Tom Ellis, best known for his role as Lucifer Morningstar, will lead FBI: CIA, a new spin-off in the FBI universe. This upcoming CBS drama will follow the intense collaboration—and likely clash—between a brash CIA agent (Ellis) and a by-the-book FBI partner as they tackle overlapping threats to national security.
This casting choice adds star power and international appeal to the series. The dynamic between the two lead agents is expected to bring a more serialized and character-focused structure, possibly diverging from the case-of-the-week format. Ellis’s involvement hints at a tonal shift—balancing procedural drama with character-driven storytelling.
