Criminal Minds Evolution Paget Brewster

“It was exhilarating but also, ‘wait a minute, is this really going to happen?’” Paget Brewster (who plays Emily Prentiss) recalls about the Zoom regarding Criminal Minds returning. It did happen, with Criminal Minds: Evolution taking the profilers of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) from network with CBS to streaming with Paramount . (Streaming, via Netflix, has also brought in a new generation of fans, the star notes.) “It was [grisly] when on CBS. Looking back now, there was some questionable stuff,” Brewster says in TV Insider’s video interview above. “We did what they said and we had no cursing and no graphic sexual content. We did what we were told to do.”
