FBI franchise renewed by CBS with new spinoff coming soon

Dick Wolf is continuing his FBI franchise on CBS, and the franchise will be expanding to a third show—making it just as big as his One Chicago empire that’s become a cornerstone of NBC.

CBS has confirmed that both the original series and spinoff FBI: Most Wanted will be coming back next season, while they’re adding another show to the lineup.

Here’s everything that was announced on Wednesday (ironically the day One Chicago would be airing, except it’s in reruns this week).

FBI renewed for season 4

FBI season 4 will be happening at CBS as the show continues to be one of the top ratings performers for the network. The third season returns on April 6, after the conclusion of the NCAA tournament.

This season saw Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) embark on an ill-fated romance with another agent played by Chicago PD alum Josh Segarra. Original cast member Ebonee Noel did not return as agent Kristen Chazal for season 3 and was replaced in the main cast by Katherine Renee Turner as new arrival Tiffany Wallace.

FBI: Most Wanted renewed for season 3

FBI: Most Wanted season 3 will also be going forward. The Julian McMahon-led spinoff has also been a strong performer, pairing with its parent series and NCIS on Tuesday nights to create a trio of crime shows.

The second season likewise resumes on April 6 with the episode “One-Zero,” which sees the task force chasing a serial killer. Miguel Gomez joined the ensemble in season 2 as Ivan Ortiz, while the series also swapped out showrunner Rene Balcer (a veteran of the Dick Wolf universe) for David Hudgins.

FBI: International season 1 coming soon

The third show joining the FBI franchise will be called FBI: International. As the title indicates, the series focuses on a group of agents who handle the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s cases that extend outside the United States. No cast has been assembled yet and no premiere date has been announced, but expect that this will end up on CBS’ fall schedule as it’s a big new series.

If the premise sounds familiar, you’re not wrong; the network also had a Criminal Minds spinoff called Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders that had a Bureau task force taking international cases. One of the stars of that show was Alana de la Garza, who of course is now one of the leads on the original FBI.
