Matthew Gray Gubler had previously stated that he was ready to move on after playing Spencer Reid for 15 years, so he won’t be returning. Also, there is no word from Daniel Henney, who is currently starring in The Wheel Of Time. The actors who are returning are said to be signed for 10 new seasons, though this needs to be validated.
