Once the dust that comes with pulling Prentiss "out of the grave" settles, CBS' Criminal Minds will take a breath and use some of its seventh season to explore the more personal side of the hard-working BAU agents.
"Every time we can reveal another layer of one of our characters, all the better," executive producer Erica Messer told TVLine Tuesday at a Paley Center event tributing the crime drama (which returns Sept. 21). "We study how everybody else ticks, how all the bad guys tick, and I want to be able to study our heroes, too. And this season, we've earned that. It's seven years, so I think it's time we get to do that."
For one, A.J. Cook shared with us that the show will revisit William LaMontagne Jr., the onetime New Orleans detective whom viewers first met in Season 2, and in Season 4 emerged as the father of JJ's baby. Third Watch's Josh Stewart will again reprise the role.
"We're going to see her baby's daddy and her baby again, which my actual real-life son will be playing," said Cook. "So it'll be fun. We're definitely going to see into her personal life and what's been happening there."
