“Over the past few months, the producers of FBI: Most Wanted and I have had discussions about my departure from the show in favor of additional creative pursuits and the transition of my character Jess LaCroix,” McMahon said in a statement. “These ongoing conversations have given us an opportunity to orchestrate a seamless and productive way for me to leave the show.”

McMahon has starred as team leader Jess LaCroix since Most Wanted debuted as a spinoff of FBI in January 2020. The actor reportedly approached the producers about his desire to leave the series earlier this season.

“I would like to express the gratitude and admiration I have had working with Dick Wolf and Peter Jankowski,” he added. “I’m extremely proud of the work we have done together and put the development of this show, and my character Jess, at the top of my professional experience list. I wish the show, and its cast & crew, the greatest success in the future. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play Jess; he is a good man.”

McMahon’s final episode is scheduled to shoot next week and is set to air on Tuesday, March 8. The episode is expected to introduce a new team leader to fill the void left by LaCroix’s departure.

“We are saddened to see Julian leave,” producer Dick Wolf said in a statement. “His portrayal of agent Jess LaCroix has been a key factor in the success of FBI: Most Wanted. We will miss him and we wish him the best in his next chapter.”

McMahon is the second major cast member to exit FBI: Most Wanted this season. Kellan Lutz, who played Special Agent Kenny Crosby, left the show after the Season 3 premiere, which saw Crosby suffer a gunshot wound and return home to Oklahoma.

    Vertical Farm Feeds Cincinnati Zoo's Giraffes And Manatees. Giraffes and manatees at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden are helping save the planet by consuming fresh vegetables grown on-site in an onsite ‘vertical farm’. The Zoo’s new container farming system will produce hundreds of pounds of produce each week that will be fed to animals as soon as it’s harvested. Cincinnati Zoo’s vice president of facilities and sustainability, Mark Fisher said: “This gives us a year-round, sustainable source of high-quality food that we can pick and serve immediately.” Other environmental benefits include a reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from crop cultivation, fertilizer application, and manure management associated with traditional farming. The hydroponic farming method uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to grow plants, so fertiliser and pesticides are not necessary.

  • Volkswagen holds keys to Porsche's race against Ferrari

    Porsche AG's ability to close a hefty valuation discount to top rival Ferrari could hinge on whether its main owner, Volkswagen, is prepared to take a step back, giving the German sports car maker more freedom to cut costs and shape its future. The maker of the iconic 911 has started the seventh quarter since its listing with a discount to Ferrari on a price-to-earnings (PE) basis just off a record 69%, disappointing hopes it could command a luxury-like valuation. 2024 is shaping up to be a transition year, as Porsche AG launches several new models, keeping a lid on margins ahead of a more promising 2025 for the company that is 75.4% owned by Volkswagen.
