"Criminal Minds" showrunner Erica Messer declined to replace Moore immediately, but teased that they will have a new agent in "Criminal Minds" Season 12. "It feels like something that would be natural to do in a premiere, just as we did for most everybody else who has ever come in." Messer told TV Line about introducing a new face in "Criminal Minds."

Now that "Criminal Minds" Season 12 is confirmed, Shemar Moore's replacement is confirmed as well. Erica Messer teases that she doesn't want a "shrinking cast" in her show.

"We'll probably be having discussions in June about what we're doing. We don't want a shrinking cast," Messer told TV Guide about Morgan's replacement. "We want to have people in the field. Given that we have to go out and catch unsubs of the week and these serial killers out there, it feels like we can't be an agent down this year. We have to be full-steam ahead. "
