FBI: International season 3 episode 1 plot: What to expect from the season premiere?
Dick Wolf's FBI franchise contains some high-octane drama, and FBI: International, following the team of special agents, is set to return after the previous season ended with an explosive cliffhanger.
At the end of season 2, the team had successfully stopped the illegal sale of a Russian nuclear weapon. In the final moments, an unexpected attack takes place on their Budapest office, putting the lives of the team at stake. The fate of many others in the series appears to be in jeopardy, as only Tank the Dog and Andre Raines (Carter Redwood) were outside the office during the blast.
The official synopsis of the first episode of the season, titled June, reads:
"The team, with the help of their new intel analyst, Special Agent Amanda Tate, works to clean up the pieces left behind after a massive explosion rocks headquarters and their key suspect slips away."
Fans can expect the return of special agents Scott Forrester (Luke Kleintank), Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto), and Megan ‘Smitty’ Garretson (Eva-Jane Willis), among others, in the latest season of FBI: International. However, CBS has confirmed that special agent Jamie Kellett (Heida Reed) will be handing in her badge at some point this season.
Stay tuned for the premiere of FBI: International on CBS this Tuesday, February 13, 2024.
