‘Dexter’ & ‘Lucifer’ Actress Aimee Garcia Joins ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ For Season 3

EXCLUSIVE: Aimee Garcia (Dexter, Lucifer) has joined Criminal Minds: Evolution for the Paramount+ series’ third season.

In a multiple-episode arc, Garcia will portray Dr. Julia Ochoa, one of the country’s leading neuropsychiatrists who is assigned to help a high-profile patient recover from his injury-induced brain trauma. She clashes with Alvez (Adam Rodriguez) who, by contrast, believes in a more aggressive approach than her gentle approach.

In the wake of last season’s shocking finale, Season 3 picks up as the FBI’s elite team of profilers investigates the deadly mystery of Gold Star. As the conspiracy unfolds, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is met with an unexpected complication when serial killer Elias Voit negotiates a deal that transfers him to federal custody in the BAU’s own backyard. The team faces its biggest threat yet and cannot emerge unscathed from the mind-bending consequences.
