In a major shake-up of its primetime lineup, CBS has announced it will renew the flagship FBI series through Season 9. However, fans were surprised to learn that spin-offs FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International will not continue past their current seasons. The network is re-strategizing its crime drama portfolio, possibly due to budget shifts and audience analytics, favoring a stronger focus on the original show that started it all.
CBS’s decision signals confidence in the longevity of the FBI brand, especially as it plans to launch a new spin-off, FBI: CIA, that promises a fresh blend of inter-agency drama and high-stakes espionage.
