EXCLUSIVE: Scola may have found his new partner. Emily Alabi (S.W.A.T., Joe Pickett) has been cast in FBI as a recurring on CBS procedural’s current seventh season, sources close to production tell Deadline.
Alabi will portray a new agent and is expected to be paired with Stuart Scola (John Boyd), whose longtime partner Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) left in early October. Although Alabi joins in a recurring role, we understand there’s potential for her to become a series regular in Season 8.
