FBI Season 7: Confirmation & Everything We Know
Yet another hit for producer Dick Wolf, FBI has blossomed into a bona fide franchise, and the action-packed procedural is returning for season 7.
From producer Dick Wolf, FBI has been one of the biggest hits for CBS in recent memory, and the action-packed police procedural will return for season 7. Debuting in 2018, the series follows the dedicated agents of the New York City FBI field office as they protect the city and the country from various domestic threats. Dick Wolf’s fingerprints are all over FBI, and it strikes a fine balance between the typical case-of-the-week formula with the added benefit of well-written characters and the added gravitas of the FBI.
It didn’t take long for the series to receive a spinoff, and the season 1 episode “Most Wanted” served as a backdoor pilot for the eponymous offshoot. The popular CBS procedural has been spun off one more time in the years since, and it is quickly becoming TV’s next multi-show franchise. Like other Dick Wolf creations such as Law & Order and the One Chicago franchise, FBI works so well because of the nearly limitless possibilities that could easily see the flagship series stretch on for decades. Even with six seasons under its belt, FBI shows no signs of stopping.

Just a few months after the shows returned after the Hollywood strikes of 2023, the latest news sees CBS renew all three FBI shows. Continuing to reign supreme on Tuesday nights, CBS wasted no time in giving its FBI shows more seasons, with FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International granted a single-season order. In a testament to the staying power of the flagship series, FBI was given a three-season order from CBS which confirms the show through season 9.

FBI Season 7 Is Confirmed
FBI Renewed Through Season 9
CBS premiered its FBI shows in February 2024, and it only took a few months for the network to give all three additional season orders. The all-FBI Tuesdays schedule has helped CBS dominate the ratings, and the network was eager to keep that trend going by not only renewing Most Wanted and International for additional seasons but also by ordering the flagship series for three more years. Now, fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing FBI will be around through season 9.
FBI Season 7 Cast
Expect The Entire Cast To Return
Procedurals like FBI are known for keeping cast members around for a long time, and there isn’t a lot of change from season to season. Though season 6 saw the tragic death of recurring character Trevor Hobbs, played by Roshawn Franklin, major characters typically don’t change all that often. With that in mind, FBI season 7’s cast will probably look a lot like season 6’s, with Missy Peregrym returning as Special Agent Maggie Bell alongside the rest of her familiar team.
FBI Season 7 Story
A Case-Per-Week Format Is Expected
At this juncture, it is impossible to guess what exactly will happen in FBI season 7, since most ongoing storylines are wrapped up by the end of each season. Because season 6 is still airing, there’s a possibility that something major could happen that affects the series’ future, but it is unclear until the finale airs. However, despite the uncertainty about larger storylines, it’s almost certain that FBI season 7 will feature a case-of-the-week format in which the agents of the FBI’s New York City field office must face some of the biggest threats that the Big Apple has to offer.
