‘FBI: International’ Stars Bid Farewell to Canceled Show: ‘What a Wild Ride’
The FBI: International team is saying goodbye to the CBS show, its fans, and its Hungarian filming locations now that CBS has canceled the show.
“FBI: International. What. A. Wild ride,” Vinessa Vidotto, the actor behind FBI Special Agent Cameron Vo, wrote on Instagram on Saturday, March 15. “Four years. Ten-plus countries. Wow. Never did I think this would be my life. I’ve lived in Hungary longer than L.A. Like, what?! If someone told me that, I wouldn’t believe it.”
Vidotto added that she went from never having traveled to Europe and not knowing what jet lag feels like to learning “a wee bit” of Hungarian, enjoying local food and scenery, and “[making] lifelong friends with coworkers on set, fans, guest stars, and the locals.”
And to the fans, she wrote, “Thank you for watching our show and being invested. I’ve met so many of y’all in the funniest places, from the post office to being on a Ferris wheel. It’s been challenging and beautiful to have played Cameron Vo. As an actor, being able to learn on set every day for 10 months a year [has] been the best intense learning experience. I needed this chapter. I’m filled with gratitude. And now it’s time to graduate and grow, again.”

Eva-Jane Willis, who played Europol agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson on FBI: International’s last three seasons, also honored the TV show in an Instagram post on Saturday.
“There are no words,” she wrote. “So many fantastic friendships on screen and off. So many countries. So many adventures. Loved every minute. Thank you to all the people who worked their asses off and made this possible. Legends all. Love and prosperity to each and every one of you.”
CBS canceled both of FBI’s scripted spinoffs earlier this month, axing FBI: Most Wanted after six seasons and FBI: International after four. The network is, however, developing a new spinoff, tentatively titled FBI: CIA. The logline reads: “A dedicated, strait-laced FBI agent and a street-smart CIA agent are part of a new, clandestine taskforce charged with solving and preventing domestic terrorism in and around New York City.”
FBI: International is scheduled to conclude its fourth and final season this spring. So far, Season 4 is down more than 8 percent in total viewers and more than 14 percent in its 18-to-49 demo ratings compared to Season 3, according to TV Series Finale.
FBI: International, Tuesdays, 9/8c, CBS

I’m livid that you’re canceling one of best shows on CBS FBI International. Love Jesse Soffer & Smitty! It’s a great show full of on your edge seat moments & suspense! Big mistake here getting rid of it.

I've loved this show from its first episode. Haven't missed one after, nor of the flagship, FBI. Can't believe the brass at CBD can't see what needs to be considered and why this is happening in the first place. Tuesday is now (it appears) the night of must-see TV. The FBIs are competing for eyeballs with The Rookie and the truly wonderful new Doc (Fox's breakout hit). It's been a real challenge for me to figure out my Tues "first" viewing schedule as I actually make it a priority to watch the first 2 FBIs live! And quite often Most Wanted, as well, though I don't watch every episode. Hardly ever watched it before Remy took over but have seen most ever since.
So I ask...why not consider moving the 3 existing shows to another night? Friday is going to be completely empty with SWAT and Blue Bloods gone (unless Danny Regan's new Boston Blues will be slotting into the BB's spot?)
Monday is also pathetic but I realize it's not a great ratings-grabbing night, traditionally.
FBI/CIA ugh! Who came up with that idea? Sounds boring.
And I've never watched any of the Chicago Wed night shows. Not one. Having 3 shows to watch in one night actually put me off -- too much commitment. The only reason I got into FBI was the Maggie/OA chemistry. And then I stuck around (even though FBI isn't as good as it was at the beginning) when International started because it filled a long-felt void of 2 other cancelled European-set shows I loved: Crossing Lines and another one with Ashley Judd.

Horrible decision by CBS. Get rid of some of the ridiculous reality or games shows.
I guess they don't want people to watch who actually can think.

As FBI Most Wanted I quit watching soon as LeCroix left. Can’t stand McMahan believe he’s ruined the show. We really enjoyed the show until then. My husband and I are FBI supporters watched all three until LeCroix left then when McMahon came no more Most Wanted. We still loved the Regular & International but now you’re screwing that up. Don’t understand why you people can’t leave good shows alone quit putting on drivel like dumb game shows or reality shows! Those are dangerous and dumb!

Here's an idea-This from another website-"There is also the issue of shelf space. With a slew of current series renewed over the past couple of months, including NCIS, NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Sydney, Tracker, Fire Country, Elsbeth and Matlock, CBS had to cancel existing dramas to make room for new ones." So, CANCEL the "reality" shows and they will have plenty of room for actual, legit, scripted drama. Problem solved. NO need to cancel 2 of the FBI Shows.

Super disappointed in the FBI Most Wanted and FBI International cancelations!! We watched faithfully! as well as all NCIS shows, crime investigation shows and comedies.
My family members can't stand the game shows, reality shows, musical competitions, etc.
