Katherine Renee Kane Just Broke Her Silence On Exit From CBS' FBI: 'It Was Time'

As a gamer who has been following FBI for the past four seasons and deeply appreciating the representation that Katherine Renee Kane‘s character, Tiffany Wallace, brought to the screen, I must admit that her departure feels like a blow to me. While I understand that actors may choose to move on to new creative endeavors, it’s hard not to feel a pang of sadness and a sense of loss, especially when it comes to beloved characters.


As a devoted gamer, I was eagerly awaiting the return of my favorite TV series, FBI, on our screens this September. But, it seems there’s been a slight shift in plans – they’re pushing back the air date until October this year. With this delay, I can sense that the prime-time drama might take on a fresh twist, and I’m guessing the ensemble cast could be reshaped as well. The buzz around town is that our long-standing star, Katherine Renee Kane, won’t be returning for Season 7, which certainly adds an element of mystery to the upcoming season.

Kane, who stepped into the FBI team during its third season as a sort of substitute for Ebonee Noel’s character Kristen Chazal, has played Special Agent Tiffany Wallace for nearly four seasons. At the end of Season 6, she was shown to have been right in shooting Hakim, and discussed with TopMob how this resolution brought closure, yet it didn’t appear that she would exit the series before upcoming episodes. Deadline reports this is how she reacted to the news becoming public:

It was time to look towards new creative endeavors. I’m excited for the future and wish the show all the best.

Although it might seem impersonal or casual, her departure might not have hit her with a deep emotional impact yet, which is why she may find it difficult to express her feelings more profoundly regarding the news that she’s leaving Facebook.

Alternatively, her decision to seek new opportunities might reflect her dissatisfaction with the producers reducing the number of episodes for series regulars in the seventh season. If she was looking for other jobs, it often suggests unhappiness with the current situation. Going back to the Season 6 finale, it could also be that her character’s storyline had reached its conclusion and there were no major plotlines being written for Tiffany at this time.

Katherine Renee Kane hasn’t shared anythign further on social media in the days since her exit was announced. Her most recent Instagram post is from May 2023, but fans still took to it to share their current dismay, with one saying:

I’m genuinely surprised that you’re departing from the series. Your portrayal was a significant part of why I tuned in and appreciated the show. Despite the absence of a romantic interest for your character, your chemistry with the rest of the cast was delightful. I eagerly anticipate seeing you on another production. Frankly, I might not continue watching once you’re gone as it won’t feel the same. Wishing you all the best in your upcoming endeavors!💖

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the team behind FBI has swiftly filled the gap left by Tiffany Wallace’s departure with Lisette Olivera, who will be starring in our favorite CBS drama as a series regular. She’ll be bringing her talents to life as Agent Syd, a Behavioral Analysis Unit agent ready for some action-packed fieldwork.

In other titles within this franchise, Luke Kleintank, who starred in FBI: International, departed in April. Later on, it was disclosed that Jesse Lee Soffer from Chicago P.D. had joined Season 4 of the series, portraying a distinct character, even though both shows share the same universe created by Dick Wolf.

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be tuning in on Tuesday, October 15 at 8:00 p.m. to catch the Season 7 premiere of FBI on CBS! The excitement doesn’t end there, as we’ll also get to see the Season 4 debut of FBI: International and the Season 6 start of FBI: Most Wanted following that.
