FBI is returning for season 9 — but is everyone from the cast coming back?
Created by Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, FBI, which premiered in 2018, follows the agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York City. The personnel have endured their fair share of ups and downs — with Maggie (Missy Peregrym) going through a tragedy when serial slasher Ray DiStefano (Matthew Rauch) kidnapped and killed her sister, Erin (Adrienne Rose Bengtsson).
“I think it’s really important what we’re doing, because we’re highlighting how to move forward. Everybody experiences loss. Everybody goes through the depths of emotions in life,” she explained to Deadline in March. “You have an opportunity to show connection, relationship, intimacy and growth. And this is exactly why I do what I do. I hope this makes people feel seen and that they want to keep going after such a horrific experience, and that they don’t give up.”
Peregrym was hopeful about the plans for the show.
“To go so far. I was like, ‘What are we doing after this?’ You know, I’ve been playing the same character for eight years, and we’re going so far,” she noted. “What’s the plan? How are we going to move through the next steps of getting back on your feet and being able to be in the world again? We’re not a drama where we sit around in our underwear and chat on the couch. We’ve got to get back to work.”
She concluded, “So at what point are we going to address the reality of this scenario, and we are, we are doing it in the best way that we can with our show, like the way we do it on a procedural. But you know, as much as it scared me, I was terrified to go into that space at the end. I’m finding it really interesting to play my character now and finding these beats of when I can insert this stuff and when to work. And it’s just a challenge. It just feels like we’re doing a new show again. Do you know what I mean? And maybe that’s a gift.”
Keep scrolling to see who else is and isn’t returning to FBI for season 9:
Missy Peregrym
Peregrym recently denied plans to leave the show after Maggie mourned the loss of her sister.
“I’ll be honest. I’m on a procedural show, and I wonder what impact this is possibly making? And sometimes I get freaked out because I think we’re just highlighting some of the horrors of humanity every week,” Peregrym told Deadline in March. “And what is this? What are we doing this for? What am I investing a lot of my life in to do this for?”
Zeeko Zaki
Zaki’s OA isn’t going anywhere — but his story line will look a little different in season 9 after going undercover.
Jeremy Sisto
Jubal a.k.a Sisto’s fan-favorite character is once again front and center when the show returns.
Alana de la Garza
De la Garza is expected to come back as Isobel after originally joining the show as a guest star in season 1.
John Boyd
It is very likely that if Boyd’s Scola left FBI then the fans would riot — so there isn’t any concern that he won’t return.
Juliana Aiden Martinez
After joining the show in season 8, Martinez expressed her hope that she would remain on the show as Eva Ramos.
“Before I came into the show, I sat down with showrunner Mike Weiss and told me who he was thinking Eva was going to be. That was really the deciding factor for me to be like, ‘Yes, this is something that’s very interesting to me. This is something that I think I can offer and give value to and make it exciting and different,’” she exclusively told Us Weekly. “When you join a new show, you get the opportunity to do something different. It was definitely like, ‘OK, how can you show different sides of a profession? How can you show how different women approach something differently?’”
Shantel VanSanten
VanSanten is officially back as Nina later in the season.
