A member of the FBI cast is making a move. Per Deadline, Shantel VanSanten is shifting over to FBI: Most Wanted during its fifth season. VanSanten first appeared on CBS’ FBI series during the end of season four and continued on the series through season five.
The FBI: Most Wanted cast features Dylan McDermott, Roxy Sternberg, Keisha Castle-Hughes, and Edwin Hodge. VanSanten will reprise her role as Special Agent Nina Chase. Her character is a “well-seasoned FBI agent who is strong-willed, sharp, and used to working undercover.” Chase is also in a relationship with FBI’s Stuart Scola (John Boyd) as they raise their infant son.
FBI (season six) and FBI: Most Wanted will return with shortened seasons to CBS on February 13, 2024.
What do you think? Are you surprised by VanSanten’s move? Are you excited for the return of FBI and FBI: Most Wanted on CBS?
Not the same since Jess moved on
This is great news!! I loved Shantel when she was on FBI and so glad to see her stay part of the FBI family.
This is a great decision to keep the crossover eps going and not bogging FBI in Stuart and Nina stories. I love this couple, totally ship them, but part of the appeal of FBI is the diversity of plot B’s and locking Scola into only him and Chase stories would get a little boring.
And besides, Nina joining the MW cast covers the blessed relief of Davalos’ exit and puts someone who can actually act in the role.
So true about Davalos!
I think she will be great but should have left on FBI
