Who’s joining FBI in Season 7?
Although the cast of FBI Season 7 has not officially been confirmed, CBS has announced a new addition who could have a major impact on the crime drama. The day after the Season 6 finale, news broke that Mike Weiss has been hired as FBI’s new executive producer and showrunner. The TV veteran is replacing longtime showrunner Rick Eid, who stepped down in May. Eid had been with the show since it debuted in 2018 and is leaving to focus on Law & Order, which he also serves as the showrunner on. “After six years of running two, or more, shows, and CBS now picking up FBI for three more years, this was the perfect time for me to step back and focus my efforts on running Law & Order and developing new projects,” Eid said in a statement at the time. “I’m extremely proud of FBI, and couldn’t be happier for the cast, crew and producers. While I will no longer be the day-to-day showrunner, I intend to remain involved with the show going forward.”
Weiss is no stranger to the Dick Wolf universe, having previously served as a writer and co-executive producer on Season 3 and 4 of NBC’s Chicago P.D. His other credits include The Mentalist, Code Black, Stumptown and In Plain Sight. Most recently, Weiss co-created, executive produced and served as the co-showrunner on the Hulu mystery series Death and Other Details.
