The first trailer for Criminal Minds: Evolution is here, and it's a doozy.

In the teaser, the gang from the Behavioral Analysis Unit come back together to solve a mega-case: a network of serial killers.

"All my years as a profiler, I studied killers, but I never studied what a pandemic would do to them," Joe Mantegna's Dave Rossi says in the trailer. "They couldn't move, they couldn't hunt, so they started communicating to become better predators."

This network of serial killers might also include a newcomer to the series, Friday Night Lights alum Zach Gilford. The actor plays Elias Voit, an operations analyst for a global cyber-security firm who has a dark side and obsession with death, according to TVLine.

Two years after Criminal Minds' finale in 2020, Evolution — which is a 10-episode. limited-run continuation of the story — sees the return of Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss), A.J. Cook (JJ), Kirsten Vangsness (Garcia), Aisha Tyler (Tara) and Adam Rodriguez (Luke).
