Inside Line: Scoop on The Flash, CSI, FBI: International, Nancy Drew, Chicago Fire, NCIS: Hawai’i, Vampirina and More
Will FBI: International’s fall finale be a bit ruff? Which Chicago Fire twosome is reuniting? What does the future bring on The Flash? Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows. (Email any brand-new Qs to InsideLine@tvline.com.)
What can you tell me about Tank, the beautiful protection dog on FBI: International? –Jazzcatjt
It sounds like there might be some major doggo drama in this Tuesday’s episode, the last of 2021. “I love winter finales, and I alway try to throw some haymakers at the audience,” EP Derek Haas told me. “And there might be a Tank haymaker coming.”
As has been pointed out elsewhere, The Flash‘s Caitlin and Killer Frost seem to have missed the party in the future. What’s up with that? –Butch
Oh, trust me, Frost is at that 2031 party. She’s just… busy. Bonus scoops from “Armageddon” Part 4’s very entertaining pre-wedding soiree: One familiar face has been living in London for a while, while another is a bit frazzled by baby talk….
As a fan of the Drew Crew, I’m wondering if you have any clues on this season of Nancy Drew — such as a lead on the serial frozen hearts killer(s), or the ever so slow burn that is Nancy and Ace’s hopeful romance? –Alie
Here is a clue: stay tuned for major revelations before the holidays about the identity of the Frozen Hearts Killer. (Oh, and for those of you holding your breath about Nancy and Ace, you’ll want to keep watching as well….)
It’s been quite a while since we heard anything about Season 2 of Upload. Is there any news on when it will return? –Brian
Looks like it may be a while longer for you, Brian — there are still no updates on the Prime Video series.
Anything on CSI: Vegas? Has it been renewed, or is Wednesday it forever? –Jeri
You’d better hope it gets renewed, given the tantalizing tease for longtime fans at the very end of Wednesday’s finale.
Will Chicago Fire‘s Brett be visiting her baby sister Amelia this season? –Sarah
“We are definitely going to see her hang out with her kid sister, if the writing staff has its way,” showrunner Derek Haas told me earlier this fall. The only hold-up has been that fact that Amelia is only about two years old, and there’s a pandemic going on. “The question becomes, how young we can have people on set?” says Haas. “So we’re working through that, because we do want to see her this year.” Update, as we went to press: “Yes, Brett will reunite with sister Amelia and her father this season,” says Haas, “and very soon.”
Anything on Hawkeye? –Greg
Only that Episode 5, I hear, should blow up Twitter a bit.
Do you have any scoop on NCIS: Hawai’i‘s Lucy and Whistler? Will the rest of the team find out about their relationship this season? — Jennifer
I brought your Q to EP Christopher Silber, who teased, “We have ALL the scoop on Lucy and Whistler, and can’t wait to share the twists and turns of their very satisfying relationship. As for the team finding out… they will, indeed.”
Every DC Universe show has made its way over to HBO Max except one. Will Swamp Thing ever make the jump? –Nick
There are no plans at this time for Swamp Thing to branch out to WarnerMedia’s main streaming service.
Will the seventh episode of this season’s The Blacklist (airing Jan. 6) be the previously mentioned Red/Dembe spotlight episode? It is called “Between Sleep and Awake,” and doesn’t have a Blacklister number. –Jan
Good sleuthing. But nope, that’s a different episode.
Disney is especially quiet on series endings lately. Can you confirm the statuses of Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, Just Roll With It, Bunk’d, and Disney Fam Jam? –Scott
Tall order, Scott! But only because this is the Happiest Column on Earth…. Fancy Nancy Season 3 premiered only weeks ago. Vampirina‘s three-season Disney Junior run ended back in June (and all episodes are now streaming on Disney+); similarly, Disney Channel’s Just Roll With It ended after two seasons in May. And Disney Channel’s Disney Fam Jam was just a one-season dance competition. Lastly, the fate of the Jessie offshoot Bunk’d is TBA.
