Back in May, executive producer Erica Messer mentioned that they were already starting on script for “Criminal Minds” Season 12 and part of that included “Mr. Scratch”.
“We do know that we want Mr. Scratch to be part of Season 12 in some capacity, or at least the idea of Mr. Scratch being out there. Everything else will be the fun of getting the writers together and to say, "If we could bring back anyone in the last 11 years, who would you want it to be?" said Messer via TV Guide of "Criminal Minds" Season 12.
For those who may be unaware, “Peter Lewis” aka “Mr. Scratch” is played by Bodhi Elfman and had already appeared on the show as a hacker, serial killer and stalker back in season 10.
