Fans of the series expressed “shock” and described Kane’s exit as “soul crushing” Monday night on X (formerly Twitter).
“I’m in shock. I can’t believe my favorite partnership is over. Tiff has grown so much (wish we got to learn more!) and her focus episodes are amongst the best. Katherine Renee Kane has been such a masterclass of acting these past few seasons so she will be missed. #FBICBS,” social media user @TiffNScola wrote.
“Losing Tiffany Wallace is soul crushing. Being able to watch her growth from season 3 to now has been so special, and she’s a character. I love [her] deeply. I hope wherever Katherine Renee Kane ends up, she’s surrounded by happiness and amazing opportunities. #FBICBS,” added @ameliaszillace.
“I’m in tears as I type, but thank you Katherine for bringing Tiffany Wallace to life every Tues. night since 2020. Seeing someone who looks like me, in her natural hair, strong, confident, kind, and funny… it means SO so much, and always will. Forever my fave #FBICBS character,” wrote @tiffzidan.
Kane joined the police procedural in 2020, following the exit of actress Ebonée Noel.
Before joining the hit series, Kane appeared in the 2018 film short The Bag and the 2017 film Live a Little.

The series premiered on CBS in 2018 and also stars Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, Jeremy Sisto, Alana de la Garza, John Boyd, Vedette Lim, and Taylor Anthony Miller.
FBI returns for its seventh season on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 8/7c on CBS.
