MacGyver isn’t wasting any time replacing George Eads’ recently departed Jack Dalton.
Tran will make her debut in the Feb. 15 episode as Desiree Nguyen (aka Desi), who joins the Phoenix Foundation to protect MacGyver and his team on their global missions.
His final episode aired on Feb. 1, when Jack bid the team adieu to embark on a top-secret mission.
As previously reported, Eads stormed off the series’ Atlanta set in October following an unspecified altercation during production of an episode.
