Since its debut in 2018, CBS’s FBI has quickly become one of the network’s most popular procedural dramas. Created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk, the series offers a gripping look into the high-stakes world of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, combining suspense, action, and character-driven storytelling.
👮♂️ A Focus on Realism and Teamwork
What sets FBI apart is its commitment to authenticity. The show’s writers consult with actual FBI agents to accurately depict investigative techniques, technology, and protocol. The series centers on the New York Field Office’s elite team tasked with preventing terrorist attacks, solving major crimes, and protecting national security.
The ensemble cast, led by Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell and Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, portrays a diverse team that works seamlessly together under intense pressure.
🎭 Strong Character Development
Unlike many procedurals, FBI delves into the personal lives of its agents, exploring their motivations, challenges, and relationships. This balance of professional and personal drama helps the audience connect deeply with the characters.
📈 Critical Acclaim and Ratings Success
The show has been praised for its sharp writing and thrilling plots, consistently ranking high in ratings for CBS. It has also spawned two spinoffs, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, expanding the franchise’s footprint.
