Felicity Huffman is set to join the cast of 'Criminal Minds: Evolution' Season 2 in a guest star role, as reported by Variety. Huffman will portray Dr. Jill Gideon, a character described as a brilliant biological psychiatrist and the ex-wife of Jason Gideon within the series. Dr. Gideon will assist the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit in investigating a murderous conspiracy theory, despite her reservations due to her complex history with David Rossi and her deceased ex-husband, Jason Gideon.
The second season of 'Criminal Minds: Evolution' is currently in production and will feature Huffman alongside series regulars A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Zach Gilford, Ryan-James Hatanaka, Adam Rodriguez, and Paget Brewster.

The show is helmed by showrunner and executive producer Erica Messer, with additional executive producers including Breen Frazier, Chris Barbour, Glenn Kershaw, and Mark Gordon. 'Criminal Minds: Evolution' is produced by ABC Signature and CBS Studios.
