The possibility of Gubler reprising his role as Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 is still uncertain, but he has been seen spending time with his former co-stars. However, Reid's comeback is more likely now as he continues to be involved with the BAU and maintains a strong rapport with his fellow cast members.

Will Matthew Gray Gubler's Reid Finally Come Back In Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2

There has been much speculation surrounding Gubler's potential return in the second season of Criminal Minds: Evolution. As the BAU continues their pursuit of Sicarius and his network of serial killers, Reid's whereabouts remain ambiguous. Nonetheless, it has been confirmed that he still plays a crucial role as a member of Emily Prentiss' team, although he is preoccupied with other matters. This leaves the door wide open for his return if Gubler ultimately decides to participate in the Paramount+ project.

Recently, Gubler has been seen in public with a couple of his former co-stars from Criminal Minds. Prior to meeting with Vangsness, he also ran into Joe Mantegna, who played Dave Rossi on the show, and they even had dinner together. Although there was no mention of discussing Reid's return in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2, it's hard to believe that the topic didn't come up, especially since Mantegna is fully aware of the fans' desire for Gubler's character to come back.

The uncertainty of whether Reid will appear in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 still remains. However, with Gubler's strong connection to his former cast mates and his continued involvement with the BAU, it would not be a difficult task to reintroduce him in the Paramount+ show. In any case, there is no rush for the actor to make a decision since the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have indefinitely delayed the production of season 2.
