Paget Brewster has been made a series regular on CRIMINAL MINDS. As previously announced, Brewster is already set to guest star in multiple episodes, reprising her role as SSA Emily Prentiss. Her first episode is tentatively scheduled to air Wednesday, Oct. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM), on the CBS Television Network.

"We're all so excited to have Paget with us full time," said Erica Messer, Executive Producer/Showrunner. "The BAU family has definitely missed her, on screen and off. Having her back on set has been great, it's like she never left."

CRIMINAL MINDS is produced by ABC Studios in association with CBS Television Studios.

About the show: 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 lead 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 Dr. Spencer Reid, a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; Jennifer "J.J." Jareau, the team's former unit liaison-turned-profiler who juggles motherhood and marriage with the same skill as solving cases; Penelope Garcia, the team's indispensible computer wizard who helps research the cases with her unique charm; Dr. Tara Lewis, a forensic psychologist whose expertise is studying and interviewing serial killers after they're captured to determine if they are able to stand trial; and Luke Alvez, a former Army ranger and excellent tracker recruited to the BAU from the FBI's Fugitive Task Force. As the team evolves together, the BAU continues its dedication to using their expertise to pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.
