What To Expect From The Next Season?
In the last season finale of Criminal Minds, fans saw Rossi and the squad chasing for “The Chameleon”. Meanwhile, Spencer recovered from his life or death experience.

And as another “selfless action,” Penelope left her position at the BAU to work for a non-profit. The season ended with the colleagues reflecting on some of the joyful moments from their past.
Criminal Minds’ case of the week approach was one of the viewers’ favorite things about the series. If Criminal Minds Season 16 is a limited series, it would be unusual for the creators to modify the formula now.
