Actor Tim Kang announced the series cancellation back in September.
"This is our 7th and final season," Kang, who plays FBI Agent Kimball Cho, tweeted. "Looking at the scripts now, it's so fun and such a great season!"
While it is unknown how The Mentalist will chose to make its final bow, Baker hopes the program won't have a fairy-tale happy ending.
"Personally, I think he's a tragic figure," Baker explained to the Philippine Daily Inquirer "To me, when we were putting the character together in the very early days, he was a tragic character. Like all the great love stories-'Romeo and Juliet'-there's tragedy. I always felt that. But I get shouted down."
