In a significant shift for the ‘FBI’ franchise, Luke Kleintank is departing from ‘FBI: International’ in Season 3. Kleintank, who has played the lead role of Fly Team leader Scott Forrester since the show’s inception, will bid farewell in an episode airing on May 7th. His departure follows just two episodes before the Season 3 finale, leaving fans to speculate about the future of the team.
Kleintank’s decision to depart stems from his unwavering commitment to family, emphasizing their paramount importance in his life. In a statement, he expressed his gratitude to the cast, crew, and fans who have supported the show through its first three seasons.
The show’s renewal for a fourth season, announced earlier this year, adds an intriguing layer to Kleintank’s exit. With two episodes remaining in the current season, the writers have the opportunity to craft a compelling departure for Scott Forrester.
Season 3 of ‘FBI: International’ has already witnessed the departure of Heida Reed, who played Jamie Kellett since the show’s premiere. Her character’s decision to transfer to the Washington field office left a void within the team. Now, with Kleintank’s exit, the future dynamics of the Fly Team remain uncertain.
Fans have speculated about a potential onscreen reunion between Scott and Jamie, given their initial romantic relationship. However, Kleintank’s departure may hint at a different trajectory for these characters, leaving the possibility of an off-screen reconciliation.
As the show gears up for its final two episodes of Season 3, viewers eagerly await the fate of Scott Forrester and the implications of Kleintank’s exit for the future of ‘FBI: International’.
