In the first poster for season 8, Beckett (Stana Katic) may be keeping her eyes on her hubby Rick (Nathan Fillion) — but fans have nothing to worry about with the new introduction of security specialist Hayley Shipton (Toks Olagundoye).

“For us, her character was never meant to be competition,” co-showrunner Alexi Hawley recently told EW. “She’s a strong, powerful, beautiful, independent woman and she adds a flavor of that into the show, but is not — in any way shape or form — competition for Beckett.” However, “She has a very different perspective on how she attacks cases different from Beckett, which is going to create some fun tension,” adds fellow co-showrunner Terence Paul Winter.
