"Essentially this season is about what happens when life turns out the way you'd hoped," Heller explained to Enstars. "What happens when you do have a happy ending - what happens after that? Jane and Lisbon have been engaged in this epic journey for six years, trying to capture Red John, and now they've done that. How do you live again after that? How do you re-create a different kind of life?"

The Mentalist will kick off the New Year will a visit from Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) brothers. When the agent's little bro is wanted as a witness in an FBI investigation, Lisbon will find herself tangled in family drama during "Little Yellow House."
