As Much as We Want Thomas Gibson Back on Criminal Minds' Last Season, It's Unlikely

In a perfect world, all of our favorite characters from Criminal Minds would be reunited for one last hurrah in its 15th and final season. After all, the show is ending — don’t we deserve to say goodbye to everyone who made it so awesome? It does sound as though executive producer Erica Messer is doing everything in her power to make her dreams come true. In a January 2019 interview with Deadline, Messer spoke about the possibility of including old favorites in the final season, saying, “I am very hopeful that we can honor all of those characters who have been beloved and with this team, with the audience for years.” What she didn’t say, and what we’re still wondering, is which of those characters will we actually see.

Based on the cast photos shot for the July/August issue of CBS’s Watch! Magazine, we know that all of our favorite series vets will be reprising their roles, including David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Jennifer “J.J.” Jareau (A.J. Cook), Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler), Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez), and Matt Simmons (Daniel Henney). We also know that Hallmark Channel star Rachael Leigh Cook will be joining the cast as Spencer Reid’s love interest, Max, and that Jane Lynch is set to make an appearance this season as Reid’s mother, Diana. Best of all, there’s a chance that we may even see Shemar Moore return as fan favorite Derek Morgan.
