- Deadline reports the decision was recent and is the first cancellation under the Paramount+ team led by Casey Bloys, and that Season 20 finished production before the call was made.Deadline 报道称,这一决定是最近作出的,是 Casey Bloys 领导的 Paramount+ 团队的第一次正式取消,而第20季在决定作出前已完成拍摄。
- Erica Messer, the showrunner, said in a statement carried by both outlets that the team is suddenly navigating the end of this chapter and will celebrate the show's legacy with Season 20.剧集主管 Erica Messer 在两家媒体刊出的同一份声明中表示,团队正在“突然面对这一篇章的结束”,并将通过第20季纪念这部剧留下的东西。
Paramount+ will end the show with season 20Paramount+ 将以第20季完结该剧
Criminal Minds: Evolution will end with its 20th season on Paramount+, Deadline reported on 30 October, and Variety reported the same outcome the same day. Season 20 is scheduled to air in 2027; Variety says no premiere date has been set. The season will be the show's fifth on the streamer, after 15 on CBS, and Deadline describes the ending as the close of a run across two incarnations on two platforms.据Deadline10月30日报道,Variety同日也报道了同一结果:《Criminal Minds: Evolution》将在 Paramount+ 以第20季收尾。第20季定于2027年播出;Variety 称目前尚未确定首播日期。这一季是该剧在流媒体平台的第五季,此前它在 CBS 播出了15季;Deadline 把这次完结形容为一部剧在两个平台上、以两个版本走完的旅程的终点。
Deadline reports that Season 20 finished production earlier this fall, before the decision was made. That timing means the final run was shot without a planned ending, and Deadline's own summary is that the season “will not give fans a proper ending”. Neither report mentions a two-part finale, an extended episode or reshoots, and neither says whether the cast and crew were told before the story broke.Deadline 报道,第20季已于今年秋天早些时候完成拍摄,时间在这一决定之前。这意味着最后一季并不是按照“大结局”来拍的,Deadline 自己的判断也很直接:这一季“不会给观众一个像样的结局”。两篇报道都没有提到双集终章、加长集或补拍,也没有说明剧组是否在消息曝光前就已知情。
Deadline traces the call to new leadershipDeadline 把决定归因于新管理层
Deadline is the only one of the two that addresses why the show is ending. The outlet writes that it hears the decision was made recently, and that it is the first official cancellation for the Paramount+ leadership team under Casey Bloys, co-chair and chief content officer for Skydance Direct to Consumer. Deadline does not say which executives signed off on the call, and Variety does not mention the leadership change at all.两篇报道中只有 Deadline 谈到了剧集结束的原因。该媒体称,它听到的说法是决定最近才作出,并且是 Casey Bloys——Skydance 直接面向消费者业务联席主席兼首席内容官——领导下的 Paramount+ 团队的第一次正式取消。Deadline 没有说明是哪几位高管最终拍板,而 Variety 的报道完全没有提到管理层更替。
According to sources cited by Deadline, the call came on the recommendation of the previous Paramount+ regime, which in March gave the series an early Season 20 renewal ahead of the Season 19 debut. Variety's account carries no reason for the decision; it records that the show was revived for Season 16 in 2022 and that Season 19 aired between May and July this year, and it reports the ending as something the outlet learned rather than as an announcement.据 Deadline 引述的消息人士,这一决定是依据上一届 Paramount+ 管理层的建议作出的;那一届管理层曾在3月、第19季首播之前提前续订了第20季。Variety 的报道没有给出任何原因,只记录该剧于2022年以第16季在平台重启,第19季在今年5月至7月间播出,并把完结写成该媒体自己获知的消息,而非官方宣布;这一措辞本身就说明,它不是由片方主动公布的收尾。
A Top 10 series and an open cost question仍在 Top 10,成本问题没有答案
Deadline reports the series is still performing well and currently sits in Paramount+'s Top 10. The outlet says the decision may be tied to how that performance measures up against cost, or to the nature of a broadcast-style series on a streaming service. Deadline names it as the last of its kind on Paramount+, after the platform's continuations of SEAL Team, Frasier and NCIS: Tony & Ziva. Neither report carries a per-episode or per-season budget figure.Deadline 报道,该剧表现依然不错,目前位列 Paramount+ 的 Top 10。该媒体称,这一决定可能与这一表现相对成本的衡量有关,也可能与“一部广播式剧集放在流媒体上”的性质有关。Deadline 称它是 Paramount+ 上最后一部此类剧集,此前该平台还延续过《SEAL Team》《Frasier》和《NCIS: Tony & Ziva》。两篇报道都没有给出单集或整季的预算数字,也就是说,关于成本的一切都停留在可能性上,没有变成结论。
