‘Criminal Minds’ season 9 spoilers: AJ Cook on learning more of JJ’s past
One such example of that? Learning more about the year JJ was away from the team, and the past connection she has with new section chief Mateo Cruz, who will be joining the show a few episodes in. Speaking to TVLine on this very subject, AJ Cook explained a little about what she is very much looking forward to seeing here:
“I’ve always gone to the writers asking about who JJ is, so it’s really exciting for me that we’re going to get some answers. Season 9 is really about learning more backstory for all of our characters, and we’ll be doing a lot of that in a flashback format. But yeah, JJ’s getting a little attention because we just don’t know too much about her — and there is this “connection” between her and our new section chief, and that’s going to raise some eyebrows.”
Cook’s story is going to be particularly significant in the upcoming 200th episode, which is being thought of in some ways as a cornerstone. It’s one that viewers also expect a little something extra for, and the challenge for the cast and the writers is to deliver that.
