‘FBI’: Katherine Renee Kane Opens up About Leaving in Season 7
The FBI team is saying goodbye to one in the upcoming seventh season, premiering on Tuesday, October 15 at 8/7c: Katherine Renee Kane will be leaving and is said to be appearing in at least one episode. She first joined the show in Season 3.
As for why Kane is leaving, “It was time to look towards new creative endeavors. I’m excited for the future and wish the show all the best,” she said in a statement to Deadline.
It’s unclear yet how FBI will be writing out Kane’s Special Agent Tiffany Wallace, and her statement doesn’t reveal whether or not the door will be left open for her to return in the future, meaning that anything’s on the table from a position in another unit to moving away from New York to death (whether on the job or off).
Once Tiffany leaves, Scola (John Boyd) will be getting a new partner in new series regular Lisette Olivera‘s Syd, an agent part of the Behavioral Analysis Unit who’s moving into field world. She has experience that will help with that transition. We’ll have to see how she fits in with the rest of the team; how Tiffany is written out may play into that.
The sixth season didn’t end on a cliffhanger. Rather, it wrapped up the season-long search for the person who killed one of the FBI’s own, Hobbs (Roshawn Franklin), in the premiere; Tiffany took it particularly hard since she had been undercover with him at the time. She was involved in the final shootout in the finale, but with a gun recovered at the scene, there wasn’t an investigation into what happened. That suggests that however Tiffany’s written out will likely not be directly related to that case.
How do you think Tiffany will be written out? Let us know in the comments section, below.

I’m very disappointed. She was one of the highlights of the show.

She was great and didn't get enough assignments.
Someone that's been on a show for 3 seasons doesn't leave to look towards new creative enveadors.
This sounds fishy.
I wish her success!

That statement sounds like something that's said when a person is either fired, terminated or resigned from their job. Example: "so and so has decided to pursue other interest; we wish them well/the best in their endeavors". I don't like the fact that two Black women, and Scola's partner, have both been unceremoniously dumped from the show with no real explanation.

Glad she's leaving. She thought her character could go against protocol because she's "special ".
Send her character to Billings, MT.
