WithSeason 3 ofFBI: Internationalkicking off tonight, we’ll finally know how the Fly Team will deal with the aftermath of surviving a bombing at their headquarters. That’s why they all look bruised and unkempt in the exclusive clip that CBS shared with Collider. We can now show this sneak peek to you, and it reveals the state of the bureau post-attack as well asintroduces the new intel analyst, Special Agent Amanda Tate (played by new series regularChristina Wolfe).
Amanda is tested from her very first few moments on screen, with Scott (Luke Kleintank) asking a series of questions to see if she’sup to speed with the Fly Team’s situation and cases. You can see through her expression that this is not the first time she’s had to deal with men subtly – or not so subtly –challenging her skillsand ability to think on her feet. But she stands her ground, and we hope that Scott learns a thing or two from her throughout the season.
Additionally, it’s not a surprise that the Fly Teamis in revenge mode. The main objective of the team in the series premiere episode is locating two criminals who are on the run and are connected to the bombing. However, the girl is more likely to cooperate, which means they need to hatch a plan of action before the other criminal finds her. To do that, however, they’ll have tointerrogate some witnesses– including a six-year-old.
The ‘FBI’ Universe Keeps Expanding
FBI Internationalhas proven itself a successful spin-off from flagship seriesFBIand yet another example of howmega-producerDick Wolfhas a keen eye for hit shows. We already knew that CBS was happy with the spin-off because the networkrenewed the show for two seasonsshortly after it premiered. However, the renewal didn’t factor in a double strike along the way, which means we’ll have to wait and see how audiences respond to a nine-month hiatus.
Chances are thatFBI: Internationaldoes well, though, becauseprocedural shows tend to have a good performanceon network television and also cultivate loyal fanbases. Additionally, there’s a portion of the public that followsFBI: Internationalalong withFBIandFBI: Most Wanted, and they also help keep theFBIuniverse alive.
