‘FBI’s Missy Peregrym on Maggie’s Fate: ‘I Am Coming Back’ (VIDEO)
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI Season 4, Episode 18 “Fear Nothing.”]
FBI fans said goodbye to a major character in the latest episode, but the good news is Missy Peregrym will be back as Special Agent Maggie Bell. The actress also addressed her absence from the rest of Season 4 in a video the show posted to its official Twitter account.
“Hi, you guys, I just wanted to say that today is my last day of Season 4, so don’t be afraid when you see this last episode,” an emotional Peregrym says. “I promise you I am coming back next season. I’m having a baby, and I’m really grateful to be a part of the show and have a family, so I will see you next season. Thank you for watching our show.” (FBI has yet to be officially renewed for Season 5 by CBS.) Watch it below.

In “Fear Nothing,” Maggie was exposed to sarin gas during a case, and her partner, Omar Adom “OA” Zidan (Zeeko Zaki), was the one who had to find a way to break the glass of the sealed lab and carry her outside, where he could then administer the antidote, before it was too late. He did, and the episode ended with proof that she would recover as he stood by her hospital bedside.
“We wanted to make her departure feel like a finale, make it a big event,” showrunner Rick Eid explained to TV Insider. “One of the writers, Joe Halpin, had this great idea, ‘What if sarin gas, an illegal chemical weapon, somehow resurfaced?’ and just after talking about it, we thought it married well with an OA-Maggie story: It was about OA’s biggest fear and Maggie finds herself in harm’s way and OA’s gotta overcome his biggest fear to save his partner. We just started talking about it and thought it would be a good way to send her off.”
He confirmed that we will hear about her recovery, from OA. “We’ll find out she’s doing fine and she’s expected to recover and she’s expected to return,” he said.

What's interesting is the show hasn't been offcially renewed. My gut tells me they haven't decided on FBI: International. My gut tells me that all three will be renewed and announced at the same time. But my guess is the holdup is they're still deciding on FBI: International.

All three FBI shows are incredible. I was concerned as to whether FBI Most Wanted would survive after the main character was killed on the show; however, Dylan McDermott has brought talent, creativity, and experience to the show and his transition into the role was flawless. Also, I am glad to see the character, Maggie Bell, will return next season, her character as a strong, but caring agent is a necessary blend, which speaks to the success of this series. I, personally, think whoever cast the characters on this show was “spot on” with the choices. And FBI: International is a great addition to the FBI group. I was on board from the first episode.

A lot of top CBS shows have not been "officially" renewed but all 3 FBI shows get good live ratings on Tuesdays... Same with what will happen with Fridays with Magnum and Blue Bloods...

I am glad Maggie will return. She and OA make a terrific team.
I love all three FBI programs, including International with Scott, Jamie, Jaeger, and the rest. I did not even know there was a European division of the FBI. That is cool.
Though I was sorry to see Jess go from the Most Wanted series, Remy is a nice new edition.

I love all three FBI shows. On FBI Most Wanted, Dylan McDermott is great! He has charisma and poise and funny!

The problem with FBI International is that the lady who plays the romantic interest of what's his face, they have no chemistry whatsoever. They broke up but now they are getting flirty again, and it just doesn't work. She is a bore in every sense of the word.
