"Criminal Minds" is about to make a killer change into their upcoming episodes. It has been named as the favourite TV crime drama by the People's Choice Awards and they are going to screw new serialized stories. According to the executive producer of the crime drama series, Erica Messer, the drama will expose something new in the character's personal history which may have reflective effect on its professional life.

As per Entertainment Weekly, Messer said that they are going to do something that their team hasn't deal with yet. For twelve long years of telling stories, they are now ready to enter the unknown. She added that audience might be shocked as they are going to went into new direction for their heroes. Further, the executive producer somehow won't tell yet as to who will be the actor who's going to change its major character.

Meanwhile, February 1 will be the kick-off of the new storyline and Jane Lynch will be reprising her role being the mom of Reid. This is the upcoming point of the plot which Messer thinks that will open so many doors for them. Further, she even added that the crime drama series might somehow be turned into a soap opera however the upcoming storyline will be something different from what they usually do.

On the other hand, it will be expected that the season 12 episodes of the drama series will become more serialized, Messer added it on her talk. They had been incredible enough in telling stories in each week and now they are threading it into a larger narrative, Catermatt reported.

After the brief hiatus of the TV series, this will be airing soon on February with an installment title of "Surface Tension" which will feature the return of a certain character, Jane Lynch. The team is still keeping individual cases which allow the show to preserve some of its identities as they play very well with its syndication.
