Meanwhile, "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3 is going to see some exciting changes, and one of the major ones is the role of the newcomer Vanessa Ferlito, who plays FBI Special Agent Tammy Gregorio. Agent Tammy was sent from Washington, D.C., to investigate the issue related to Homeland Security Agent John Russo (Ivan Sergei) being a mole.

Executive producer Christopher Silber told Parade.com, "At first she's rivals with our team, but she becomes part of the team, temporarily at least, and she's bringing a new energy to the show that we're really excited about." Creator Gary Glasberg also noted the kind of energy that Ferlito brings that would make the team more dynamic.

Aside from Vanessa Ferlito's casting in "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3, Christopher Silber also dished that they are beginning to showcase each episode as a little movie itself, starting off with the episode dealing with a sniper on they had to catch. Silber also said they are trying to expand in some ways that would bring more fun and humor to the show.
