There is a new addition to the 'Criminal Minds' Season 10 cast: famous actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Making her comeback in television, Hewitt will play a criminal psychologist with a dark background.

Erica Messer, executive producer of the long-running CBS crime drama, released details about Hewitt's character in a statement.

"Kate is smart, charming, and wise for her years," described Messer, as reported by TV Guide.

Messer added, "Her background is criminal psychology, and her passion comes from wanting to make the world a safe place. She's had a lot of personal loss that makes her a patriot and a nurturing figure to those in her personal and work families."

Hewitt's character, Kate Callahan, will be the newest addition to the BAU team, the special task force that investigates a series of unexplained murders with unidentified victims.

Callahan is expected to provide psychological insight on the thought process of the murderers and their motive to perform such gruesome crimes.

Hewitt's character is expected to offer valuable insight and helpful information that will help the BAU squad to hunt and catch down those responsible for the string of murders in California.

Season 10 of CBS' Criminal Minds will hit the small screen on October 1.
