Lisette Olivera is joining the Bureau.
The 25-year-old Mexican American actress has landed a series regular role on CBS‘ popular police procedural FBI.
Olivera will reportedly be playing Syd, a trained Behavioral Analysis Unit Agent who is about to rotate into the field.
Wrapping up its sixth season in May, FBI follows the inner workings of the New York field office criminal division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as they fight to keep New York City and the country safe.

Produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with CBS Studios, the show’s executive producers include Dick Wolf, Mike Weiss, Alex Chapple, Amanda Slater, Rick Eid and Peter Jankowski.
FBI received a three-season renewal in April, which will take the show through Season 9. It returns for Season 7 on October 15.
In the vein of Wolf’s Law & Order and Chicago franchises, the show has also over the years led to popular spin-offs including FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, which continue to air.
Olivera is coming off of her first major TV role in National Treasure: Edge of History, an expansion of the National Treasure film franchise executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Disney+.
