It’s essentially season 16 of Criminal Minds, with the ‘Evolution’ subtitle serving as a way to identify the season as a bold new chapter in the franchise’s history, premiering on Paramount+ and Disney+ in the UK.
Created by Jeff Davis, the series has been going since 2005 and the latest season finale recently reached fans on Thursday, February 9th 2023.
Needless to say, there was so much to digest across the installment, including an emotional title card. Speaking of which, who is Harry Bring in the Criminal Minds: Evolution tribute?

Harry Bring’s death explored
Tragically, Harry passed away after a battle with cancer on February 18th 2021.
He was 77 years old and Variety reports that his son, Brad Bring, announced his father’s passing on Facebook at the time:
“Today we lost a legend at 77 year young. Harry Bring succumbed to a life full of laughter and hard work, dedication to family and friends and the love he had for Rhonda Leeds-Bring. He fought cancer for years and kicked its ass. That let him enjoy USC, the SF Giants, the Rams, hating on 45 and his grandkids a little longer.”
Brad added: “He embodied the Fight ON spirit of the Trojans.”
Deadline reports that Harry was originally the co-executive producer on Criminal Minds from 2011 but stepped up to executive producer from 2017.
