FBI‘s Maggie will be back from medical leave in the episode that will air on Tuesday, Nov. 15 (CBS, 8/7c), TVLine has learned.
Series star Missy Peregrym and husband Tom Oakley welcomed their second child, daughter Mela Joséphine Oakley, on June 6. In an Instagram post in July, she announced that she’d return to playing Special Agent Maggie Bell after her maternity leave ended in September.
Meanwhile, Peregrym’s alter ego was injured on the job during Episode 18 of Season 4, which allowed for the actress’ real-life hiatus.
The Nov. 15 episode’s official synopsis indicates that Maggie will return just in time to help her team look into two murders: one of a law student planning to attend Quantico and another of a young man with possible gang ties. But when Maggie accidentally reveals a little too much to OA, he worries that she’s come back to the job more quickly than she should have.
(In related news, FBI fans: Make sure you don’t miss an upcoming episode that will air on a Sunday. You just might get a sense for Nina’s future with the team….)

Good news! Missed Missy. Glad she is coming back. Love everyone in this show. A great cast.
I like her she does a great job I miss her
I really like the girl taking Missys place. I wish they could keep her on somehow.
I agree, but they really need to lose Maggie! The replacement is a much better and believeable actress.
Me too while I liked Missy on Rookie Blue I don’t find her role on FBI interesting at all, I think the new character has better chemistry (not talking romantic) with OA.
I am so glad Missy is coming back,the show wasn’t the same without her!
I don’t know think Missy is much better. The replacement I think was on Law and Order as a detctective if I am not mistaken. I still think Missy is much better Irony is that I didn’t like so much the Rookie Cop show. Either that I never like Roookie cop show.
I agree! Wish they would add her to the cast!
Missy is sooooo much better than her replacement We haven’t been watching since she left because the replacement just left an odd feeling. Can hardly wait to tune in and watch a great team at work! So glad she’s back. Thanks
As long as they are getting rid of the blonde YES! The blonde who has ” filled in” for her is a terrible actress!
I miss in fbi can’t wait to back
My wish too. i like her. She filled in for Missy wonderfully. She did a great job.
I’m so glad she’s coming back. I really liked her character but then everybody on the show is great. Welcome back.
I agree, Debbie
So glad she will be back! Her and OA are great together.
Finally! I’ve missed Maggie.
Me too.
Does this mean Shantel VanSanten is leaving?

One can only HOPE the blonde will go. She is one of the worst actresses I have seen in a while!
Yes, I am very glad Maggie is coming back. I loved her chemistry with OA
I have been anxiously awaiting Maggie’s return to FBI !!!!! She brings a ‘down-to-earth’ perspective to the assignments – and I thoroughly enjoy the interaction between Maggie and OA! Can’t wait for her return!
Yes, I agree, Mary-Ann.
So glad she’s coming back. I’ve loved her since her role in Rookie Blue, a favourite Canadian TV show.
I agree. Loved her in Rookie Blue and all other shows.
So happy to have her back. Program not the same without her.
I can’t wait for her return. The whole crew is a great team and now it will be back.
Yes I am glad that she will be back. I miss her
So excited for Maggie’s return, the show has not been the same without her!
I am glad she is finally returning. There was a chemistry between her and OA> They played off each other really well. I did not like her replacement.
Really glad Maggie is back.
I actually prefer Nina (Shantel VanSanten) over Maggie. No disrespect to Missy, but Maggie is a bit stiff most of the time.
I feel the same. I like Missy but I can’t stand Maggie, honestly, she borders on being a Mary-Sue and it’s incredibly irritating. I haven’t missed the character at all.
Agreed … Lose Maggie!
Exactly I don’t find Maggie has any real warmth to her. She was great as Andi on Rookie Blue.
Hi Bellaz,
I believe Maggie is playing the part well, since the character lost her husband in the show – it is part of the role. She will (I believe) be showing more warmth as the show progresses – according to the story line. She almost died to from breathing in the toxins – so have to consider that too.
I agree, I prefer Nina/Shantel also.
I can’t wait for Maggie’s return. While the series is still good it’s better with Maggie.
She plays Maggie so well. You get the feeling that she really gets her head wrapped around her character. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes glad to see Maggie back. Can’t wait.
Yeeeeesssss Maggie is back. Can’t wait 👏👏👏🫶🫶🫶🫶
Great on the return but you need to keep Shantel on as Nina. We like her character.
I have missed her! I always wondered why she left the show. I like how she interacts with OA. Welcome back!
I would prefer she not return. Shantal VanSusten is much better in the role.
Oh how much I missed her.
I’m glad she’s back because the other girl just didn’t cut it!
So glad to see her coming back. She’s one great actress. Love watching her on everything she’s been on. Congrats on your new baby.
Yes. I agree she is a great actress. I bet her baby is precious. Congrats from me too.
I love Missy and am so glad she is coming back! It has been tough to watch without her human side. I think there is a softer side that she portrays that a lot of people don’t think police and FBI have. Which just isn’t true. I worked with police all my career and watched them cry many times over things they saw.
Series are never the same when one of the team isn’t there,cant wait to have Maggie back
