Reminiscent of the season 4 closer, the showrunner tells THR that the seventh season will close out with a two-hour finale.
Criminal Minds is hitting another milestone: 150 episodes.
Riding strong in season 7, the CBS procedural has had its share of headline-making news with numerous cast departures — and subsequent returns. Still, the show — centered on an eclectic team of profilers in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) — continues to average nearly 13 million total viewers per week in its current season and showing no signs of significant ratings deterioration.
“Episode 200 would be during season 9 so bring us back. It’s not that far away.,” showrunner Erica Messer half-joked to The Hollywood Reporter, referencing network-mate NCIS‘ big feat airing Feb. 7.
Messer, who has been with Criminal Minds since the very beginning, chatted with THR on two separate occasions — once in November during filming and again just one day before air — about the show’s evolution, details of episode 150 (suspect: serial rapist called The Piano Man) and hints at the season 7 finale (hint: it’s two hours).
The Hollywood Reporter: Seven seasons and still going strong. How has Criminal Minds evolved?
Erica Messer: The one thing we’ve been able to continue to do is tell fresh and compelling stories. Early on people were afraid this show wouldn’t have enough bad guys to last a year and here we are seven years in. The way we’ve evolved is really through our characters. We’ve been able to learn more and more about the heroes that are chasing the bad guys. No matter what crazy world we take you into every week, the faces that are there are the constants. It’s like lightening in a bottle and it doesn’t happen often.
