The FBI franchise took a hit this season following the cancellation of FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, but FBI will not be the only series in the franchise next season. CIA, formerly known as FBI: CIA, an offshoot of the franchise that has been in development since before the Most Wanted and International cancellations, has been ordered straight-to-series at CBS. Tom Ellis, known for his lead role in Fox/Netflix's Lucifer, will lead the series, the only cast member confirmed for the show so far. CIA is confirmed for a premiere in the 2025-26 season. It's the third series order for CBS for next season, after the long-gestating Sheriff Country and Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue. All of their new pickups so far are, notably, tied to other popular CBS projects. Several other projects remain in contention, including multiple sitcom pilots and drama pilot Einstein.
