Matthew Gray Gubler, who plays Dr. Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds, recently talked about his character arc and Paget Brewster's possible return in season 11 of the CBS procedural.

In an interview with Digital Spy at the Monte Carlo TV Festival, Gubler revealed that he hoped that the next chapter would delve more into Reid's personal life.

"I'd love to delve more into his home life and his social life and to see his mother return and just to, kind of, like figure out what he does on the weekends," Gubler said.

Could Ella Greenaway Return For Season 11?

This could mean that Reid's mother Dana, played by Jane Lynch, could be coming back in the next chapter.

The actor also suggestively confirmed the fact that Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) would return in season 11. Previously Joe Mantegna also strongly hinted at Prentiss' involvement in the next chapter. The actor dished about Brewster guest starring in an AMA Reddit fan interaction:

"Well, there's been talk of - there's a chance Paget may make an appearance now and again. Eric our producer mentioned it in an interview that there's a possibility that Paget may return from time to time."

The actor also addressed Jennifer Love Hewitt's exit from the show, revealing that he was very sad about that and that they had seen so many exits from the series, that anytime he started to make any friends they'd leave.

The finale of Criminal Minds aired on May 6.
