CBS has officially greenlit a new "FBI" spinoff series that will focus on CIA agents and will star Tom Ellis ("Lucifer") in the lead role. The show, which hails from writers Dick Wolf and David Hudgins, is currently titled "CIA" and will premiere during the 2025-2026 broadcast season.
The show began development in January, and was originally going to start out with a backdoor pilot, with characters introduced during an episode of the current season of "FBI". Casting for the remaining roles, including the second lead, is ongoing.
The show's official logline reads as follows:
"'CIA' is a one hour crime drama centered on two unlikely partners – a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (Ellis), and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength."
Wolf and Hudgins are executive producers along with Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen, and Peter Jankowski, with Hudgins set as showrunner. Universal Television produces in association with Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios.
"FBI: Most Wanted" and "FBI: International" have been canceled at CBS. Meanwhile, the original "FBI" series was renewed for three additional seasons in 2024.
Ellis is also set to star opposite Sterling K. Brown in the upcoming Hulu limited series "Washington Black".
