Nicolas Cage fans have been teased by the actor’s possible return to one of his beloved franchises for many years now, and it seems that they may have to wait a bit longer as the actor recently shared a disappointing, if slightly optimistic, view on the chancesof National Treasure 3 ever happening.

Cage is currently starring in The Surfer, another wild and unpredictable movie that has landed a strong set of reviews for the actor. While promoting the film, Cage spoke to MovieWeb’s George Edelman, and as well as discussing his current movie, he gave a short response to the chances for fans finally getting to see Benjamin Franklin Gates heading out in search of another “national treasure” in the near future. Cage said:

“Don’t know. I do know that there’s been more chatter about it than normal.”

When it comes to filling the void left by the season-opening exit of Special Agent Tiffany Wallace (played by Katherine Renee Kane), it would appear that the third time’s the charm for CBS’ FBI.

After giving Scola a purposely fleeting new partner in Episode 2, followed by an unexpectedly short-term partner (played by Lisette Olivera), the crime drama this week went about things a very different way. The April 1 episode, “Covered,” introduced Special Agent Dani Rhodes (Magnum P.I. and S.W.A.T. vet Emily Alabi) with a robust storyline that both told us much about her as a Leo and had...

People say those who are resistant to change oftentimes break, when said change becomes inevitable. For FBI's Scola Stuart (John Boyd), he seems to be quite adaptable at the moment. Having parted ways with his longtime partner, Tiffany (Katherine Renee Kane), in the procedural's Season 7 premiere, Scola has had to try out other partnerships. Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera) is the most recent, however, that hasn't worked out either. Looking ahead regarding what comes next for the agent, a lack of a partner isn't what is likely to upset Scola in a future episode, according to Boyd.

The crime drama S.W.A.T. has yet to achieve the supreme popularity of other CBS series such as NCIS or Blue Bloods, but it's strong enough that it managed to survive not one, but two cancellations. Between 2023 and 2024, S.W.A.T. was in a weird limbo state when Sony and CBS struggled to find common ground to keep the series on-air. Eventually, they did come to an agreement that worked for everybody, but not after a long string of disappointments and confusing decisions.

S.W.A.T. first premiered in 2017, following a Los Angeles Police Department Sergeant named Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson who is tasked with leading a new Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) unit as a way to bridge the gap between the L.A. police force and the Black community. The pièce de résistance of the series is lead actor Shemar Moore, who already had a loyal fanbase from his work on Criminal Minds, another CBS...

FBI explained what happened to Sydney Ortiz, so how did they write off this short-lived character?

Caution: This article contains Spoilers for FBI Season 7, Episode 9

As Season 7 of FBI began, it was confirmed that Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) was leaving the FBI, feeling guilty over losing a partner in Season 6. That left her regular partner, Stuart Scola (John Boyd), needing a new partner.

After a few brief fill-ins, Scola seemed to get a regular new partner in Sydney Ortiz (Lissette Olivera). A member of the Behavioral Crimes Unit, Sydney worked with the team to find a killer targeting her sister. She impressed them enough to join full-time.

It was expected that Olivera would be a regular face on the show and Boyd talked about working with her. That’s why it was a shock when it was announced that Olivera was already leaving the show before her debut episode even aired.

A new FBI spinoff series has entered development at CBS. It marks the latest TV show from crime procedural mastermind Dick Wolf, as well as the third spinoff made for FBI.

Per Deadline, a new FBI spinoff series is in development with a focus on the CIA.

Wolf is writing the series alongside FBI: Most Wanted showrunner David Hudgins, Nicole Perlman (Captain Marvel), and former CIA officer David Chasteen.

FBI fans have been enduring some unexpected changes on the show. The Season 7 premiere opened by revealing Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) was leaving the unit. That left Scola (John Boyd) without a regular partner with a couple of fill-ins that didn’t work out.

The plan was for Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera) to join as a Bau operative jumping to the main team.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for FBI season 7, episode 4, "Doubted."

FBI season 7, episode 4 introduces a potential new replacement for Tiffany Wallace when Syd Ortiz joins the team. Tiffany left the FBI season 7 cast after the season premiere, explaining that she was moving to Georgia to work in her sister's cafe and regain her peace of mind. Replacing her was not going to be easy, as she had been Scola's partner since season 3, and he totally trusted her.

While FBI justified writing Tiffany out, their explanations for why Scola's new partners keep leaving aren't nearly as clear. He has had two partners so far, and neither of them has lasted more than an episode. Sofia Ortega decided that the New York Field Office wasn't for her, while neither Ulrich's presence nor his absence was ever explained. When Syd arrives in "Doubted," she's not immediately introduced as Scola's partner, but it's clear...

The following contains major spoilers for FBI Season 7, Episode 4, "Doubted," which debuted Tuesday, Nov. 12 on CBS. It also contains discussion of sexual assault.

FBI Season 7, Episode 4, "Doubted" is a surprisingly underwhelming episode of the CBS show, but the surprise wears off when one learns the circumstances around it. The installment is the debut of National Treasure: Edge of History star Lisette Olivera, who was cast to fill the vacancy created when Katherine Renee Kane left the series. As such, "Doubted" is truly constructed around Olivera's character Sydney "Syd" Ortiz and everyone else feels like they're just along for the ride. But then there's a catch that makes it even more complicated.

"Doubted" begins when Sydney's sister Melanie Ortiz is attacked by a stranger in her apartment. Dissatisfied with the police response, Sydney convinces Isobel Castille to make it an FBI case, and naturally uncovers a much larger crime.

In FBI Season 7, Episode 4, "Doubted," a new team member joins the New York Field Office. Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera) is a Bau profiler who seeks the help of Jubal's (Jeremy Sisto) team when her sister is the victim of an attempted kidnapping. This sends her and the entire team on a hunt for a sexual offender who leaves no evidence behind him. The logline for the November 12 episode teases this case, while a new sneak peek previews the new agent who will be paired with Scola (John Boyd) for several episodes.