Deadline also quotes Jane Wiseman, Paramount+'s former head of originals, who left the company last week in the wake of the merger. In August she said she and her team were “big fans” of the show and that she was open to more series in that mold. The same report notes that HBO Max, now a Skydance sibling, has a model for broadcast-shaped dramas: 15-episode orders, procedural elements and a yearly cadence at streaming-level budgets, with The Pitt as its example.Deadline 还引述了 Paramount+ 前原创内容负责人 Jane Wiseman,她在合并之后于上周离职。她在8月曾表示,自己和团队是《Criminal Minds: Evolution》的“big fans”,并愿意做更多同类剧集。同一篇报道还提到,现为 Skydance 姊妹公司的 HBO Max 对这类“广播式”剧集已有成熟做法:每季15集的大订单、程序化叙事元素与年度播出节奏,同时保持流媒体级别的质感,并以《The Pitt》为例。
The showrunner's statement剧集主管的声明
Erica Messer, the showrunner and executive producer, gave both outlets the same statement. “It’s hard to put into words what ‘Criminal Minds’ has meant to all of us who have been fortunate enough to be part of this extraordinary journey, first on CBS for 15 seasons and then on Paramount+ for five,” she said, adding that while suddenly navigating the end of this chapter she is filled with gratitude for the cast, writers, directors and crew. She also thanked the fans whose loyalty, in her words, has kept the show going for two decades.剧集主管兼执行制片人 Erica Messer 向两家媒体给出了同一份声明。她说:“很难用语言表达《Criminal Minds》对我们所有有幸参与这段非凡旅程的人意味着什么;先是在 CBS 的15季,然后是 Paramount+ 的五年。”她接着说,在突然面对这一篇章结束时,她对演员、编剧、导演和剧组心怀感激。她也感谢了观众,并称正是观众的忠诚让这部剧走了二十年。
Deadline reads the statement as a sign that Messer’s statement, in Deadline’s reading, indicated that the cancellation decision was sudden and likely unexpected. The statement does not name an executive, a reason or a date, and it does not call Season 20 a finale. Both outlets carry the same text, and it is the only statement from the show in either report; neither carries a response from Mantegna, Cook or the other leads.Deadline 将这份声明解读为 Messer“暗示取消决定来得很突然、很可能出乎意料”。声明没有点名任何高管,没有说明原因或时间,也没有把第20季称为大结局。两家媒体刊出的是同一份文本,这也是两篇报道中唯一来自剧组的表态;两篇都没有 Mantegna、Cook 等主演的回应。
Twenty seasons, tied for fifth on the drama list二十季,与剧情类剧集长度榜第五位并列
Deadline puts the combined run at 20 seasons, 15 on CBS and five on Paramount+, and notes that the total ties the show for fifth among the longest-running drama series. The four ahead of it are Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order, NCIS and Grey's Anatomy. Deadline calls it remarkable that all four are still on the air, and its count assumes the combined run stays at 20 seasons.Deadline 把两段播出合并计算为20季——CBS 15季、Paramount+ 5季——并指出这一总数使该剧并列成为播出时间最长的剧情类剧集第五名。排在前面的四部是《Law & Order: Special Victims Unit》《Law & Order》《NCIS》和《Grey's Anatomy》,Deadline 特别提到这四部目前都仍在播出,而它的统计前提是合并计算就停留在20季。
Variety frames the same number differently, counting the 2022 revival as Season 16 and the current run as the 20th. It describes the show as following the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, a team of profilers tasked with analysing and capturing the country's most dangerous criminals before they strike again, and notes that Evolution picks up after the events of the original, which ran 15 seasons on CBS.Variety 对同一数字的算法不同:它把2022年的重启算作第16季,把当前这一季算作第20季。它把该剧描述为围绕 FBI 行为分析科(BAU)展开——一支由侧写师组成的团队,任务是在全国最危险的罪犯再次作案之前分析并抓获他们;并指出《Evolution》承接原剧的事件,而原剧在 CBS 播出了15季。Deadline 则从另一侧记录同一段历史:原剧先被 CBS 取消,随后才在流媒体上获得新生,它把这次接手形容为该剧“逃过一劫”。
The cast, the producers and what is unanswered演员、制片方与仍未回答的问题
Both reports list the same cast: Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler and RJ Hatanaka, with Adam Rodriguez and Paget Brewster. Messer executive produces with Breen Frazier, Chris Barbour, Glenn Kershaw, Stacey Hardt and Mark Gordon, and the series is produced by 20th Television and CBS Studios. Neither outlet reports new contracts, a spin-off or a feature-length close for the franchise.两篇报道列出的演员阵容一致:Joe Mantegna、A.J. Cook、Kirsten Vangsness、Aisha Tyler 和 RJ Hatanaka,以及 Adam Rodriguez 与 Paget Brewster。Messer 与 Breen Frazier、Chris Barbour、Glenn Kershaw、Stacey Hardt、Mark Gordon 共同担任执行制片人,该剧由 20th Television 和 CBS Studios 制作。两篇报道在这一点上没有分歧,也都没有提到新的演员合约、衍生剧或电影版收尾。
What neither report supplies is a premiere date beyond the 2027 window, a statement from Paramount+ or CBS, or any figure behind the cost question. Neither says whether another buyer could pick the show up, and neither describes a finale plan.
