‘FBI’ Shocker: Katherine Renee Kane Leaving in Season 7
The team on FBI is going through a change in Season 7.
Katherine Renee Kane is leaving in the upcoming seventh season of the CBS drama, according to Deadline. We’ll see how she’s written out since she’s slated to be in at least one episode. Kane joined FBI in Season as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace.
Tiffany has been Scola’s (John Boyd) partner, and that’s where new series regular Lisette Olivera, joining as Syd, will come in. Syd is a Behavioral Analysis Unit agent who’s now moving into field work and will become Scola’s new partner. Her experience is at a desk, but, according to the character’s description, “there are layers to her personality and resume that will allow her to hit the streets as a field agent seamlessly, production sources reveal.”
Tiffany was at the center of last season’s ongoing case. It was in the premiere that Hobbs (Roshawn Franklin) was killed while undercover with Tiffany. Her guilt led to her being determined to catch his killer all season, and in the finale, she did. Hakim did have a gun on him, so there wasn’t a question of whether he was armed when Tiffany shot him in the finale.
But could that case—we saw how it affected her all season, including in talking to Hobbs’ widow—be what leads to her exit? Perhaps she decides she wants to move to another unit within the FBI, or since it is something we saw with her last season, she takes on a job with more of a supervisorial role. (Jeremy Sisto‘s Jubal had told her to be more assertive in the premiere, and perhaps that’s something she’s ready for full-time.)
“She has definitely not left this chapter unscathed. That would be almost impossible. I think the lasting effects are yet to be fully realized, but I am always fighting, along with Tiffany, for her continued healing and growth. How that will happen is yet to be seen,” Kane told TV Insider before last spring’s finale. We’ll have to wait to see if any of that plays into her exit.
There is always the concern that Tiffany could be killed on the job, but we do hope that how she’s written out leaves the door open for Kane to return in the future.
How do you think FBI will write out Kane’s Tiffany? Let us know in the comments section, below.

Wasn’t sure when she started if I would like her. She turned out to be a super addition to the cast. She was really great. Sorry to see her go. Hopefully they write her out where she’s able to come back.

I like all of the characters in the show. Great cast. Kane/Tiffany was impressive. Thoughtful, expressive, like Maggie - first one in, and tough. My favorite scenes were during foot chases when she’d appear out of nowhere and surprise and strong arm the perp. She had worthy chemistry with Scola. Damn! I’ll miss her.

It sounds like they let her go instead of her leaving. I'm very disappointed considering I liked the character on the show. Hopefully, she will land on her feet.

I really dislike it when networks tell you before the start of a season what actors will be leaving. It eliminates any surprise or shock value You basically sit back and wait to see when the character's killed off or leaves for another reason. CBS has found another way to disappoint the views.

CBS has struck once more! I hate to see the character Tiffany leave the show.Have enjoyed her performances ever since she joined the cast. Hopefully she will not be killed off so she can return in future episodes as a visiting agent in certain cases. 5 will get you 20 that she isn't getting the pay she deserves like other cast members. I would really like to know the reason why she is leaving. I wish her the very best in her future endeavors.

She was one of my favorites on the show. Who makes these stupid decisions?

Terrific character, sad to see her go. Alana de La Gaza is the best.

Love Tif, my favorite character. Full of spunk .She is perfect out on the field with Scola, who trusts and supports her implicitly, even when she mindfully goes off track. Love those two together. Please keep her! Why does Wolf break up teams that work well together?

FBI is one of my favorite shows but I am getting a little discouraged as to why the black actors are the ones that are always leaving. Does anyone think that’s fair?

Absolutely love her!!! Why is she leaving, is it her decision?? I really hate it when characters you've watched for awhile are just replaced. It's like losing a friend, someone you expect to see and then all of a sudden they're gone. Very disappointed and wish her the Very BEST!

I hate to see her go, but that killing did affect her more than she realized. Hopefully she can come back later, I really enjoyed her.

I never really liked her character, she was always playing the race card.

I’m a little upset that this character is leaving FBI. When you get settle into the show, that’s when Dick Wolf changed things up a bit. Katherine Renee Kane was the second actor to played her character and she brought depth to the character. I hope the new character will stay there as a long some of the male characters.

I enjoy all the FBI shows, but the constant overturning of the casts really makes it difficult to get invested in hardly any of the characters (w/ a few rare exceptions with actors who've stuck around). For the most part, the original has been kept intact while the other two shows have been a revolving door (nearly all the first-season casts of FBI:MW and FBI:I have exited). So this is not a good sign.

I agree, she was good in Ksw and Order but she is terrible as a Supervisor. Bring Sela Ward back, she was great!

I thought she was 'too quiet/weak' to pull off being a fbi agent. Wheres the gusto ala Maggie? LOVE Scola ❤️
