CBS has officially renewed the flagship drama FBI for three additional seasons, a strong vote of confidence in the franchise’s performance and longevity. This multi-season renewal guarantees the show’s presence on the network through at least the 2026–2027 television season.
In addition, the two spinoff series — FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International — were each renewed for one more season, allowing them to return for the 2024–2025 lineup.
📺 Renewal Breakdown
-
FBI (Main Series): Renewed for Seasons 7, 8, and 9
-
FBI: Most Wanted: Renewed for Season 6
-
FBI: International: Renewed for Season 4
All three shows are produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, in association with CBS Studios.
📊 Why the Renewal?
The FBI franchise has become a powerhouse for CBS, especially with its “All-FBI Tuesday” primetime block. The main FBI series is consistently one of the top-rated scripted dramas on television, drawing around 9 million live viewers per episode. The spinoffs each bring in over 7 million live viewers, maintaining a strong hold on network television audiences.
CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach praised the creative teams and credited executive producer Dick Wolf for building a franchise that continues to deliver compelling, timely storytelling.
🔄 Future Shakeups
Despite the initial renewal for the 2024–2025 season, CBS later announced that FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International would both end after their upcoming seasons. The move, reportedly driven by budgetary concerns and evolving strategic priorities, surprised many fans given the spinoffs’ continued strong ratings.
In their place, CBS is planning a new series titled FBI: CIA, which will explore the collaboration between an FBI special agent and a CIA operative. The show is set to debut in fall 2025, and is expected to carry the tone and intensity fans have come to expect from the franchise — with an international and national security twist.
📺 Viewing Access
All current and upcoming seasons of the FBI franchise will continue to be available for streaming on Paramount+, giving fans a central hub to rewatch past episodes and keep up with new storylines.
