Just when Chicago P.D. fans were still grieving the exit of Jay Halstead, Jesse Lee Soffer is BACK — but with a bold twist. He’s not reprising his iconic role. Instead, he’s stepping into a brand-new character: Supervisory Special Agent Wes Mitchell, the fearless new leader of the Fly Team on FBI: International!
💥 From Chicago to Global Command
After Luke Kleintank’s departure as Scott Forrester, Soffer was hand-picked to take over the reins — not as Halstead, but as a whole new persona. Fans were SHOCKED that the producers didn’t opt for a crossover return. Instead, they’re giving Jesse a fresh slate — and he’s owning every second of it.
💬 Fan Reactions Are Wild:
“He’s not Halstead… but damn, he’s still THAT guy.”
“New look, new vibe, same badass Jesse energy!”

Even though Jesse’s debut as Wes Mitchell is stealing headlines, FBI: International has officially been canceled after Season 4. Still, showrunner Derek Haas teased that Soffer was a “late-game revelation,” hinting he might return elsewhere in the growing Dick Wolf TV universe.
