Brewster said that even though she was not able to do the show, Criminal Minds still has plenty of assets on the cast list, including Aisha Tyler. As mentioned earlier, Tyler will be filling in where Heweitt left off and Brewster thinks it is a great fit.
Her new role will include, according to reports, “stare down and interview” the criminals that they deal with on the show. As a forensic psychologist, Tyler will be bringing many of her talents to the new position on the show. She has been able to stare down and interview these types this whole time, so the transition should be smooth.
To get through ten full seasons these days is a tough task to accomplish. It really says a lot that CBS renewed for an eleventh season and it also says a lot about what kind of loyal fans that show has.
