FBI is on the way in which again to CBS for Season 8 within the fall of the 2025 TV schedule because the final present within the franchise standing after FBI: Worldwide and FBI: Most Wished had been cancelled. With Tom Ellis’ CIA delayed to midseason, the community merely will not have crime-fighting motion paired with FBI as was the case for years. In fact, Season 7 ended on a high-stakes cliffhanger with none aside from Isobel (Alana De La Garza) collapsing, elevating the query of whether or not she’d be again in Season 8.
Because it seems, a forged shakeup is going on it doesn’t matter what Isobel’s destiny can be this fall, and the information is not what I anticipated after assuming I might must be crossing my fingers about Alana De La Garza.
Emily Alabi Is Out
Scola’s (John Boyd) technique of getting a brand new associate to exchange Tiff (Katherine Renee Kane) lasted for many of Season 7, with the presumptive new member of the group getting reduce as a sequence common earlier than she even debuted. FBI lastly appeared to seek out the precise match with the debut of Magnum P.I.‘s Emily Alabi as Agent Dani Rhodes. I preferred her proper off the bat, and he or she did not hesitate to go rogue with Scola, Maggie (Missy Peregrym), OA (Zeeko Zaki), Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) and Co. within the spring finale.
In line with Deadline over summer season hiatus forward of Season 8, nonetheless, Alabi will not be promoted to sequence common as I anticipated for the subsequent batch of episodes. As an alternative, her return within the fall can be to shut out Dani’s story, which sounds an terrible lot like how FBI introduced Katherine Renee Kane again for the Season 7 premiere for a swan tune. No particulars can be found on the time of writing about Alabi’s presumed exit, and the actress has not but reacted to the information.
And whereas I am bummed to be shedding Dani when she appeared like a strong match for Scola as a associate, I can not be mad about who FBI discovered as the subsequent agent getting into the forged. A Regulation & Order: SVU vet from elsewhere in Dick Wolf’s expansive TV universe is approaching board. If we needed to lose Emily Alabi, this actress may very well be a strong match.
Regulation & Order: SVU’s Juliana Aidén Martinez Is In
Regulation & Order: SVU added Juliana Aidén Martinez as a brand new sequence common for Season 26 final 12 months, however her tenure as Detective Silva did not final lengthy. Her exit was introduced (alongside fellow sequence common Octavio Pisano as Detective Velasco) forward of the finale again in Could, with Season 26 ending with out establishing an exit for Silva. Season 27 will choose up with out the 2 detectives this fall.
Martinez is staying within the Dick Wolf TV universe, however followers should not depend on seeing her as Silva once more. In line with TVLine, the actress can be enjoying a brand new character on FBI despite the fact that the hit CBS drama and SVU technically share a TV universe. She will not be the primary star to vary roles throughout the identical small display screen world; each Jeremy Sisto and Alana De La Garza had been Regulation & Order stars earlier than taking over new characters on FBI, and Jesse Lee Soffer did the identical when he jumped from Chicago P.D. to FBI: Worldwide.
So, a forged shakeup is confirmed for Season 8 of FBI, even when the longer term continues to be unsure for Alana De La Garza as Isobel Castille. I’ll be optimistic that Isobel simply wanted some relaxation and restoration over a summer season hiatus time leap to be prepared for motion in Season 8 within the fall, however solely time will inform. For now, you possibly can all the time revisit the seven seasons to this point streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
