The seventh and final season of "The Mentalist" will be action-packed and will be filled with thrilling chases, according to the show's creator.

Bruno Heller described what will happen to the next season of the TV series without revealing too many details. "Up until now if you're comparing it to Moby Dick, which is one of the analogies I used to describe the length of the chase, next season the whale has been sighted and they're in the small boats and chasing the whale," Heller told Entertainment Weekly report.

It is obvious that Heller is referring to the long chase for Patrick Jane. The show's creator promised that the next season will be faster paced, more thrilling, more action, more surprises. He also said that there will be mysteries every week.

Meanwhile, although US TV network CBS confirmed the renewal of the upcoming season of "The Mentalist," the series may lose its timeslot on Sunday's primetime. Moreover, the series will have fewer episodes compared to previous seasons. According to Carter Matt, "The Mentalist" will have 13 episodes next season to tie up the loose ends and bring the whole series to conclusion.

It seemed that the show is not in CBS' priority list as the show is suffering in poor ratings. However, the new plot twists as well as the new turn in Patrick Jane and Theresa Lisbon relationship may bring the ratings up of the show's final season.

CBS has not announced the official premiere date yet of "The Mentalist" season 7, but the writers of the TV series are already back at work. Writer / producer Jordan Harper recently confirmed via Twitter that the writers are planning the next season.

Aside from thrilling chases and more action, waiting fans are also curious about the relationship status of Jane and Lisbon. How will the two react towards each other's feelings?
