EXCLUSIVE: Recent _The Mentalist_ cast addition Joe Adler has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming seventh season of the veteran crime drama. Adler plays Jason Wylie, the
lighthearted and brilliant FBI computer expert with a deep interest in Jane’s (Simon Baker) mind games. Adler’s promotion is not a surprise as has appeared on a recurring basis in every
episode of the show since its reboot halfway through Season 5 when the Red John storyline was wrapped up and the show’s setting was moved from California to Texas. When it renewed
_Mentalist_ last month, CBS did not specify the size of the order but I’d heard that it is for a 13-episode seventh and likely final season, something the network also would not confirm.
_The Mentalist_ is not on CBS’ fall schedule and is slated to return in midseason if not sooner. Adler, repped by Paradigm and Authentic, did an arc on _Shameless_ and will next be seen in
_The Maze Runner._ RELATED:_ _CBS 2014 Schedule WATCH ON DEADLINE 9 Comments JavaScript is required to load the comments. MARKETPLACE SITE ad
