The production timeline for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2 has been affected by the current Writer's Guild of America (WGA) strike.
The revival of the hit crime procedural, which stars original cast members, was set for a spring filming start but now faces an indefinite delay due to ongoing labor disputes.

WGA Strike Delays Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2
According to TVLine, the show's production has been delayed indefinitely, with no set window for filming to commence. A "well-placed source" revealed that the show was originally set to begin filming in April but was pushed back to June.
However, with the WGA strike in full swing, the show's start date remains "TBD."
This has left many viewers wondering if the show will even make it to a winter release, let alone a summer one.
Criminal Minds: Evolution is just one of many film and television projects affected by the current WGA strike. The strike, which began on May 2, has seen many writers and producers stepping away from their work to fight for better working conditions, including higher minimum salaries and job security.
Other major television series affected by the strike include Yellowjackets, Abbott Elementary, and Cobra Kai.

Uncertain Future
The future of many current film and television projects is unknown as more writers and producers speak out about the strike. The last WGA strike from 2007 to 2008 lasted three months, but this strike is the largest since then, making it difficult to predict how long it will last.
Until a settlement is reached with the WGA, production on Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2 remains on hold indefinitely.
As one of Paramount+'s most popular crime procedural revivals, Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2 has a devoted fanbase eagerly awaiting its return. However, the current WGA strike is causing delays and uncertainty in the entertainment industry.
With no set timeline for production to resume, fans of the show will have to wait and see what the future holds.
