Heads up FBI: Most Wanted fans, while it’s unclear when the series will return for the fifth season, series regular, Alexa Davalos won’t be returning per a report from Deadline. It is unclear at the moment, why the decision was made so, the news comes as a surprise to both fans as well as much of the cast, possibly including Davalos. However, per the report, the split was amicable.
Davalos joined the fan-favorite series as agent Kristin Gaines, an FBI Special Agent and the former officer of the Office of Naval Intelligence back in the third season of the procedural drama. She joined the team alongside Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon) and after the actor exited the show during Season 3, Dylan McDermott took over the role of force leader as Remy Scott. We last saw Gaines in the finale of Season 4, helping Remy to capture Benji, his brother’s real killer who was trying to escape. With the upcoming fifth season, it remains to be seen how the show will address her departure.
Created by René Balcer, FBI: Most Wanted is the first spin-off from Dick Wolf’s highly popular series FBI. Taking in its predecessor Most Wanted follows the work of the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force, which tracks and captures the dangerous criminals on the agency’s most wanted list. While Davalos had an early departure, series regulars like McDermott as Remy, Roxy Sternberg as Special Agent Sheryll Barnes, Keisha Castle-Hughes as Agent Hana Gibson, and Edwin Hodge as Ray Cannon among others are expected to return.
