he hit CBS procedural drama FBI is set to continue its successful run with Season 7 in 2025. However, the show’s spin-offs, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted, both recently concluded their respective runs, with FBI: International ending after Season 4 and FBI: Most Wanted wrapping up after Season 6.
Despite these spin-offs being canceled, FBI itself shows no signs of slowing down. Season 7 is still going strong, with new episodes airing on Tuesdays. The latest episode, titled “Covered,” aired on April 1, 2025, continuing the high-stakes investigations of the New York-based FBI team. The series, which has captivated audiences for its fast-paced action and complex characters, remains a fan favorite, drawing significant viewership each week.
However, the cancellation of FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted has left fans of the FBI franchise questioning the future of the show’s expanding universe. These spin-offs, while well-received, struggled to maintain the momentum of the original series. FBI: International, which followed agents stationed around the world as part of the FBI’s international branch, and FBI: Most Wanted, which focused on tracking down the FBI’s most dangerous fugitives, both had strong fanbases but ultimately couldn’t sustain the same level of success as FBI.
In a surprising move, CBS announced that a new spin-off, FBI: CIA, is currently in development. Set to premiere in the 2025-2026 broadcast season, the new series will star Lucifer’s Tom Ellis as a CIA officer with a free-spirited approach to intelligence work. His character will team up with a by-the-book FBI agent to tackle domestic threats, setting up the potential for thrilling cross-agency investigations. This move has left fans excited about the future direction of the FBI franchise and the possibility of new characters and storylines being added to the mix.
While the spin-offs may have ended, FBI’s loyal fanbase continues to support the original series, and with new projects in the works, it seems the franchise is far from over. With the continuing success of FBI Season 7 and the anticipation surrounding FBI: CIA, the franchise looks set to maintain its grip on audiences for years to come.
