“A Leader, Not a Tourist” – The Fly Team is introduced to Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell (new series regular Jesse Lee Soffer) when his partner is shot in Los Angeles and the suspects flee to Budapest, sending Mitchell overseas, on the fourth season premiere of FBI: INTERNATIONAL, Tuesday, Oct. 15 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).

When FBI: INTERNATIONAL returns on Tuesday, October 15 for its fourth season premiere, the CBS drama will have a new lead: Jesse Lee Soffer.
For Soffer, this marks his on-camera return to television after exiting NBC’s CHICAGO P.D. in 2022. (The actor portrayed Jay Halstead in nearly 240 episodes between his series regular role on CHICAGO P.D. and guest spots on CHICAGO FIRE, CHICAGO MED, and LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT.) And while the FBI franchise is technically a different world, Wolf Entertainment producing it (along with ONE CHICAGO and the LAW & ORDER shows) makes this a homecoming, of sorts.
