Looks like we're one step closer to solving the case of when Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 will be here, thanks to a major clue from Paget Brewster.

The hit Paramount+ drama has been filming new episodes since late in the summer, and folks have been hoping to hear more info about when they can watch Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3. Well, in a post uploaded on X (formerly Twitter) on December 13, the fan-favorite actress gave the ultimate holiday present about the show's current status.

As Paget posted a selfie of her in full glam as BAU unit chief Emily Prentiss, she revealed that she and the rest of the cast had finished filming ahead of the upcoming installment.

"@criminalminds ⁩wraps season 18 tonight," she wrote in the caption. "We are optimistic we’ll get a season 19. Thank you all for your incredible support over these many years. We want more. More of you with us. Happy Holidays. We love you and thank you."

When fans saw this incredible show update from Paget, it immediately caused a stir in the comments.

"Manifesting season 19!! thank you for all you do for us! we thank you and the rest of the cast and crew for giving us our comfort show! can’t wait to see season 18! 💓," one person wrote on X. "I can’t wait to see you on my screen again!! So always make the bad days better," another exclaimed. "Congratulations on another one in the books! it is such a gift to have you gracing our screens 🥂✨🤍," a different follower added.

Now, this is one holiday surprise we weren't expecting! And if Paget confirming Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 is done filming isn't enough, let us remind you that the show shared a major bombshell about who's expected to return for the new season.

Thanks to a report from Deadline and the Italian outlet Ansa in early December, folks learned actor Matthew Gray Gubler would be reprising his role as Dr. Spencer Reid for one episode. While the details of why his character is coming back to the BAU are under wraps, we're sure Paget knows a thing or two about it.

Can Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 come sooner rather than later, please?
