The current season of the CBS criminal flick will wrap up in less than a month and the future of Matthew Gray Gubler is not yet sure. He was rumored to leave the show after "Criminal Minds" season 12 but the actor has not confirmed nor denied anything yet. Talks have it that Reid might be killed off or eliminated in another way to allow Gubler's exit. Spencer Reid has become the main focus of the show after Thomas Gibson was fired last year.
The ratings of the crime series remain lower than the previous seasons as a lot of fans of "Criminal Minds" swore a boycott since Thomas Gibson's flee. Many are still requesting for the return of the actor but with his latest battle with his former "Criminal Minds" handler might hinder his comeback. The show tries to maintain seven million viewers tuned into the show but it is relatively lower with Gibson's lead at 8 to 11 million audiences.
"Criminal Minds" season 12, episode 20 titled "Unforgettable" will air on April 26 on CBS.
