CBS has renewed FBI and FBI: Most Wanted for season 4 and season 3, respectively. The network also announced a new spinoff, FBI: International, which will debut in a crossover event with the other shows. In addition, CBS is reportedly working on a new NCIS spinoff set in Hawaii.


Big news for FBI fans. CBS has announced a season 4 renewal for the popular crime drama. Spinoff series FBI: Most Wanted will also return for a third season. Plus, a third show will be added to the FBI franchise: FBI: International.
FBI: International is the latest show from Law & Order creator and executive producer Dick Wolf, who called the upcoming spinoff “a powerful new drama.” CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl, described it as “intriguing and distinct” and said that it “perfectly complements its compelling siblings.”
“CBS has been a great creative partner, and they understand the value of the growing FBI brand,” Wolf added, in a statement. “The show runners, writers, producers, cast, crew and everyone on our team have delivered exciting and creative shows that clearly resonate with viewers.”

A premiere date for the new FBI TV series has not been announced. However, we do know it will debut as part of a crossover episode with FBI and FBI: Most Wanted. The show will follow elite agents in the FBI’s international division as they criss-cross the globe to protect Americans, wherever they are.

No cast has been announced. Dick Wolf, Derek Haas, Rick Eid, Peter Jankowski and Arthur Forney will executive produce the series from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television.
On Twitter, many fans of the original two shows expressed excitement about the upcoming spinoff and the international focus of the show. News of the show doesn’t come as a complete surpriser. Last year, Kahl told Deadline that a second spinoff was a possibility.
