The filming for the seventh and final season of "The Mentalist" resumed early and signaled the early premiere of the hit TV series.

"Had to be here at 5am. I'm sleepy. HA!" actor Tim Kang (Cho) tweeted alongside a shot of the FBI bullpen. This hinted that the filming of the episodes has begun.

Until now, CBS has not confirmed the premiere date of "The Mentalist" season 7. It was speculated that the series will be back in mid-season. However, the production is currently underway and the cast and crew were put back to work.

The last season of the series is reported to have a shorter 13 episodes compared to the previous seasons. For the plot of the series finale, predictions claimed that the storyline for next season will center on the personal relationship of its main protagonist, Patrick Jane.

"The Mentalist" season 7 spoilers revealed that Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) will move on in their relationship but they will be caught up in a love triangle.

At the end of season 5, Patrick Jane finally admitted his personal feelings to Teresa Lisbon, and it seemed that the series will shower fans with more romance by introducing a new female character who will go in between the budding romance of the two.

Reports claimed that a new FBI agent named Michelle Vega will join as part of the regular cast. According to series creator Bruno Heller, the show's final season will be action-packed.

Reports added that Michelle Vega will clash with Patrick Jane due to their differences in methods. Michelle Vega is claimed to practice according to the books and someone who would do anything to impress her superiors, which will definitely clash with Patrick Jane's unorthodox ways of doing things.
