"FBI: International" returned for Season 4 in fall's 2024 TV schedule, but not to pick up precisely where last season left off like what happened previously when an explosion rocked the Fly Team HQ. In fact, the premiere was one big fresh start with the arrival of "Chicago P.D." alum Jesse Lee Soffer as SSA Wes Mitchell. A fair amount of the premiere actually wasn't set in Europe at all, but in LA to set up Mitchell's arrival in Budapest. According to Soffer, the goal was to treat the episode "like a pilot," which makes me wonder: how much will Season 4 feel like a reboot?

A bit of a reset was inevitable after the departure of Luke Kleintank as SSA Scott Forrester, especially since he didn't get an on-screen sendoff. Still, I was so struck by how "FBI: International's" Season 4 premiere (which is available streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription) devoted so much time to what happened in LA to motivate Mitchell to join the Fly Team that I had to ask the new star about it.
