Heida Reed

OF FBI INTERNATIO­NAL

- BY ADAM THOMLISON

Q: I can’t believe “FBI: Internatio­nal” [spoilers deleted — see below if you’re caught up on the latest season].

A: The thing “FBI: Internatio­nal” did, which was removed from the question to avoid spoiling a major Season 3 event, is write off Agent Jamie Kellett.

As action shows like this go, it was a pretty gentle sendoff: Kellett said she was transferri­ng to the D.C. office to “go back home” and deal with the grief from her sister’s death.

The fact that she didn’t die leaves it open for Kellett to return, either in cameos or on a full-time basis.

In the meantime, Heida Reed (“One Day,” 2011), who played Kellett since “FBI: Internatio­nal’s” 2021 debut, has not announced her next move.

The day after her final episode aired, she posted a simple goodbye on Instagram. “Thank you so much to the fans for letting Jamie into your hearts. Agent Kellett out!” We don’t even know if Reed will keep plying her trade in English-language television — her previous gig was in her native Iceland (and Icelandic), starring in a show called “Stella Blomkvist.”

I say “English-language” because, though “FBI: Internatio­nal” was an American show, it was actually filmed in Hungary, where the show was set. And her other most recent gig was the British series “Poldark.” So even if she continues to work in English, it’s not clear if the result will be easily seen in North America.

So, bad news overall for fans of Agent Kellett. But as I said, the door remains open for her return. And in the meantime, the show goes on: that was just the first episode, so there’s plenty more of Season 3 to come.
