The 2024 TV season is winding down for a lot of of community tv’s greatest reveals, together with CBS’ FBI. Followers of that drama are safer than most concerning the future due to CBS delivering a three-season renewal, however FBI returning by way of Season 9 does not imply the solid will stay the identical. The newest episode raised the chance that Maggie may step away from work at 26 Fed, which might be a bummer, to say the least. So, I revisited a dialog with actress Missy Peregrym from earlier in Season 6 and what she mentioned makes me much less nervous about Maggie’s future.
The Newest Plot Twist For Maggie
Within the FBI episode that aired on April 23 (and is out there streaming by way of Paramount+ subscription), Maggie went undercover to attempt to rescue a kidnapped pregnant lady from a cult’s compound, together with Scola and OA. Whereas they had been profitable, Maggie was shot. Her bulletproof vest worn beneath her garments saved her life, however the shot got here terrifyingly near lacking the vest and hitting Maggie as an alternative. If the bullet had hit even an inch in a unique route, she would have died… and Ella would have been an orphan once more, which weighed on Maggie on the finish of the hour.
It was additionally weighing on OA, who pushed previous some hesitation and informed Isobel that he thinks Maggie must be benched for a bit so she will take a while with Ella. It is a distinction to Scola masking for Tiff throughout her emotional struggles in Season 6, however OA clearly felt responsible about it and was accounting for Ella’s wellbeing, not simply Maggie’s. All in all, it actually looks like this storyline may very well be a manner for FBI to jot down out Missy Peregrym with out harming Maggie, and I doubt I am the one individual with that on their thoughts after the newest episode.
What Missy Peregrym Informed us
After I spoke with Missy Peregrym earlier this 12 months previous to the three-season renewal, she shared some hopes for the longer term that make me assume she’s undoubtedly planning additional forward on FBI than the finale in late Could. After weighing in on how motherhood and FBI discipline agent standing “do not actually go collectively” again in early April, she shared her ideas on what did not actually make sense about Maggie’s plans.
On the time, she had already shared some scenes with Rose Decker as Ella, and I requested Peregrym what it has been prefer to work carefully with a younger actress this season. The FBI star defined:
She’s so candy. She’s so pretty. She’s lots of enjoyable. Clearly for me, I’ve youngsters and I really like working with Rose. I believe she’s a lovely little lady in her coronary heart. She’s so humorous. She was so sport instantly to only be current with me and check out issues and it was a straightforward connection, which is why I hope we will work collectively for a very long time. However I actually love the truth that we get to point out that aspect of Maggie.
Missy Peregrym spoke with CinemaBlend for Episode 7 in early April. Except the actress simply meant the six remaining episodes of the sixth season because the “very long time” she hoped she’d be capable of work with younger Rose Decker, that sounds to me like she was planning a future into Season 7 and past. She continued:
I actually needed to point out one thing of Maggie as a result of we do not have lots of stuff along with her outdoors of labor. And I needed to have the ability to faucet into the maternal intuition that she has. And the way does that work inside this job? Maggie does not have a companion. What does this appear to be? And so I assumed this was an attention-grabbing solution to take that and I believe it is enjoyable to have the ability to be softer with Maggie.
Once more, these do not sound just like the phrases of a girl whose journey as Maggie would finish by the top of Could, and it will be a disgrace to lose this storyline too early. As Peregrym famous, Maggie does not have a companion in her private life, and we have already seen Scola and Nina’s makes an attempt at parenthood this season. Why not Maggie’s in the long run as nicely? Peregrym elaborated on this plot as a robust solution to dig into her character’s private life:
Your Day by day Mix of Leisure Information
It is fairly simple to do, I’ve to say, and it is one thing I am excited to do. I get to carry extra of myself to the character, which is enjoyable. I imply, I really like Maggie’s character. I like what I get to do on set. It is enjoyable, the athletics. She’s a badass and I like that, however I additionally assume that there is a fuller character right here that we will discover and that is the half that makes me actually excited to proceed doing it, if we’ve the prospect. Clearly we’re not picked up after subsequent season, however I think about that is in all probability the place we’ll take it and I wish to see Maggie develop, as folks develop.
FBI was renewed for Season 7 and past simply days after this interview with Missy Peregrym, and it actually seemed like the one impediment to Maggie’s journey persevering with was whether or not or not CBS would renew the drama. And that is actually not an impediment anymore, with three extra seasons on the best way! Peregym continued:
I’ve grown a lot in my life during the last six years and have dynamically shifted due to having kids and having duty and I really feel like I am truly an grownup now. I’ve bought my first mortgage and it is horrible. [laughs] And it is like, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve made it.’ [laughs] I am so stressed, making an attempt to maintain all the things collectively, nevertheless it’s good things. That is what you wish to do if you’re an actor. You wish to join and also you wish to relate with folks and also you wish to share of your self and convey your model of issues to the desk the place you get to say, ‘That is my understanding of it. Do you see that? Do you are feeling that? Do you get that?’ And so hopefully I get to play into that extra.
Can I be blamed for not feeling too nervous about Maggie’s future at 26 Fed after these feedback from Missy Peregrym? After all, none of them assure that FBI will finish Season 6 will Maggie nonetheless set for the thick of the motion, and there is no clear choice for a way she may steadiness discipline work with parenthood.
For now, preserve tuning in to FBI on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, adopted by FBI: Worldwide – which is truly shedding its lead this season – at 9 p.m. ET and FBI: Most Needed at 10 p.m. ET. All three reveals’ finales will air on Could 21, and all three are additionally accessible streaming now by way of Paramount+ subscription.
