It’s time to meet Agent Wes Mitchell in the FBI: International Season 4 trailer
There’s a new boss in town in FBI: International Season 4. We get our first look at Jesse Lee Soffer’s character, Agent Wes Mitchell, in the new trailer for the season.
The CBS premieres are just around the corner, and that means time to focus on what’s to come. For the Fly Team, it’s change. Scott Forrester is off with his mom, evading the authorities while he focuses on clearing her name. That leads an opening on the Fly Team.
As much as we’d love Cameron Vo to take over, that’s not happening. She only just moved up as Forrester’s Second-in-Command. It’s going to take time before she’s able to lead the team.
Of course, with a new leader coming in, fans need to like him. That means setting up a good introduction storyline, and we get to see some of that in the trailer for the season. Mitchell isn’t coming in to completely shake things up. While he’s seasoned in law enforcement, he’s not seasoned as an FBI agent.
Mitchell is a former LAPD officer. This means he tackles cases a little differently to the FBI agents. It can also mean that he brings some fresh ideas, as long as he’s open to learn the ways of the Fly Team at the same time.
We worried a little about how Vo would take someone new coming in and leading the team. Well, it looks like she’s more than happy to see him step into Forrester’s shoes. Her “hell yeah!” response makes it clear that there isn’t any bad blood between them, and that’s sure to make things easier for us as fans to like the new character.

former Chicago P.D. star Jesse Lee Soffer is zooming into a new chapter in his career, starring as Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell in Season 4 of CBS‘ FBI: International, which premieres on October 15. In the clip above, we have your exclusive first look at the action-packed events that eventually take Wes on a trip abroad.
In “A Leader, Not A Tourist,” Wes gets caught up in an epic car chase following a mysterious crew causing chaos in Los Angeles. But when his partner is shot and the suspects flee to Budapest, Wes is hot on their trail with a little assist from the Fly Team. Oh, and for anyone wondering, Soffer is doing “most” of his own stunts. “Yeah, my knees are aching,” he joked during a recent interview with Deadline.
The new gig heralded a big reunion between the fast and furious driver and Chicago P.D. co-creator Matt Olmstead, who writes and executive produces on FBI: International.
“There’s so much action, the first episode is great,” he teased. “When Matt and I first started talking about doing this, we discussed who this character was going to be. I love Matt’s writing, which was one of the biggest draws for me to do this. He delivered; that first episode was so much fun and it felt like a pilot.”
He continued, “When you meet Wes, he’s in this complicated relationship and he’s obviously married to his work. You’ll see his girlfriend throwing out his shit because she thinks he’s cheating but he’s not. He’s just a hard worker but they get into this fight, and that’s how the episode starts. When he goes off afterward with his partner, who’s a close buddy, they get involved in a shooting when they’re chasing this robbery crew. But when his partner gets shot, Wes becomes a man on fire and chases these guys to Budapest. He reconnects with Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) there, with whom he has this whole backstory…The episode is packed with a lot of characters, backstories and a lot of action. It’s a great starting point for this new season of FBI: International and this new energy.”
