One thing they can look forward to in Season 12 is the return of Paget Brewster to the cast list for at least several episodes. The BAU can use more help this year since they’ve got a lot of known and unknown subjects to catch,”Criminal Minds executive producer and showrunner Erica Messer said”. Prentiss has returned twice in the intervening years, including toward the end of last season.
Prentiss was introduced to “Criminal Minds” fans in season 2 as a series regular.
He will play the role of a new special agent by the name of Luis Alves.
