CBS Cancels FBI Spinoffs Amid New Developments

CBS has canceled two of its FBI franchise spinoffs, 'FBI: Most Wanted' and 'FBI: International,' despite their success in viewership ratings and timeslot performances. The cancellations, effective after the sixth and fourth seasons respectively, coincide with the development of a new spinoff, 'FBI: CIA,' set to be introduced as a backdoor pilot. Financial considerations and a shift in focus toward new projects are likely contributing factors, as both series were produced externally by Universal TV and Wolf Entertainment. Fans have expressed frustration over the cancellations, especially since the shows contributed significantly to CBS's lineup and were part of a beloved franchise. Meanwhile, the flagship show 'FBI' continues with a multi-season renewal, ensuring its presence on CBS through the 2026-27 season.
