  star Colin Donnell has been cast in the final two episodes of
  FBI: International
  season 3.
• Donnell’s role is currently under wraps, but he will appear in the episodes airing on May 14 and May 21.
• This news comes after it was revealed that Luke Kleintank will leave

  before the end of season 3.

The hit CBS procedural FBI: International is adding a Chicago Med alum to its ranks for the final two episodes of season 3. As the second spinoff show of the FBI franchise, created by Dick Wolf, FBI: International debuted on CBS in September 2021 and focuses on a team of FBI Special Agents who investigate crimes and terrorist acts globally. Filmed in Hungary, the show had a successful first two seasons, and CBS renewed FBI: International season 3 in May 2022. However, it did not premiere until February 13 as a result of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

According to People, big changes are coming to the world of FBI: International in the form of a casting shake-up. Former Chicago Med actor Colin Donnell will be joining the cast for the final two episodes of FBI: International season 3, which will air May 14 and May 21. His role is currently a mystery.

What Role Could Donnell Play & How Might This Impact The Future Of FBI: International?

Colin Donnell Could Be A Replacement For A Departing Actor

There is a chance Donnell could be taking on a leading part in the series. His upcoming debut follows the shock news that leading man Luke Kleintank will be leaving the show. Kleintank, who has portrayed Scott Forrester on FBI: International since season 1, revealed he chose to leave to spend more time with his family, with the international shoots likely taking their toll on him. It would seem logical for Donnell to portray a character who might replace Kleintank’s role as the de facto series lead, but that might not become official until later.

FBI: International has already been renewed for season 4, but what that will look like without Kleintank is uncertain. This is coupled with the fact that the show lost another core cast member in Heida Reed, who also departed FBI: International during season 3. The casting changes represent something of a crossroads for the show and the franchise, and it is unclear how things might progress with fresh faces in front of the camera. However, if Donnell is playing a character with long-term prospects, his arrival in the coming weeks could give an idea of what’s to come.

As one of the top shows in the Dick Wolf universe, FBI: International should continue to fare well despite the changes to cast members and delays to production. The casting of Donnell poses an exciting future for FBI: International, and for the franchise as a whole, particularly since his role on Chicago Med means he’s already well-versed in how things work on Wolf productions. More details about his character should arrive soon.

FBI: International
season 3 airs Tuesdays at 9 pm ET on CBS.
