The Mentalist returns to our TV screens this Sunday with the first episode of the second series airing on RTÉ One at 9.30pm.

In the second season premiere, Jane and Lisbon learn that the Red John case has been reassigned to a new CBI team.

Patrick Jane (series star Simon Baker), an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. Notorious for his lack of protocol and past as a sham psychic, Jane's got a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes with his razor sharp skills of observation. With a little more edge and a lot more office dynamics, the California Bureau of Investigation's supersleuth solves case after case like a cat among the procedural pigeons! Highlighting new faces and a series of roadblocks, both personal and professional, season two of The Mentalist delves not only into the shadows of Patrick Jane's well-concealed past, but also the personal histories and dynamics of the other CBI team members -- including Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) and agents Kimball Cho (Tim Kang), Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) and rookie member Grave Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti).

In the second season premiere, Jane and Lisbon learn that the Red John case has been reassigned to a new CBI team led by the straight-shooting officer Sam Bosco (recurring star Terry Kinney).
