Over the course of four seasons, we’ve come to know some excellent characters in the FBI: International universe. Some of them need more development now that the series has come to an end, and the best way to do that is through spinoff stories.
This list isn’t just about the main characters we were left with at the end of FBI: International season 4, although some of them will come up. There are characters of the past who need to get more time, as we learn more about their activities after they left the team.
Scott Forrester
Luke Kleintank decided to leave FBI: International after three seasons, and his exit storyline was set up in the last two episodes of the third season. We learned that he went dark, and it was up to the Fly Team to figure out where he was. However, they had to work off the grid as they learned that this connected back to Scott’s mom.
It turned out that Scott had managed to get to his mom and set off on a journey on the run. I’d love for an FBI spinoff to pick up with this storyline. How are they living, and what is life like for them on the run? There has to be threats to their safety, and surely Scott thinks about those he left behind for this chance at a relationship with the woman he once believed was a traitor.
Megan “Smitty” Garretson
As the Europol agent for the Fly Team, Smitty’s FBI spinoff could give us a look into the world of this agency. It works differently to those that we’ve seen before, as it focuses on developing the relationships between the FBI and local authorities. It also tackles its own crime issues, so there’s a lot of ground to cover with a Smitty spinoff.
This would also allow the series to continue Smitty’s character development. We got a bit on her personal life throughout FBI: International seasons 3 and 4, with her learning that her biological father isn’t the man who raised her, and that she’s interested in women. These storylines deserved more time to breathe, so a spinoff is the way forward.
Cameron Vo
The end of FBI: International left us with a major question about Vo’s future. Would she be the one to get the promotion, taking her Stateside? This is something that an FBI: International spinoff could explore, allowing us to learn what happened during that future-making call.
If she did end up getting the promotion, the spinoff is a chance for us to see how she performs as a leader. If she didn’t, then we could see her deciding that she’s ready for a change in her career, opting to leave the Fly Team for another adventure.
Katrin Jaeger
During the first season of the series, Katrin Jaeger was the Europol liaison, but she left the team for a promotion at the end of the season. She did come back into the story for a couple of guest spots, giving us a chance to see her happy in her new role. It would be great to get a look at what that role really entails, though.
An FBI spinoff focusing on Europol offers a look at a different agency. As mentioned with the idea for Smitty, it would open the door for a different type of relationship with local authorities, and different types of crime. We could even have a spinoff led by both Jaeger and Smitty, offering a first for the franchise.
Amanda Tate
Finally, it’s all about Amanda Tate, the loyal tech genius working with the Fly Team. After her entrance at the start of FBI: International season 3, we barely got to know her, and a spinoff is a great way to advance that character. Of course, that should mean seeing more of the Fly Team, so how could a spinoff work?
Well, she could decide to leave the Fly Team, setting this in the slightly near-future, as she works with a different branch of the FBI. Another option is that it’s a prequel series to set up how she joined the FBI and her life with her daughter. Or, she could end up working an undercover op, leading to a one-season spinoff just to offer her character the development she deserves.
FBI: International is available to stream on Paramount+.
