Go” on his personal Instagram Tales publish because the cheerful ditty to accompany that very same picture of the BAU members circled round a desk watching an open field that sits within the middle of it:
I get fewer serial killer vibes from *NSYNC, however nonetheless, the field factor is fairly unsettling.
Legal Minds: Evolution usually occupies an area in Paramount+’s Prime 10, so I’d think about followers are fairly hyped about being simply a few months away from Season 3’s premiere. Like the primary two, the third season will comprise 10 episodes, and this time, we’ll choose up six months after the occasions of the Season 2 finale.
The Legal Minds revival started filming its third season in August and wrapped in December, which is when Matthew Grey Gubler revealed that he’d “filmed a brand new episode of Legal Minds.” We’ll should see if Spencer Reid does, in reality, materialize for only one episode — and in what capability — when Evolution Season 3 premieres on Thursday, Could 8, on Paramount+.
