Actress Emily Alabi is set to reprise her role as Special Agent Dani Rhodes in CBS’s FBI for its upcoming eighth season. Alabi’s character was introduced in Season 7 as a temporary partner to Special Agent Stuart Scola following the departure of Tiffany Wallace. While initially expected to become a series regular, Alabi’s return in Season 8 will be in a recurring capacity to conclude Dani’s storyline.
Dani Rhodes made her debut in the Season 7 episode titled “Covered,” where she assisted the team in uncovering a security breach that compromised multiple undercover agents. Her expertise and quick thinking proved valuable, earning her a temporary spot on the team.
Alabi’s portrayal of Dani Rhodes has been well-received by fans and critics alike, with many expressing interest in seeing her character become a permanent fixture on the team. However, with the introduction of Juliana Aidén Martinez as a new series regular in Season 8, it appears the search for a permanent partner for Scola continues.
As FBI moves forward with its eighth season, fans can look forward to the resolution of Dani Rhodes’ arc and the potential for new dynamics within the team. The series continues to deliver compelling storylines and complex characters, keeping audiences engaged week after week.
FBI Season 8 is set to premiere on October 13, 2025, at 9/8c on CBS.
