Confirmed Return of Elias Voit for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3
Those who enjoy the Paramount+ series Criminal Minds: Evolution can find relief knowing showrunner Erica Messer has confirmed Elias Voit will be back for season 3. Voit will escape his jail attack and go on terrorizing the BAU even though he is left for dead in the season 2 finale.
The Finale of the Cliffhangers
Under the direction of Deputy Director Bailey's brother Pete, under the influence of Elias Voit, the season 2 finale saw the BAU effectively destroying the Gold Star network. But Voit was stabbed repeatedly in prison at the conclusion of the episode.
Speaking with The Wrap, Messer said the writers opted to bring Voit back even though originally they intended to cut off his arc in season 1. She also indicated that Voit will be a regular feature in season 3, leaving viewers to conjecture on the specifics of his survival and future intentions.
Voit's Emergency and Escape Strategy
Voit's survival depends on an enigmatic moment in the last episode. Voit is shown waiting outside Penelope Garcia's apartment while the BAU celebrates their triumph. This suggests a bigger scheme maybe including a coordinated attack meant to enable his escape.
The show has regularly highlighted Voit's slyness and ability to keep one step ahead of the BAU. His insistence on being sent to the main jail population, in spite of his inclination for solitude, supports the idea that he meant to plan a false attack.
Voit's Longstanding Danger
The episode in the jail reminds us sharply that Voit's menace has not been completely contained within the BAU. Even if he might not be active right now, his influence and capacity for anarchy remain.
Season 3's emphasis probably will be on discovering the secret behind Voit's survival and escape. It will also look in the aftermath of this incident and how the BAU handles the fresh threat the sly and erratic criminal mastermind presents. Still unanswered is whether the BAU can at last place Voit under permanent storage.
The Ongoing Criminal Minds: Evolution Story
Emphasizing the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) as they probe a network of serial killers active following the COVID-19 epidemic, Evolution has carried on the heritage of the original series. Along with newcomer Zach Gilford, who joins the group for a season-long arc, the program has a star-studded ensemble including returning veterans Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez, and Paget Brewster.
Offering exciting investigations, fascinating human relationships, and a novel perspective on the realm of criminal profiling, the series has shown to be a riveting comeback of the Criminal Minds brand.
