A Bittersweet Goodbye to ‘Criminal Minds’
In 2025, fans of ‘Criminal Minds’ were shocked to learn that Stewart’s character, Will, had been killed off in a dramatic episode. The news came as a surprise to both the actor and the show’s creators, who had planned the character’s demise for some time. Stewart, who had been a part of the show since 2007, took the news in stride, acknowledging that it’s all part of the business.
