NCIS: New Orleans adds a new cast member to its Naval investigative team when the series returns this fall on CBS.
Former Graceland star Vanessa Ferlito, who played an FBI Agent on the USA Network series, will also play an FBI agent on the CBS series, TVLine reports.
The character is described by the TV website as: A sexy, tough and acerbic FBI Special Agent who is sent down to New Orleans from D.C. to investigate the NCIS team. A by-the-book bureaucrat, she’ll bring a completely different way of doing things — as well as a mysterious past — to New Orleans, which will put her at odds with both the team and the town.
“We’re beyond excited to have Vanessa join our show and are look forward to adding her distinctive personality and edge to our amazing NCIS: New Orleans cast,” said executive producer Brad Kern in a statement to TVLine.
NCIS: New Orleans, starring Scott Bakula, Lucas Black, Zoe McLellan and CCH Pounder, returns for its third season on Tuesday, Sept. 20 on CBS in its new 10 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.
