“FBI: International” is a spin-off of “FBI: Special Investigations,” a crime investigation drama starring an FBI agent created by hitmaker Dick Wolf (“Law & Order”, “Chicago Fire”). It has been revealed that the original cast of the show will be leaving the show in season 3, which is currently airing. US Deadline reports.
The core of the team is leaving in quick succession.
Luke Kleintank, who has played team leader Scott Forrester since the beginning of the series, will be leaving Season 3 of FBI: International, which has been airing on CBS since mid-February. The 13-episode season 3 is scheduled to reach its finale on May 21st, but Luke, who plays Forrester, will make his last appearance before that on May 7th.
“FBI: International”, which began in 2021, depicts the activities of the FBI’s international investigation division “Fly Team” based in Budapest, Hungary. They fly to various parts of Europe to investigate crimes in which Americans are involved or involved, and work together with investigative agencies in each country to solve the cases, overcoming the barriers of different cultures and languages, as well as diplomatic and political difficulties. .
In Season 3, Heida Reid, who played Jamie Kellett, who was the number two on the team after Scott, already left the show after the first episode. As a result, two core characters from the team will be gone during the season.
Luke commented on his departure as follows: “After much consideration, I have made the difficult decision to leave FBI: International. This decision is for the love and health of my family, which is most important to me. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the wonderful cast and crew. They are not only co-workers, they are family. Their extraordinary talents made every moment on set memorable. will enrich my future life. Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the fans who have supported us over the past three seasons.”
In addition, a new investigator, Amanda Tate (played by Christina Wolfe of “Batwoman”), has joined the cast, almost replacing Haida, who plays Kellett. It was also reported that Terry Polo (The Fosters) would appear in an unknown role towards the end of the series. Earlier this month, the series was renewed along with two other works (“FBI: Special Investigations Unit” and “FBI: Most Wanted”), and it has been decided that a fourth season will be produced. I’m curious about the future of “FBI: International.”
“FBI: International” Season 1 is currently available on Hulu. (Foreign Drama NAVI)
