An update regarding the fourth season of *FBI: International* has delighted fans by confirming the return of a beloved character, even amidst the departure of the team’s leader. In the previous season, Luke Kleintank exited the series, with his character, Scott Forrester, being written out as he joined his mother in Russia. The pair eventually fled to Alaska, preventing Forrester from resuming his leadership role with the Fly Team. While the majority of the team is expected to return for the new season, there was uncertainty about the fate of Forrester’s loyal Giant Schnauzer companion, Tank.
However, TVLine’s Matt Webb Mitovich has now confirmed that Tank will indeed return in the fourth season of *FBI: International*. The popular canine character did not depart alongside Forrester. Mitovich revealed that Tank will reappear in the second episode of the new season, though specifics about his return have not been disclosed. It is evident, nonetheless, that Tank’s role within the team remains intact, despite the absence of his primary handler.
The Implications of Tank’s Return for *FBI: International* Season 4
The Team’s Secret Weapon Stays Onboard
Tank has consistently served as a vital support member of the Fly Team, initially a former FBI cadaver dog nearly retired before being taken in by Forrester. Since then, Tank has become integral, participating in numerous missions and quickly winning over fans. His frequent association with the team leader had led to concerns that he might also be removed from the storyline following Forrester’s exit. Fortunately, this is not the case.
Where To Watch FBI: International
Despite Tank’s continued presence with the Fly Team, the new season will introduce Wes Mitchell, portrayed by Jesse Lee Soffer, as the new Supervisory Special Agent. This change could mean that Tank will adapt to a new owner and leadership style, much like the rest of the team. Nevertheless, given Tank’s established role, his unwavering loyalty will undoubtedly benefit the team as they embark on their missions without Forrester.
Our Perspective on Tank’s Return in *FBI: International* Season 4
His Presence is Indispensable
While Forrester’s absence presents a challenge for the team moving forward, Tank’s return signals that not everything will change dramatically with the onset of season 4. Although *FBI: International* has experienced significant departures, such as Heida Reed as Jamie Kellett at the beginning of season 3, Tank’s continued involvement provides a comforting sense of continuity. Although his specific role in the upcoming episodes remains unknown, his reappearance in season 4, episode 2, marks the eagerly awaited return of a key team member.
*FBI: International* is set to return on Tuesday, October 15, on CBS.
