FBI: International Wraps Up With Tokyo-Based Finale
The popular CBS crime drama FBI: International officially ended its four-season run on May 20, 2025, with a final episode titled "Gaijin." The last story followed Agent Wes Mitchell (played by Jesse Lee Soffer) on a mission to Tokyo. He worked with local authorities to catch a serial killer behind multiple murders in different countries.
The episode ended with a tense standoff that brought the investigation to a close, giving fans an action-packed final case.
Fans Divided Over Final Episode Focus
While the finale had plenty of suspense, many fans were not satisfied with how the series ended. Long-time viewers felt the show did not give enough attention to core characters like Agent Vo and Agent Raines, who had little screen time.
Some fans said the finale felt more like a spinoff pilot for Agent Mitchell than a true ending for the team they had followed for four seasons. Others pointed out that there was no closure for key storylines or emotional goodbyes for the team.
CBS Cancels the Series After Four Seasons
CBS had already announced the cancellation of FBI: International in March 2025. The network said the decision came down to budget concerns and scheduling changes. While the original FBI series continues, this marks the end of its international branch.
The finale was likely not written to fully wrap up the story, which may explain why many fans felt it was unfinished.
A New Direction for the Franchise?
As CBS turns its attention to other projects, fans are wondering if another spinoff could take FBI: International's place. There’s talk of a new show, possibly titled "FBI: CIA," that may explore deeper intelligence operations and crossover cases.
