FBI: International fans were furious when Christiane Paul, the actress who played Europol agent Katrin Jaeger, left the show after less than a season in the role. London Files actress Eva-Jane Willis took over Christian’s title and responsibilities as agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson in the second season of the CBS show.

Eva-Jane Willis on FBI: International
Before Christiane Paul left FBI: International, her character, Katrin Jaeger, was promoted in the season finale “Crestfallen” and will no longer be working with The Fly Team. While Jaeger left because it was written into the show’s script, the reason for Christiane’s departure remains unknown as of this writing.
Jaeger’s departure from The Fly Team means a new Europol agent will join the team. Before the show’s Season 2 premiere, it was announced that Eva-Jane Willis would be joining FBI: International as agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson, taking over from Christiane.

She also considers Jaeger to be her personal hero.
