The Mentalist Season 6: Behind-the-Scenes Look of New Episode Being Filmed, Jane to Deal With Austin Bombing

The Mentalist is currently on a long broadcast hiatus with four episodes filmed and ready.

The makers are hard at work getting episode 17 together which will reportedly have the newly formed FBI team dealing with the Austin bomb squad.

Penned by Tom Szentgyorgyi (My Blue Heaven) and Rebecca Cutter (Red Listed), the James Hayman (Golden Hammer) directed episode will place the Dennis Abbott's (Rockmond Dunbar) FBI team in what appears to be downtown Austin, according to behind-the-scenes photos from SCV TV, reports Enstars.

According to the on-set pictures, it seems that Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) amidst shattered glass, cracked benches and a broken sign will be busy trying to deal with an explosion at the Austin Metro's Warwick St. bus stop (shot in Valencia, California).
