Patrick Jane is known to use ultra-amazing observation skills that he picked up to solve serious crimes, giving him an outstanding track record of crime investigation. Patrick Jane is in his quest of Red John, the serial assassin who killed his wife and daughter.

Showrunner Bruno Heller told Hollywood Reporter, "The purpose of an encore is to get people leaving the theater happy and giving them what they want and hitting your marks as string as possible, so that will be the intention."

The Mentalist cast includes 2010 Golden Globe Award Nominee Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, 2001 Blockbuster Entertainment Award Nominee and 2006 Boston Film Festival Prize Winner Robin Tunney as Teresa Lisbon, Tim Kang as Kimball Cho, 2014 Black Reel Award Nominee Rockmond Dunbar as Dennis Abbott, and Emily Swallow as Kim Fischer.
