CBS is tripling its commitment to FBI franchise, renewing the mothership series (for season 4) and spinoff FBI: Most Wanted (for the 3rd season). In addition, the network delivered an official serial order for a second branch, FBI: International.
FBI: International, which was put into development earlier this year, will debut next season in a crossover episode of FBI and FBI: Most Wanted.
“FBI is the fastest growing brand on television and our partner Dick Wolf has found yet another creative way to expand his universe, ”said CBS President Kelly Kahl in a statement. “FBI: International is an intriguing and distinguished drama that perfectly complements its attractive brothers, FBI and FBI: Most Wanted, creating an enviable triple threat for the coming season that will fit perfectly into our network line. “
As previously reported, FBI: International follows a group of elite agents – you guessed it – from the international FBI division as they travel the world with a mission to protect Americans wherever they are. Chicago Fire EP Derek Haas – who briefly served as co-showrunner for FBI – will serve as a showrunner.
TVLine’s 2021 Renewal Scorecard has been updated to reflect the results of FBI and FBI: Most Wanted.
