MacGyver has some new company. Deadline reports Levy Tran has joined the CBS TV show’s third season.
A reboot of the ’80s action drama, the series centers on Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till), a 20-something adventurer who uses his vast scientific knowledge and extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving to save the world. The cast also includes Tristin Mays, Justin Hires, and Meredith Eaton.
On MacGyver, Tran will be playing “Desiree Nguyen (Desi), who joins the Phoenix Foundation to protect MacGyver (Lucas Till) and his team on their global missions.”
Tran is joining the CBS series just afters fans said farewell to regular cast member George Eads, who plays Jack Dalton. But is that really the last we’ll see from Eads?
According to co-star Justin Hires (via TVInsider), Eads could return:
I mean, George is leaving… I look at it as a break. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back.”
What do you think? Do you watch MacGyver? Will you keep watching without Eads?
I love that show. I will still watch without Eads, but I wish he would come back.
Yes, I will still watch Macgyver without Eads. I love the program.
Yes I’ll watch with Eads
I’ll watch. Took awhile to grow on me but I love it. I’m a huge fan of George Eads & my heart aches right now. I just hope his next project is a good as CSI and this, and I hope it’s soon!

I will continue to watch Macgyver, I do enjoy Jack being a part of the team and i will miss him. I am also hoping that he will be back soon, even if it is for guest appearances.
Yes but will miss him. Hopefully he will make some guest appearances
I will continue to watch the show, however, I miss George Eads, and the character of Jack Dalton. I am very happy that Jack was alive and well at the end of the episode, and I hope he will return in the future.
I am on the fence. Love George and the cast as a whole, it won’t be the same without him. I don’t think there’s any way the big brother, watching your back, really care about you can be recreated with another character.
Eads don’t leave. Please come back.
Yes i will miss George but i’m looking forward to the new addition. Change is good sometimes
So glad Jack is gone! He was so irritating, not funny, good riddance and don’t come back. Good luck to the actor I hope he finds a better role somewhere else. Yay MacGyver is going to be so much better.
Love the show. Will definitely continue to watch.
Yes Levy Tran was great on the haunting of hill house and shameless
I won’t watch without Eads
No my family will not watch the show without George ( jack) he’s a very good player with a great sense of humor, I think that I will encourage people to watch other shows, not one that’s changing up the player’s..
