A curious fan reached out to TVLine, inquiring whether any stars from the FBI universe would be making appearances in the new series. According to sources, the production is currently in a “holding pattern,” which has also resulted in no additional cast members being confirmed. The reason for this delay seems to stem from the need for the scripts to undergo “further polishing,” ensuring that the storytelling meets the high standards expected by audiences.
Despite the current situation, CIA is still expected to premiere on Monday nights this fall on CBS, which is something that fans can look forward to.
The synopsis shared back in April by Deadline provides an intriguing glimpse into the show’s premise: it follows two unlikely partners—a quick-witted, rule-defying CIA case officer (Ellis) and a disciplined, seasoned FBI agent who is a firm believer in the law. As they are assigned to work together at the CIA’s New York Station, they must navigate their contrasting styles to investigate threats and criminals that pose dangers to the United States. Their differences, it turns out, may become their greatest asset in solving complex cases.
Additionally, don’t miss the list of 7 shows that CBS has canceled this year, which includes two from the FBI series.
