Two FBI franchise series spin-offs have been canceled, much to the devastation of the show’s fanbase.
FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International are set to end after six seasons and four seasons respectively, and the news has sparked confusion among viewers, given how both shows have had commercial success.
However, the move to end the two programs is reported due to cost-cutting measures from the CBS network.
FBI: Most Wanted first aired back in 2020, followed by FBI: International in 2021.
Lead cast members from these shows include Most Wanted’s Dylan McDermott and Shantel VanSanten and International’s Jesse Lee Soffer, who were previously on the main FBI show.
While they won’t be returning for another reason of their respective series, there’s a chance we could see their characters return to the main show, as characters have previously moved around the franchise.
Fan speculation has suggested the decision was related to the network making way for the upcoming spin-off FBI: CIA.
Upset viewers have taken to social media to express their disappointment at the news and urge other TV networks and streaming services to pick up the shows.
“NBC, peacock, someone please pick up fbi inter and most wanted PLEASE,” one person posted.
