Kidnap, trauma and a female serial killer: 'Criminal Minds' season 14 has it all, says Kirsten Vangsness as she dishes on the intense season premiere

Kirsten Vangsness, who plays Penelope Garcia on the CBS crime drama, has a lot to say about what to expect from the new season after the shocker finale in the previous one
PUBLISHED OCT 2, 2018

'Criminal Minds' is back for the 14th season and from the looks of it, it is the best one so far! While the show left us with a huge cliffhanger in April, little did we know that it would come back with a cure. FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) favorites Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) and Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) were abducted by a mass murderer with little to no hope of survival. These two are badasses in their own right but this time, the bad guy really got them. This shocker of an episode was followed with the news of a season renewal in May and we all breathed a little easy.

Although they still haven't been rescued, there's no need to worry about them, reveals actor Kirsten Vangsness in an interview with MEAWW. "I would say for sure that I wouldn't worry about us coming back because we are four episodes in and we are still there," says Vangsness reassuringly.
