Criminal Minds
After negotiations withCriminal Mindsproducers , former regular A. J. Cook has agreed to retort for two more seasons . Her character Jennifer “ JJ ” Jareau will return to the show for time of year 7 this fall .
Speculation about Cook ’s returnbegan last calendar week , after serial publication executive producer Ed Bernero announced that he was leavingCriminal Minds . She wo n’t have been gone long - Cook only left the show last yr , at the showtime of season 6 . She sign on to play the JJ fictional character for at least two more years after the writers and producers get up with fresh story ideas for her graphic symbol .
The casting situation onCriminal Mindshas been hectic ( at better ) these last few years . Cook left at the begining of Season 6 and co - star Paget Brewsterleft 6 months later . Joe Mantegna stepped in to take Mandy Patinkin ’s spot in season 3 , and Brewster herself accept over Lola Glaudini ’s daub as an SSA after time of year 1 . Rachel Nichols currently play Ashley Seaver , root for two-fold obligation covering the distaff purpose for both Cook and Brewster .
Speaking of Nichols : it ’s unconvincing that she ’ll stay on after Cook returns . While the secret plan ofCriminalMindscertainly has room for another FBI agent , CBS ’s budget probably wo n’t . Unless something bechance behind the scenes , I would be surprised to see Nichols make a graceful exit early next season .
repay Cook to her normal role is a big win for fans of the crime drama . The constant cast change have n’t sit around well with witness , or for that topic , shape member . And if sealed conditions are contact , Cook may not be the only one coming back …
rumour of Paget Brewster ( who plays Emily Prentiss ) returning have yet to be verified . Supposedly the actress will wait for news onMy Life As An Experiment , a cowcatcher labor in which sheplays a leading use . If NBC picks up the comedy for a first season , her hand would be full , but if the project give out in the pilot stage , Brewster may descend back toCriminal Minds .
