Season 11 of the American police procedural drama TV series “Criminal Minds” on CBS will premiere on September 30 and based on initial reports, the show will start with a big bang which would enable it to hit the ground running.
Because of the absence of A.J. Cook and Jennifer Love Hewitt as a result of their recent pregnancies and subsequent child births, the Behavioural Analysis Unit (BAU) will be working on filling the role of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Kate Callahan character.
Eventually, Dr. Tara Lewis, played by Aisha Tyler, will emerge as the top choice and she will prove that she is the rightful pick after she helps the team capture its first killer for Season 11. The serial killer leaves distinctive marks on victims’ faces and is determined to take revenge as a reason for his actions.
The killer first injects his victims with something and once they are incapacitated, he will paint their faces before killing them. According to showrunner Erica Messi, the particular modus operandi was the culprit’s way of expressing his insecurity about his appearance.
The criminal, which is being referred to as UnSub, does a lot of weird stuff on his victims including painting their faces. Viewers will eventually discover that he was doing it because he actually possesses a really hard-to-look-at face.
There is also an interesting plotline on the upcoming eleventh season of “Criminal Minds,” featuring a mole in their midst, which has been leaking all the information about the BAU’s ongoing investigations.
They needed to flush out the mole because the team stands to lose a lot as there will be no hope in apprehending criminals. The BAU team will also do everything in its power to flush out the mole in their midst, cites Christian Today.
It has been reported that the investigation will become one of the biggest revelations in the upcoming eleventh season of “Criminal Minds.” The hunt for the mole will coincide actually with the BAU’s mission to track down a villain who has a curious way of treating his victims, cites Venture Capital Post.
In the episode titled “The Dirty Dozen,” American showrunner of the TV series, Erica Messer, disclosed that the case would require the help of the entire BAU team including Aaron Hotchner, played by Thomas Gibson, Dave Rossi, played by Joe Mantegna, Derek Morgan, who plays Shemar Moore, Spencer Reid, played by Matthew Gray Gubler, and Penelope Garcia, played by Kirsten Vangness.
Guest stars for Season 11
The 11th season of “Criminal Minds” will feature a variety of guest stars including Tim Kang of “The Mentalist” and Marisol Nichols of “Teen Wolf.”
The two actors will be featured in an episode titled “The Witness,” which is practically about Marisol Nichols who will play as an FBI agent but who helped the BAU in preventing a vast attack on Los Angeles. Kang will be playing the role of a medical supply worker.
Over the last 10 years, “Criminal Minds” has been known to explore on a week-to-week cases by giving viewers an hour-long crime investigation. The crime procedural will now move forward with a serialized format says showrunner Erica Messer.
With the absence of the characters of A.J. Cook and Jennifer Love Hewitt from the Season 11 of “Criminal Minds” due to their recent child births, the show had to do some refocusing on its storylines and characters to sustain viewer interest.
While there have been numerous plot leaks about the show including some new actors joining the cast of characters, one very interesting subplot that just made the rounds on the internet is the serious leak that the Behavioural Analysis Unit has to deal with.
