'Criminal Minds' Season 11 Spoilers: Joe Mantegna Back In The Director's Chair [VIDEO]
On August 7, a behind-the-scenes image of Joe Mantegna directing the scene via the official Set_Report Twitter.
Premiere Date For Season 11 Of Criminal Minds
In the image Mantegna, who also plays David Rossi on the show, is seen in the director's chair, headphones on, focussing on the screen.
Previously in an AMA Reddit interaction, Mantegna revealed that he would be directing two episodes of season 11.
The actor has directed episodes in previous seasons of the CBS procedural and he suggested that he will continue to try and bring a more personal angle to the plot with his input, by way of which he will also be focusing more on character development.
He announced that he would be directing the episodes when a fan asked him about how the characters might evolve going forward and if any twists were in store for fans. In what could be a bit of a spoiler he stated that they might reveal his character David Rossi's third wife in season 11:
"I think that when a show's been on so long - I'm directing 2 episodes this season, I've directed one in the last few seasons, and I purposefully try to bring in more personal stories in the scripts I direct. There's always going to be a crime - that's the name of the show, I get it - but there's going to be more character development. As to what that is, you'll have to see. I've been married 3 times, we've dealt with two of my wives so far, so there's a possibility you might find out more about wife number 3."
The finale of Criminal Minds aired on May 6.
