Paget Brewster to Return to CRIMINAL MINDS for 200th Episode

Paget Brewster will return to CRIMINAL MINDS as Emily Prentiss for its 200th episode. The milestone episode will air later this season on the CBS Television Network.

"Our 200th episode is going to be a special show," said Executive Producer/Showrunner Erica Messer. "We can't imagine telling this story without Paget being present."

In the episode, glimpses into the past shed light onto what happened to JJ Jareau (A.J. Cook) during her year away from the BAU, and will also prove valuable in the team's efforts to solve a present day case. Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness and Jeanne Tripplehorn also star. Brewster starred for six seasons on CRIMINAL MINDS. Her final episode aired May 16, 2012.

CRIMINAL MINDS revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again. The Behavioral Analysis Unit's most experienced agent is David Rossi, a founding member of the BAU, who is essential in helping the team solve new cases. The BAU team is led by Special Agent Aaron Hotchner, a strong profiler who is able to gain people's trust and unlock their secrets. Other members include Special Agent Derek Morgan, an expert on obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid, a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, the team's former unit liaison-turned-profiler who recently married her longtime love; Penelope Garcia, the team's indispensible computer wizard who helps research the cases with her unique charm; and the team's newest member, Alex Blake, who rejoins the FBI after a stint as a university teacher and brings her linguistics expertise to the BAU. After finally conquering their serial stalker, "The Replicator," who threatened the team's existence, the BAU emerged stronger and more dedicated to use their expertise to pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.
