A new update on FBI: International season 4 has confirmed a fan-favorite character will be coming back in new episodes, despite the team leader’s departure. In season 3, Luke Kleintank left FBI: International, with his character, Scott Forrester, written off as being with his mother in Russia, the pair later fleeing to Alaska, her fugitive status making it impossible for the Fly Team’s leader to return. While the rest of the remaining team members are expected to come back in season 4, it wasn’t clear if Forrester’s trusted Giant Schnauzer sidekick, Tank, would also leave with his friend.
Now, TVLine reporter Matt Webb Mitovich has confirmed Tank will be coming back in FBI: International season 4, the fan-favorite character having not departed alongside Forrester. Mitovich confirmed Tank will make his return in season 4, episode 2, though no details have been revealed about how the Giant Schnauzer will come back. However, it’s clear his place on the team hasn’t changed, even if his de facto owner is no longer part of the group.
What Tank’s Return Means For FBI: International Season 4
The Team’s Secret Weapon Remains In Play
Tank has always played a supporting role on the Fly Team, a former FBI cadaver dog that was almost slated for retirement before Forrester took him in. Since then, he’s been a major part of the team, brought along for a multitude of missions and quickly becoming a favorite among audience members. However, he was often seen with the team leader, leading to concern that he too would be written out of the show once his owner was out of the picture. Luckily, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Even though Tank will continue to be part of the Fly Team, FBI: International season 4 will be introducing Wes Mitchell (Jesse Lee Soffer) as the team’s new Supervisory Special Agent. This could mean the Giant Schnauzer will fall under new ownership, potentially needing time to get used to new leadership just like everyone else on the Fly Team. However, given how classic a team member he’s become, the trusted sidekick will likely bring plenty of loyalty to the table as the team continues their missions without Forrester.
Our Take On Tank’s Return In FBI: International Season 4
It Wouldn’t Feel The Same Without Him
Although Forrester being gone will be difficult for the team moving forward, Tank coming back is a good sign that not everything will feel different once season 4 begins. Even though FBI: International has been through plenty of losses, such as Heida Reed departing as Jamie Kellett at the start of season 3, Tank still being around means the show still has some familiarity remaining. While it’s unclear what he’ll do in the forthcoming episodes, his arrival in season 4, episode 2 is a much-anticipated return of an important team member.
