Criminal Minds boss breaks down that explosive series finale
— quite literally — went out with a bang. Here, the show’s longtime executive producer Erica Messer talks about the “bittersweet” process of saying goodbye to the drama after 15 seasons, and how the writers actually considered a few out-of-the-box ideas to give fans one last, crazy thrill.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Before we talk about that final scene, did you consider really going for broke during these final episodes by doing stuff you’ve never done before, like a musical episode?Yeah, there was crazy stuff thrown out in the room, and we didn’t just shoot it down. We would say, “Okay, how could that happen?” The idea of a live episode or… what do you call it?… a documentary film crew following the crew around.
We did. Some people love telling procedural stories and especially serial killer stories. So some plan to keep pursuing that. Others like myself wanted to step away from it a little bit and look for the light in the world instead of all this darkness. But everybody who’s been on this show has an incredible skill set that we can’t ignore. It’s the skill set of being able to tell a mystery and being able to tell a character-driven procedural. It’s been a lot of fun.
