The second FBI spinoff, FBI: International, has continued to expand the global reach of the exciting procedural throughout its three seasons thus far, and the show has been renewed for season 4. Premiering in 2021, the series follows elite agents of the FBI’s Fly Team, a group tasked with protecting American citizens abroad from various threats. Spawned from the creative mind of TV maven Dick Wolf, the series turns the procedural genre on its ear with an exciting new location and new stipulations not found in any other “cop show”.
As a franchise, FBI began with the debut of the eponymous series in 2018, and has rapidly expanded in the years since with two spinoffs. Though FBI: Most Wanted is a more traditional continuation of the original, International is already blazing its own trail with a variety of cases not found in the other shows in the Dick Wolf universe. Like the rest of the FBI universe, FBI: International has been a ratings hit for CBS, and its renewal for season 4 wasn’t all that surprising.

FBI: International Season 4 Cast
Some Major Shakeups Are Happening In The Cast
Though they are somewhat rare, procedurals like FBI: International do see some changes in their casts over the years, and season 3 had some major shakeups behind the scenes. Heida Reed’s Special Agent Jamie Kellett left the team to return to the United States, and the series introduced Special Agent Amanda Tate, played by Christina Wolfe, as a replacement.
Reed wasn’t the only actor to depart the show in recent seasons, and following his season 3 exit, FBI: International lost original star Luke Kleintank who will not be reprising his role as SSA Scott Forrester in season 4. Fortunately, a replacement has been found quickly, and Chicago P.D. alum Jesse Lee Soffer play the new role of Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell. The newcomer is described as charming and rakish, and is driven by an unquenchable thirst for justice.
A list of returning cast members includes:
| Actor | FBI: International Role | |
|---|---|---|
| Carter Redwood | Special Agent Andre Raines |
 |
| Vinessa Vidotto | Special Agent Cameron Vo |
 |
| Eva-Jane Willis | Megan “Smitty” Garretson |
 |
| Christina Wolfe | Special Agent Amanda Tate |
 |
| Jesse Lee Soffer | SSA Wesley “Wes” Mitchell |

FBI: International Season 4 Story
What Will The Fly Team Face Next In Season 4?
The conclusion of FBI: International season 3 was a little strange and was clearly written around Luke Kleintank’s early departure from the show. Having discovered that Scott’s mom may be held in a Russian prison, the team deduces they might be able to find out about Scott’s whereabouts if they track her down. After avoiding an international incident, the team discovered that Scott and his mom were now safely on the run, with the chances of Scott’s return to the FBI reduced to slim or none.
This doesn’t leave much for season 4 to work with, and it’s likely that the story will not only maintain the case-of-the-week format, but also introduce a new Supervisory Special Agent to lead the Fly Team. However, until more details about FBI: International season 4 are revealed, anything about the story is pure speculation.
