FBI fans, there’s plenty more to look forward to.
Since its debut back in 2018, Dick Wolf’s FBI has continued to be a hit in the Law & Order creator’s series crown. With the most recent sixth season continuing to pull in fans, the crime drama has now been renewed for three more seasons.
That means that we not only have season 7 to look forward to, but we also have seasons 8 and 9 to anticipate in the future as well.
At the time of the series renewal, CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said: “The All-FBI Tuesday is a powerful force to be reckoned with on our primetime schedule.
“Dick Wolf and the talent in front of and behind the camera on all three series continue to deliver top-notch storytelling, riveting action and intrigue that has captivated a dedicated fanbase steadily across multiple seasons. We are excited to see what next season holds for all these heroic characters.”
With season 6 having just wrapped up airing in the US, when can we expect the next installation to land on our screens? Read on to find out more about FBI season 7.
FBI season 7 release date speculation
FBI season 7 is definitely happening but as for when it will be landing on our screens, nothing has been confirmed just yet but Deadline has reported that FBI (as well as FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International) will air in the 2024/25 season. season.
Compared to the production schedule and release pattern of previous seasons, we would anticipate that FBI season 7 will be released in early 2025. The seasons have varied in length, but usually the FBI finale typically airs in May.
Speaking to The Direct, Jeremy Sisto did reveal more about when they’ll start filming the new season and said that production “usually start[s] mid-July”.
FBI season 7 cast: Who will return?
As for who will return in the new season of FBI, we’d expect all the main players to – but there’s been an update on some cast members having reduced roles in season 7.
According to Deadline, series regulars on FBI (and its spin-off FBI: Most Wanted) will have their minimum guaranteed appearances trimmed by two episodes next season. A budget-saving exercise that has also recently hit long-running medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy, we’re sure it won’t have too much of an impact of character stories but we’ll just have to wait and see.
While we’d imagine that there will be some new characters joining the series, the main FBI cast that we’d expect to make a return in season 7 are as follows:
Missy Peregrym as Maggie Bell
Zeeko Zaki as Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan
Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine
John Boyd as Stuart Scola
Katherine Renee Kane as Tiffany Wallace
Alana De La Garza as Isobel Castille
What will FBI season 7 be about?
We’re sure season 7 will pick back up after the dramatic season 6 finale of FBI but as for whether it will do so immediately or pick back up after a chunk of time has elapsed, we’ll have to see.
The season tied up many loose ends going into the finale, including terrorist organization leader Hakim Siran, and even featured the return of Missy Peregym as Maggie.
Speaking about the season 6 finale, series star Zeeko Zaki told Screen Rant: “The final episode is a full-circle moment from our first episode, which is really exciting.
“We don’t usually leave cliffhangers or villains that get away, so it’s nice to get an opportunity to close that loop. It’s also great to, again, just show how strong of a team we are and to show our unity through multiple characters ‘ perspectives.
“This is definitely a fun chapter closing on a pretty intense villain and what he did to us, and what he did to one of our own, and things like that. It’s just going to be a very well-earned ‘getting that guy’ moment.”
As for what season 7 will be about and who could be returning, we’re sure – as is usually the case – the series will continue to adopt its ‘new case every week’, format with some kind of overarching bad guy or villain set to be nabbed at the last minute. We can’t wait!
Is there a trailer for FBI season 7?
No! As production is yet to kick off on season 7, there’s currently no trailer.
Watch this space, though, as we’ll be sure to keep it updated once one does drop.
FBI season 6 continues to be released every week on Sky Witness and NOW in the UK, seasons 1-5 are available to stream on NOW.
