CRIMINAL MINDS: A MESSAGE FROM ED BERNERO:

Criminal Minds Executive Producer Ed Bernero checks in with the Criminal Minds Fanatics:

Hey Fanatics!

Ed Bernero here. Just want to tell you all how excited we are with the upcoming season. We had a great read-thru today of our fourth episode (written by Deb and Erica) and it’s the last day filming our third (written by Andrew) so we are definitely off and running.

We’re pretty excited about the things we’re doing and I think you are all going to be excited as well. The cast is, as always, doing amazing work and the scripts just get scarier and scarier. Then there’s the crew, who have always been great but this year are practically performing miracles. Seriously, there doesn’t seem to be anything we ask of them that they can’t do better than we hoped.

I read the reaction to the spinoff questions. Let me clarify that there are always discussions about spinoffs of shows but that there is no deal in place to make one and we don’t even know yet what form a spinoff would take if we did do one. One thing we all agree on — the show, the studios and the network — is that we love Criminal Minds and wouldn’t do anything to damage it.

I can’t wait for September to roll around so we can get back on the air and you can start seeing eps again. Thanks for still talking about us and still thinking about us over the summer.
