The 35-year-old Baccarin will reprise her role as the seductive Erika Flynn in episode three of the upcoming season.

Entertainment Weekly gives the setup for the upcoming season of The Mentalist and Morena Baccarin’s role:

“Jane teams up with Erika Flynn [Morena Baccarin] in Beirut, Lebanon, where he and Lisbon have gone at the request of the CIA to take down an international weapons dealer,”

It continues of Morena Baccarin’s character, “Erika has agreed to help Jane and the CIA in exchange for a pardon on the murder charges she’s still facing and the chance to return to the U.S. But as always Erika has agendas of her own, one of which may, or may not, be inserting herself between Jane and Lisbon.”

That sounds pretty exciting! For fans of The Mentalist, this season ought to be one of the best so far with the addition of Morena Baccarin.

She seems to add some class and edge to any show she joins. Morena Baccarin has also starred in Homeland, Heartland, and The Good Wife. However, many remember her as the classy companion on Firefly.

But The Mentalist is not all that Morena Baccarin has going on these days. She reportedly just landed a voice role on the new animated horror thriller Malevolent, which will also star Ray Wise and Bill Moseley.

Good luck to Morena Baccarin as she continues down her impressive career path! She is sure to continue to be a hit as Erika Flynn.
