The recent announcement of a new cast member for season 11 of Criminal Minds has come with its set of hints.

Could Ella Greenaway Return For Season 11?

CBS revealed that Aisha Tyler will be joining the cast as Dr. Tara Lewis a forensic psychologist who specializes in criminal cases. Lewis will most likely be joining the BAU. Recent tweets that came with the announcement tagged Matthew Gray Gubler, who plays Dr. Reid in Criminal Minds, along with Tyler.

Yes, the duo, owing to their professional expertise might be working closely together in the BAU. What would be more interesting is if this were to develop into some kind of romance.

In an interview earlier this year, showrunner Erica Messer had hinted at taking Dr. Reid's romantic life more seriously in season 11. As there was a buzz surrounding his flirtation with a guest character in season 10, Messer said that while that won't last too long, the writers might address the need for a special someone in Reid's life in the next chapter.

"It's been two years. Maeve is something that will never go away in his heart. We want him to smile again and we think everybody else does too," she said.

She went on to add that they would be probably getting on giving Reid more of a personal life. "But we will probably discuss it and figure it out at some point next season," she said.

Tyler's character seems like a very strong candidate, but we're going to have to wait to find out.

The finale of Criminal Minds aired on May 6.
