What’s in store for Criminal Minds? Recently, showrunner Erica Messer spoke with TVLine about the CBS TV show’s 15th and final season.

As reported earlier, the long-running crime drama will end after its upcoming 15th season. The cast includes Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, Daniel Henney, and Aisha Tyler.

In the interview, Messer says the end of Criminal Minds is “bittersweet”:

It’s really bittersweet, but I’m so, so grateful to the cast and the crew and the fans enough to end this properly.”

And what about the season 14 finale, which airs on CBSCBS for giving us this heads-up. I think one of my biggest fears was always, ‘Oh man, what if we don’t know’ and then they just don’t bring back the show? But they respect this series and on February 6th? Messer revealed:

I don’t want to give much away, because I want this to be a ride for everybody. But it’s going to be a must-see episode, for sure. It airs February 6, and then people won’t see us for a while, so you will not want to miss Rossi’s wedding… and everything that leads up to it.”
