The Mentalist: Scoop on the future of the CBI team from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos

Here's some scoop on The Mentalist from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat column, which was posted on 11/27/13.

Fiona: Still can't get over The Mentalist revealing and killing Red John! Thanks for telling us what's next for Jane, but what about the rest of the team?
Funny you should ask, as creator Bruno Heller says the CBI team is heading into unknown territory for the first time in the show's history, so he's a bit curious as well. "I think for the other characters it's a little like they're children of divorce, you know, what's next? They've been enthralled in someone else's mission and now that mission is gone," he explains. "They were in a world they didn't choose and now they're in a world that's changing around them, again not of their own volition. What this is going to be for these characters is a process of growing up." (Of course, Amanda Righetti has confirmed her exit from the CBS series.)
