How will Agent Simmons make the transition from Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders to Criminal Minds? Recently, executive producer Erica Messer spoke with Entertainment Weekly about season 13 of the CBS TV show.

As reported earlier, former Beyond Borders star Daniel Henney has joined the cast of long-running crime drama, which also stars Joe Mantegna, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook, and Kirsten Vangsness.

Messer told EW that Agent Simmons (Henney) is called in to help locate the BAU team after that season 12 cliffhanger ending:

Garcia [Kirsten Vangsness] has just learned that her team is in trouble. And the first person she calls is Agent Simmons. He drives them to the site of the last known signal from the team. They discover this horrific car accident. Once they see who is injured, they discover that someone is missing.”

Season 13 of Criminal Minds premieres on CBS on September 27th at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
