I don’t see how the show can continue without him, as he is clearly the main star, and it’s shocking that he is leaving halfway through the season. I wonder if they will bring in a new actor to take over the team and hope the show gets renewed, or if this is the end for the show. Link to comment

In the article, it says a new leader will be introduced: McMahon’s final episode is scheduled to shoot next week and is set to air on Tuesday, March 8. The episode is expected to introduce a new team leader to fill the void left by LaCroix’s departure. For some reason, this didn't shock me. A procedural is nice for $$$$ and syndication [though that is much harder to come by these days!], but Julian McMahon seemed to make his name with edgier fare. I was actually stunned he had signed on to this. Time will tell how the new leader adapts or not. But if the Law & Order franchise and NCIS franchise can survive cast changes, the FBI franchise should be fine. 2 Link to comment
MerBearHou January 23, 2022 Share January 23, 2022 (edited) I like Julian McMahon fine, but am not opposed to a new leader in the show. Edited January 23, 2022 by MerBearHou 3 Link to comment
Maren January 23, 2022 Share January 23, 2022 I'm fine with his departure although hopefully they won't bring in a shouty, obnoxious boss. I do like that this team is more low key and not melodramatic. I enjoy that. 3 Link to comment
AnnA January 23, 2022 Share January 23, 2022 I was surprised to read the news about Julian McMahon tonight. It's odd for a lead to leave a show mid-season. It has to be a nice paycheck. They'll have to replace him quickly if he's leaving after next week's filming. I don't suppose we'll see new episodes until after the Olympics but I'm hoping we'll find out who will take his place soon. 1 Link to comment
mythoughtis January 23, 2022 Share January 23, 2022 So we’ve lost Clinton, Clinton’s parents, Jess’s daughter. Crosby, now we lose Jess, and we lose the following( not that I care about these): his girlfriend, his sister, his dad, and his step-mom. That’s a lot of actors affected by his decision 2 Link to comment
rr2911 January 23, 2022 Share January 23, 2022 Yeah, too bad Julian is leaving. He really is what makes this show go! Given the direction today's shows seem to be going, I'd say we'll see a minority character be introduced. Link to comment
LisaM January 23, 2022 Share January 23, 2022 I was shocked when I saw this news. There have been a lot of departures from this show - unusual for a hit. My first thought was that they dispatched Tali to boarding school just in time. 1 Link to comment

But if the Law & Order franchise and NCIS franchise can survive cast changes, the FBI franchise should be fine. I agree. Having watched Nip/Tuck it actually took me a minute to get used to him in this role. He is a good actor, he pulled it off, but I don't see a problem replacing him, essentially. The fact that he hasn't had the role that long actually helps. Honestly, I was getting a bit tired of all the personal life stuff in both this and the original FBI and I completely stopped watching Law and Order SVU because of the heavy concentration on their personal lives. There was very little of that In L & O. Sure, Lenny might mention ex wives but, thankfully, we didn't have to meet them. It has to also makes transitions like this easier.

I think there is something else going on behind the scenes that's making these actors leave so abruptly. Granted, it's been difficult filming during COVID and has put a strain on actors lives but for so many to quit seems unusual...especially for the lead character to leave in the middle of the season. It will be interesting to see who they get to replace Julian McMahon. Dick Wolf likes to recycle actors from previous Law and Order franchises. Anyway, it's too bad...I liked him and thought he did a decent job in the role. 1 Link to comment

I wish him luck. 100% agree — grew so sick of him on the other show which I have actually stopped watching. But I’ve enjoyed him in most other roles so I’ll be optimistic on FBI:MW. We shall see. With Julian leaving, that wipes out in one swoop several of the problems the show had: his annoying daughter and girlfriend stories, the disappearance of his in-laws (Clinton + the parents).

Maren January 25, 2022 Share January 25, 2022 Aw man :-( I haven't liked Spoiler Him since "The Practice." This is a bummer. Hate this casting. And sadly, he can be very loud and melodramatic, so there goes the team dynamic. This was my fave of the 3 but really not looking forward to Dylan coming in. 1 Link to comment

I don't have a strong opinion about Julian McMahon leaving the show but it will initially be difficult for me to see his replacement as different from the character he currently plays on the other show. However, if it means his story on the other show will end, then I'll be glad! On another topic, does anybody find it really really odd that Hana and Ortiz are roommates? They already spend a ton of time together at work and now they're roommates who also hang out? That would drive me crazy to be around a coworker that much. They might as well be married!!!! Does Hana really know no one else that she can room with? Or do they really get paid so little that she can't get by without a roommate? You'd think she'd be a great roommate to have (for someone with a regular job) since she's out of town so much! Just really lame. 2 Link to comment

threebluestars February 2, 2022 Share February 2, 2022 Totally agree with the poster who said it feels like something big is going on behind the scenes for this many actors to jump ship. Today's episode I finally warmed up to Gaines's character. Alexa Davalos has been playing her so flat and monotone and boring that I've been bored, but at least now we see why she is the way she is. I just hope this leads to a bit of change in the character. I really liked the US Marshal (?) character that was riding with her. Bring her on! 4 Link to comment

Long seasons and covid restrictions are probably wearing actors down at this point. Young actors with no money will put up with it, older actors with quite a body or work and $$$ will not. I figure some actors are just going to wait out covid and the crazy on set rules and then jump back in or just do short seasons on steaming. Link to comment

Attatude February 16, 2022 Share February 16, 2022 The replacement for Jess is disappointing. I’ve seen too much of him in the last year. I binge watched one of his old series. I’m over this show. There are good reasons why it’s not doing so well. I think they all left because the subject matter gets to them after a while. 1 Link to comment

Most of the shows he's been cast in as a lead haven't lasted a whole season. For American Horror Story he was only going to be in one season of that anyway. I will say he was kind of ok in the short lived FOX sitcom from a few years ago LA to Vegas where he played a captain you wouldn't want piloting a plane you were traveling on.
