Erica had also revealed that fans will be familiar with most of the UnSubs that will be featured in the show in the next season. Amongst them is Mr. Scratch who is often dubbed as one of the worst enemies of the BAU.
He is extremely manipulative in nature and was once able to make Hotch believe that he had killed Morgan, Reid, and Rossi. He also tried to make Hotch shoot them. However, Hotch was able to stop that from happening. It will be quite interesting to see as to what storylines have been planned for this character in the next season.
The show will return to CBS during the latter half of the ongoing year.
