The FBI motion of the spring 2025 TV schedule ends with the Season 7 finale on Could 20, which stars Jeremy Sisto and Alana De La Garza described as “horrifying.” CBS gave the drama a really early renewal, nonetheless, so this collection is not ending like FBI: Worldwide and FBI: Most Needed are. I am already reflecting on a few of Season 7’s greatest twists, and once I spoke with the 2 actors, I needed to get De La Garza’s ideas on Isobel’s resolution to not retire. Little did I do know, Sisto would have a enjoyable tackle it as effectively!
In the identical episode that launched The Flash alum Tom Cavanagh as Isobel’s husband, the Particular Agent in Cost found that she’d reached the 20-year milestone of her profession on the Bureau, which means she had the choice of retiring with full advantages. (Yow will discover the episode streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription.) She in the end determined to remain on because the SAC of 26 Fed… however that was effectively earlier than a preview for the Season 7 finale revealed Isobel wanting worse for the wear and tear with a head wound.
So, forward of the Season 7 finale, does any a part of Isobel remorse the choice to remain on the damaging job relatively than retire to a secure residence life together with her new husband? I requested Alana De La Garza, and he or she shared:
I do not suppose she has regrets about not stepping away. Isobel, to me, is on the core of her soul a justice junkie. I do not know that she’ll ever really surrender as a result of she fights for justice. Whether or not it’s a onerous resolution or a simple resolution or a choice that no person else agrees with, she follows that at her root. So I really feel like no, I do not suppose she regrets it. I believe she’s positively on a experience, as folks will see. [laughs]
Nicely, I for one nominate “justice junkie” as a time period to check with all crime-fighting characters all through the intensive Wolf Leisure TV universe! The Season 7 finale, referred to as “A New Day,” seems to be like one that can take all of the investigative abilities that Isobel, Jubal, and the remainder of their workforce possess… assuming your entire workforce may be trusted, anyway, with enemy operatives seemingly infiltrating the FBI.
Suffice it to say, FBI appears poised to finish the seventh season with a reasonably intense episode. In distinction, Jeremy Sisto, who after all performs ASAC Jubal Valentine, added some humor to Alana De La Garza opening up about whether or not Isobel has any regrets by brainstorming some retirement choices. I could not love their change extra, as they bantered backwards and forwards.
- Jeremy Sisto: “What would she do if she give up?”
- Alana De La Garza: “She would wither up and die. That is what she would do.”
- Jeremy Sisto: “She joins some golf equipment.”
- Alana De La Garza: “Tennis membership. We’ll choose a ball, perhaps.”
- Jeremy Sisto: “You will work for the CIA, bounce over to the CIA [set].”
Sisto was referring to the upcoming spinoff of FBI, referred to as CIA and starring Lucifer alum Tom Ellis. The 2 reveals will likely be paired on Monday nights in CBS’ 2025-2026 fall TV lineup, and whereas I believe followers have in all probability been crossing their fingers for characters from the cancelled Most Needed and/or Worldwide to look on CIA, Sisto was fast to jokingly pitch Isobel as a candidate. Retire from the FBI, solely to hitch the CIA!
On a barely extra critical word, Sisto – who got here to FBI with expertise as a TV detective thanks to a few seasons of Legislation & Order – mirrored on the struggles of some regulation enforcement officers and retirement:
For detectives generally, once they give up, they’re kinda unhappy ceaselessly.
Will Isobel come to remorse her resolution within the Season 7 finale or into Season 8? We’ll have to attend and see on that entrance, though CBS’ earlier renewal ensures a future for FBI by Season 9. For now, try the promo for “A New Day” and preserve your eyes peeled for the top wound that had me a bit of involved for the SAC as quickly as I noticed it:
Watch On

It’s also possible to revisit earlier episodes of the hit drama streaming on Paramount+ over summer time hiatus. It is a lot too early to hope for CBS to announce a particular premiere date for Season 8, however we do at the least know that FBI will likely be again with new episodes within the fall.
