Deadline is reporting that Forever alum Alana de la Garza has joined the backdoor pilot for FBI spinoff FBI: Most Wanted. She’ll be playing Assistant Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castile, a polished West Point graduate coming off a stint in Silicon Valley who is now working as Fugitive Squad Supervisor.
From series creator Dick Wolf and Law & Order executive producer Rene Balcer, FBI: Most Wanted will follow the division of the FBI tasked with tracking and capturing the notorious criminals on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Wolf is said to have at least three FBI series in mind for his latest television franchise.
In addition to her role on the ABC procedural, de la Garza has appeared on the likes of Law & Order, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, and Scorpion. She’s the second person cast at FBI: Most Wanted following Runaways actor Julian McMahon.
Set to air as an episode of the mothership series this spring, FBI: Most Wanted is one of eight drama pilots ordered by CBS thus far. It joins legal drama Courthouse; X-Files-esque Evil; Frankenstein, a procedural about a homicide detective brought back to life after being killed in the line of duty; female Chief of Police drama Nancy; Republic of Sarah, centering on a small New Hampshire town that attempts to become its own independent nation; NSA drama Surveillance, which stars Sophia Bush; and medical drama Under the Bridge.
