Does the end of Red John mean the end of The Mentalist?
The death of the elusive serial killer heralded the end of Wayne Rigsby's (Owain Yeoman) role on the series, and Yeoman believes it could bring an end to The Mentalist as well.
"The main mythology, or certainly the main protagonist of the show, for me, was always Jane's hunting Red John," Yeoman explained to TV Guide. "I think that the minute that you find Red John, you have to then find a completely different part in the Jane character, because Jane was always driven by that. And in many respects, maybe not too many people want to see him live this blissful life where he could move on...I think if this were the year that things were to wrap up, I don't think anyone would have a problem with that."
While some fans may not want to follow Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) into his new future, there are many viewers who would still like to see Jane and Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) have a romantic relationship before the series comes to an end. With Lisbon about to enter into a relationship with another FBI agent, a Jisbon pairing may not come to pass if The Mentalist fails to return for a seventh season.
The Mentalist airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on CBS. A decision regarding a season 7 renewal should be made in May.
