Freshly renewed for Season 2, FBI is already getting a spinoff at CBS.
The network has ordered a backdoor pilot for FBI: Most Wanted. The spinoff will air in the spring as an episode of FBI with a series order expected.
Per Deadline:
As the name suggests, FBI: Most Wanted is centered around the division of the FBI tasked with tracking and capturing the notorious criminals on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.
The planted spinoff episode, which is now casting leads for the potential offshoot series, is written by Wolf and one of his trusted writer-producers, Law & Order alum Rene Balcer, and will be directed by another Law & Order veteran, Fred Berner, who also has been directing episodes of Wolf’s Chicago dramas on NBC.
Are you looking forward to the FBI spinoff? Should the show be cancelled?
With CBS thinking long-term by expanding FBI as a franchise, the show’s chances of a third season have been boosted. Stay tuned as we monitor the survival and spinoff status of FBI…
Sue Cugini says
I would definitely watch it. I like the current FBI and I hope that doesn’t get cancelled.
Donna Gatlin says
Am really enjoying FBI and I hope they keep it going for a long, long time. Will also watch the spinoff.
Jack says
Too much of a good thing might cause the loss of both!
Variety is the spice of life.
Hal says
Sounds to me like CBS is casting about for a replacement for the Criminal Minds franchise. The FBI series could be it. I hope so.
