A.J. Cook Returns to ‘Criminal Minds’ for Two More Episodes This Fall!

AJ-Cook2

Following a fan-driven campaign to keep her on the show, departing “Criminal Minds” star A.J. Cook announced today that she will be back this fall for two more episodes.

Cook, who plays Special Agent Jennifer “J.J.” Jareau, tweeted tonight:

Thanks for your undying support but it’s a done deal. I’ll be doing 2 [episodes] to wrap up [my storyline]. [I am] excited for what’s next and hope you’ll come along!

Word that producers weren’t picking up Cook’s contract leaked a little over a week ago. Her costar Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss), who almost got the boot as well, is reportedly working out a “reduced episode” deal for season six.

Up next for Cook is a part in director Darren Lynn Bousman’s (Saw 3) psycho-family frightener Mother’s Day, opposite Rebecca De Mornay, Jaime King, and “True Blood’s” Deborah Ann Wolf.

Cook’s horror creds include Final Destination 2, Ripper, Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell, The House Next Door, Bloodsuckers, Night Skies, and the Fox television series “Tru Calling.”