FBI has been churning out some great episodes this season, especially as we follow the aftermath of Stuart Scola losing his partner, Tiffany Wallace, after she decided to leave the FBI. Unfortunately, even though we’re already looking forward to new episodes, we will have to wait another week to watch our favorite CBS series.

There will not be a brand new episode airing on Tuesday, Nov. 5, nor will there be a repeat. Instead, CBS will be airing election night coverage for the U.S. This means that normal primetime broadcast shows will not be airing any episodes. So unfortunately, we have to wait another week to see what the FBI agents are up to.

The next episode will feature Lisette Olivera, who was originally cast to portray Scola’s new work partner. However, news has already spread that she will not be with the show much longer. She will...

CBS’s FBI returns after taking Election Day off with season seven episode four, “Doubted.” Episode four focuses on Bau Profiler Sydney Ortiz (new cast member Lisette Olivera) and will air on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 8pm Et/Pt.

Missy Peregrym stars as Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki plays Special Agent Omar Adom “Oa” Zidan, Jeremy Sisto is Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, and Alana De La Garza is Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille. John Boyd plays Special Agent Stuart Scola and Lisette Olivera plays Syd.

“Doubted” Plot: When the sister of FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) profiler Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera) is the victim of an attempted kidnapping and sexual assault, Sydney seeks help from Isobel and the team in tracking down a meticulous serial offender who leaves no evidence behind. Episode four was directed by Alex Chapple from a script by Bryce Ahart and Stephanie McFarlane.

FBI's disappointing casting update for season 7 confirms what I was afraid would happen during season 7. Tiffany Wallace left FBI in the season 7 premiere, leaving Scola (John Boyd) without a partner. In the episodes since, Scola has worked with several partners who were not good fits for him and did not remain with the New York Field Office, making it clear that they were only placeholders until Syd (Lisette Olivera) could arrive on the scene.

I disapproved of the idea of using temporary partners because it would make it more difficult to trust that Syd was staying for more than a few episodes. However, her character sounded like it would move FBI in a bold, new direction by including a behavioral analyst with little tactical experience in the FBI: season 7 cast. Unfortunately, Dick Wolf Entertainment recently announced that Syd will also only remain with the series for only a few episodes,...

One character on the CBS procedural FBI will be once again without a partner, as Deadline reports Lisette Olivera is leaving the show - before her character even debuts on the series. Oliveras character was originally supposed to be a new partner for Special Agent Stuart Scola, played by John Boyd.

Olivera has filmed a handful of episodes of the hit series and will first be seen in Episode 4 of the current seventh season of FBI as a character named Syd Ortiz. That episode is set to air on Nov. 12. Ortiz is a trained Behavioral Analysis Unit Agent with the criminal division of the New York office of the FBI.

The episodes featuring Olivera are expected to air as previously planned.

While the FBI team is excellent at dealing with offenders, especially violent ones, others are too depraved, and they need some help from another FBI unit. The Bau has been referenced severally in the show but hasn't been actively involved in many cases. This will change in FBI Season 7, Episode 4, "Doubted," when a Bau agent with a personal connection to the case seeks out the team and asks for their help. The episode's logline teases the debut of the new agent, Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera), and the circumstances behind her appearance. The promo for the November 12 episode previews the victims and the team's attempt to find them.

The search for Tiffany's replacement continues, as FBI's new series regular departs before her episode even airs. Citing a desire to move on to different opportunities, Katherine Renee Kane exited during FBI season 7 and the character of Special Agent Tiffany Wallace was written off in the premiere of the seventh installment. Although it seemed like the CBS procedural might have found a permanent replacement, the latest update confirms that the search will continue.

Deadline reports that National Treasure: Edge of History actor Lisette Olivera is departing FBI, with her exit occurring before her character even debuts on-screen. The actor is set to portray Syd Ortiz, a trained Behavioral Analysis Unit Agent that joins the agency's New York field office criminal division. Her character will still debut during the November 12th episode as planned, and the episodes that she has filmed will still be part of season 7.

Lisette Olivera’s arrival at the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit was heralded as the first addition to the main cast in four years. Turns out, that fanfare might have been a tad premature. Olivera, slated to play Agent Syd Ortiz, is already packing her bags after filming just a handful of episodes for the CBS procedural’s […]

Lisette Olivera’s FBI Tenure Cut Short: A Revolving Door at the Bau?...

It’s back to the drawing board for Stuart Scola (John Boyd) when it comes to finding someone to replace Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) on FBI. Lisette Olivera is set to debut in the November 12 episode as Syd Ortiz, from the Behavioral Analysis Unit—her name was actually mentioned in the latest episode—and was supposed to be Scola’s new permanent partner, following what Boyd has called “speed dating” for someone after Tiffany left. However, according to Deadline, she’s exiting as a series regular after “a handful of episodes.” The outlet reports that the exit comes due to “how the character fits in the show.” Syd is coming in as an agent who is a bit different from the others on the team. “She’s newer and fresher and younger,” showrunner Mike Weiss told TV Insider around the premiere. With her Bau background, “she’s going to...

Scola will have to contend with flying solo for several episodes of FBI Season 7. Lisette Olivera, who was meant to come on permanently as Scola's new partner, has departed the show after a few episodes, according to a report from Deadline. Olivera will play Syd Ortiz, a trained Bau agent who joins the team at the New York field office. Reportedly, Olivera departs the series not because of any conflicts or her performance, but because she may read too young to play an FBI detective who can command respect as an authority figure. This does not reflect poorly on Olivera's work as an actor, but at 25 years old, there is not much she can do about it.
