Rumors circulating online and ongoing premise have made fans think that Maggie Bell, portrayed by Missy Peregrym, is leaving FBI. Introduced in 2018, she is a special agent working for the NYC field office in the series. Additionally, she is also a guardian to Ella, the child of her late best friend, Jessica Blake. Here are details on whether the rumors about Peregrym departing FBI hold any truth.
Is Missy Peregrym’s Maggie leaving FBI?
No confirmed reports suggest Peregrym’s departure as Maggie from FBI.
The rumors about Peregrym’s exit initially circulated when she remained absent from the show for a brief period. Many assumed that she had likely left the show but later it was reportedly discovered that she took a temporary break for personal reasons. But, she was eventually back on the show, resuming her storyline. Moreover, neither CBS nor showrunners have confirmed rumors related to Peregrym’s departure. So, it seems the rumors were merely speculations.
Additionally, the ongoing premise of Season 7 has also left many thinking about a possibility that could lead to her leaving the FBI. In Episode 6, Maggie remains concerned about Ella due to the former’s dangerous job. So, she plans to give her up despite aspiring to embrace motherhood previously. With her concerns for Ella’s safety, she might send her to her uncle.
However, fans believe that though she thinks sending Ella away would be the best decision, her instincts as a mother would emerge in the future. This could lead to her potentially leaving her risky job and giving her full attention to Ella’s upbringing. Quitting her job will also enable her to not be excessively concerned about her adopted daughter.
Nevertheless, this is just a speculated possibility that the series might or might not explore in the future. However, for now, Maggie will continue to remain on the team, risking her life for the city’s safety.
