FBI is a law enforcement procedural series which follows the agents of the New York field office as they try to protect the public from nefarious criminals. It’s dangerous and intense, as shown in the Season 7 finale where the status of one main character remains in the balance. Despite it being entirely fiction, there is a need to approach the roles realistically, and this is what Zaki does. A post shared on X features the actor preparing for the new season, with Zaki sharing how he prepares for his role as OA, physically training as if he really is “chasing these bad guys.” The actor commented, saying:
“The way I prepare for a new season or episode is physically. Our job is very athletic. We film outside, we film for a very very long time, 10 months, so you just have to make sure that you can physically do it. So just get in the gym and pretend that you are actually solving these crimes and chasing these bad guys. And that’s the way you do it.”
‘FBI’ Continues Its Efforts To Find The Right Fit For This Character
Maggie, OA, Jubal, and the rest of the team will return for FBI Season 8 on Monday, October 13 at 9 p.m. on CBS. The latest franchise spin-off, FBI: CIA, led by Tom Ellis, had been poised to launch on the same day as the flagship series has been delayed till mid-season following a creative redirection.
