Season 1 was wonderful, featuring a harmonious cast, offering a new world than the norm with different locations, and liked Europol addition. It easily established its differences from other FBIs. It left me excited for more, but the constant changes in 2&3 made it disconnected.
Hope Season 4 brings S01 magic and more stability to the cast.
FBI Franchise's Joint Trailer Features First Look at Chicago P.D. Alum Jesse Lee Soffer in FBI: International (Exclusive)
"I can't wait for you all to meet him," Soffer tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement of his character Wes Mitchell
PEOPLE can exclusively premiere the first trailer for the all-new seasons of FBI, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted — as well as the first look at Jesse Lee Soffer, who joins FBI: International as Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell.
The trailer sees the bureau's teams in Budapest (FBI: International's Fly Team), New York (FBI) and the Fugitive Task Force (FBI: Most Wanted) as they tackle emergencies all around the world.
Soffer, 40, tells PEOPLE he's "very excited to join FBI: International and for the fans to meet the team’s newest member, Wesley (Wes) Mitchell."
Describing his character, the Chicago P.D. alum says, "Wes is smart, doesn’t take himself too seriously but always strives for justice, no matter the obstacle. I can’t wait for you all to meet him. And the bonus for me is getting to learn some Hungarian along the way. Jo moka lesz ;)."
Season 4 of FBI: International will see the elite operatives behind the International Fly Team as they "travel throughout Europe with the mission of tracking and neutralizing threats against American citizens wherever they may be, putting their lives on the line to protect the U.S. and its people," per an official description.
Soffer's character, the "charming and rakish" Wes Mitchell, has "impeccable instincts and unconventional tactics," which "deepen his drive to stop at nothing to achieve justice."
The Fly Team is also comprised of Special Agent Andre Raines (Carter Redwood), Special Agent Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto), Megan “Smitty” Garretson (Eva Jane Willis) and Special Agent Amanda Tate (Christina Wolfe).
Station 19 alum Jay Hayden is also a newcomer to the procedural and will appear as Agent Tyler Booth in the latter part of the upcoming season.
Just for fun, a list of my favourite girls of all time. Some are still my crushes. Some are just plain gorgeous. Others are there for sentimental reasons. No particular order.

Hi! Do you have any comforting book/movie recs? Maybe with a sweet love story or friendship?
ABSOLUTELY I do!!
Books
Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn. This is a really charming romance about Meg, who does custom calligraphy, including wedding invitations, like the invites she did for Reid Sutherland a year ago. But now he's back, having spotted a hidden message she wove into his invitations warning him that his marriage was doomed. He wants to know how she knew, but Meg's got her own problems - but despite herself she feels a connection with Reid that's only growing deeper . . .
Everything Eva Ibbotson has ever written, especially her historical romances. My personal favourite is The Secret Countess, set in 1919, in which Anna, a Russian Countess, after fleeing from the Bolsheviks, takes a job as a maid in a young English Earl's household.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows - told in letters and the inspiration for the film, it's quite different from the movie in some respects but is just warm, gentle and a really cosy read.
Crosstalk by Connie Willis - this is a romcom with a slight sci-fi vibe; in the not too distance future Briddey Flannigan gets an implant to allow telepathic communication with her boyfriend so they can have a more open relationship, but instead finds herself connected to someone else entirely . . .
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell - this is such a gentle romance, set in the 90s, Lincoln works for a paper in their IT department and has been assigned to check emails that get flagged by their new system. One particular coworker, Beth, keeps getting her emails flagged and as he reads them, he finds himself falling in love with her . . . the only problem is he's never actually met her.
Anne of Green Gables (and sequels) by L. M. Montgomery - a true classic, that is just so joyful to read, and the love story between Anne and Gilbert is one of my very favourites.
The Boy trilogy by Meg Cabot - these are three of Meg Cabot's adult books, all loosely connected but they can be read as standlones, and are just fun, easy reads with nice romances that are really feel good.
Movies
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - since I've plugged the book let's also plug the movie. It's gentle, it's warm, it's comforting, it's lovely and it's two hours of Michiel Huisman being charming.
The Shop Around the Corner - the original that inspired You've Got Mail, with James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. It's lower stakes that YGM but still fun, romantic and really feel good.
When In Rome - this film is ridiculous but I love it, a romcom with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel where she takes coins out of a fountain in Rome causing four men to fall hopelessly in love with her.
The Longest Ride - this is based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and one of my comfort films. There's two love stories, one in the present day and one historical being told to the heroine by Alan Alda, and they're both really sweet.
Your Name - an anime film, I watched this a few years ago and it instantly became one of my all time favourites. It's so beautifully animated, and the romance in it is top tier.
When Fools Rush In - Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek have a one night stand in Las Vegas, but when she gets pregnant he proposes marriage on a whim and they try to build a life together. A stellar romcom and Matthew Perry said it was his favourite of all his films.
Belle (2013) - absolute peak period drama romance, and a truly underrated gem of a film.
Take the Lead - inspired by a true story, Antonia Banderas stars as a ballroom dancer who teaches a class of inner-city kids to dance. Beautiful, charming, romantic.
The Jane Austen Book Club - a group of women form a book club to read all the Jane Austen books, and find they help with their own problems. Lots of friendship and a bit of romance on the side.
And since it is December some special Christmas comfort movie plugs . . .
While You Were Sleeping - Sandra Bullock saves a man from an oncoming train, but gets mistaken by his family for his financee and then starts falling for his brother. A+++ rom com.
Christmas in Boston - two penpals finally agree to meet after writing for 13 years. The catch? They both sent each other pictures of their best friends and pretended it was them.
Dash & Lily - a series rather than a movie but super cute. Lily leaves a notebook with some challenges in a bookstore, Dash finds it and does them, and leaves her some of his own in return, and thus an unlikely friendship is born.
Midnight at the Magnolia - radio hosts and childhood friends Maggie and Jack fake being a couple to drive up the ratings on their show.
Miracle on 34th Street - both the original 1940s version and the 90s remark are great, in which a lawyer and a little girl have to prove that a man claiming to be Santa is the real thing when he's put on trial.
The 12 Dates of Christmas - woman set up on a blind date on Christmas Eve has to relive the night over and over until she gets it right.
I hope those will do you for a while and that you enjoy them!!! Shout if you need any more :)

From the intense FBI Season 6 finale, which left me questioning Agent Tiffany Wallace's actions. And yes, I know the gun was found... but still, something feels unresolved.
To the Fly Team's farewell toast to Agent Scott Forrester in International's S3 finale, and finally, the surprise happy ending that led to a second line-style parade into the streets of Most Wanted, these finales had me on the edge of my seat and eager for what's next!
Find out what’s in store for the FBI's new season as they tackle new threats, new teammates, and evolving relationships.

I have a hard time following this show at times, and now that another major character as left the team, it wouldn't bother me at all if this series was canceled.