When may we expect some info on Resident Alien Season 2? –David
“We’ll find out more about what General McCallister is after, why she’s doing what she’s doing and why she wants an alien,” says series creator Chris Sheridan. And as for Terry O’Quinn’s alien-tracking Peter Bach, he’ll re-enter the series in the new season’s back half: “We’re going to lean into Deputy Liv’s (Elizabeth Bowen) fascination for aliens, and she will be listening to the alien tracker’s podcast.”
It’s almost the one year anniversary of my favorite Amazon Prime show, The Wilds! Any info on when we can expect a return? – Marissa
I asked around, and filming has wrapped on Season 2, putting the show on track for a 2022 premiere (though probably no sooner than spring).

Speaking of dogs how about the replacement of the dog on Seal TEAM??
Snoop Dog?
I have a question. Will there come a time when I can watch Yellowstone on Paramount Plus? I was able to watch the premier on Para Plus then they moved it to regular Para and Peacock. I can’t afford extra streaming now. thank you!!
I don’t even watch FBI International but I hope they don’t kill the fictional dog. That always sucks.
For the one asking about “Upload” they did wrap filming as I follow Robbie on social media and he posted about it months ago. So hopefully won’t be too much longer once editing is done.
… and uploading.
Robbie recently did an interview with Victor Lucas/EPN and he said he thought season 2 would be coming out in February and it has 7 episodes.
Great! Thanks for the update!
Great news!
Ahh, a Nancy Drew question! Yay! We got huge revelations about FHK in Friday’s ep and now I’m wondering if we’re getting even MORE next week?? Bombshells all over the place wow
As someone who is definitely holding their breath about Nancy and Ace, bless you guys for that last hint
If they do anything bad to Tank, I will stop watching. I LOVE that dog.
I’m right there with you!!
Tank is seriously underused in FBI International. When you live in Canada and get to watch the amazing German Shepherd used in so many ways as a main character on Hudson & Rex, it is disappointing to see the dog, a working member of the FBI team, being so underutilized. And if the episode that finally features him does him any harm, that makes it twice as bad.
They need Sherri Davis, the Dog Master on Hudson and Rex to work on their show too!
I don’t appreciate the cavalier attitude in dispensing with animals in films/TV shows (side eyeing Chucky).
If we are lucky Yelena kills Clint in this next episode of Hawkeye… I’m (mostly) joking
Why?!
Disney confirmed that Fancy Nancy season 3 was its last season and then dropped it all at once on the Disney Now app but its airing weekly on TV. My daughter will be so sad its not coming back, she already watched all of season 3 in a couple days.
So you’re “not” saying that Vincent D’Onofrio is going to pop up in Hawkeye episode 5, right?
I hope the dog Tank in F.B.I. International isn’t killed off or subjected to some horrible torture.
I hate that CSI: Vegas is gonna leave us with a cliffhanger, but I also understand why. If we do get a season 2, it better be with Billy and Jorja back. No way can it survive without them. Ugh, I’m sad it’s already over 😭
I guess it’s not one stop shopping, but couldn’t Nick just stream Swamp Thing on CW/CW Seed or whatever for free? Or is that only if you have a cable/satellite subscription?
There’s nothing satisfying about the Lucy/Whistler relationship on NCIS: Hawai’i. They have no chemistry. Worse than that, Lucy comes off as a near-stalker half the time. I don’t know if that’s intentional or just bad acting.
Yawn. ND is testing my patience with Nace. This series has no more than one or two seasons left in it. The “Will They or Won’t They” needs to pick a side. Either they will or they won’t. Period.
do you know if NCIS and NCIS LA are ending after season 19 (NCIS) and 13 (NCIS LA)

Disney is not the only one who is quiet on show statuses. For Nickelodeon, can you give us an update on the Untitled Simon Fuller and Ryan Tedder musical series, Adventures in Wonder Park, Man of the House, and Meet the Voxels?
