Following the cancellation of both FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, CBS has relocated FBI to its Monday 9/8c primetime slot, with the upcoming Season 8 scheduled to premiere fall 2025 .
This strategic shift, from the long-standing “All‑FBI Tuesdays” block, marks a significant realignment of the Dick Wolf crime universe on CBS. FBI now opens the evening on Monday nights—paired with the brand-new FBI: CIA spinoff (see article #3)—offering a fresh start for viewers and a stronger lead-in from CBS’s high-rating comedies.
Key details:
-
FBI Season 8 expected to return in September 2025.
-
Episodes remain one-hour procedural format, spun around fictional FBI cases with serialized character arcs.
-
Monday night block intended to boost viewership metrics across the network.
