That leaves The Equalizer, The Neighborhood, Poppa’s House, S.W.A.T. and Watson all still sitting on the proverbial bubble, awaiting renew/cancel decisions.FBI: Most Wanted, which launched in January 2020 (after airing its backdoor pilot in an April 2019 episode of FBI), is currently unspooling Season 6 on Tuesdays at 10/9c.FBI: International launched in September 2021, and is currently airing its fourth season Tuesdays at 9 pm, where it leads out of the mothership.Both FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International are still in production on their current seasons, so there is at least the chance that fitting series finales for both/either can be shot.FBI proper was the recipient of a three-season renewal last spring, and as such is guaranteed be around through at least Season 9 (Spring 2027).FBI: Most Wanted this season is averaging 6.5 million total viewers, down 10% from its Season 5 average. Out of the 14 drama series that CBS has aired this TV season, it ranks No. 9 (behind broadcast’s most-watched show Tracker, the freshman hit Matlock, FBI, the cancelled but spinoff-bound Blue Bloods, NCIS, Elsbeth, the recently launched Watson and FBI: International).Most Wanted last TV season was broadcast television’s No. 10 most-watched returning drama.The series’ current cast includes original cast members Roxy Sternberg and Keisha Castle-Hughes, plus Dylan McDermott, Edwin Hodge and FBI transplant Shantel VanSanten.FBI: International this season is averaging 6.53 million total viewers, down 10% from its Season 3 average. Out of the 14 drama series that CBS has aired this TV season, it ranks No. 8 (behind broadcast’s most-watched show Tracker, the freshman hit Matlock, FBI, the cancelled but spinoff-bound Blue Bloods, NCIS, Elsbeth and the recently launched Watson).Its current cast includes original cast members Vinessa Vidotto, Carter Redwood and Green the dog, plus Eva-Jane Willis, Christina Wolfe and Jesse Lee Soffer.#TheFBIs’ one hope of staying plural is the prospective new spinoff FBI: CIA, which will air its backdoor pilot as a springtime episode of FBI.In FBI: CIA, a dedicated, strait-laced FBI agent and a street-smart CIA agent join forces as part of a new, clandestine task force charged with solving and preventing domestic terrorism in and around New York City.FBI: CIA is still in development and remains to be cast.Want scoop on any of the FBI series, or for any other TV show?

ΔWow. Surprised. I though one would be gone if FBI CIA was in the mix, but not both of the spinoffs. I guess they need the space because so much of their schedule is returning or spoken for for next year. I figured Most Wanted was on the chopping block with so much turn over on that show. I figure they will still do CIA because they would not do away with both…Hey CBS, there you go again screwing things up for the viewers such as myself who loves these three shows!!!!!Me too!Well that‚Äôs a bummer. All the good ones are being axed, probably for cheaper dummer, shows. Pretty soon nothing left after you get rid of the best shows. More time spent watching movies on Netflix CBS is done!!
Get rid of some of some of the new ones. Origins. WatsonWell crapI’m not usually one to write comments, but this really sucks. While the original FBI started out as my favorite– it’s been topped by Most Wanted. They’ve found their groove and I’ve really enjoyed their storylines. I’m really bummed out.I agree, most wanted is my favorite of the 3. I watch International but it’s had so many comings and goings it’s my least favorite. Still sad for them to be goneI agreeI agree with Nicole most wanted us great and I like international. I don’t care for FBI anymore same o same o .Me too. Every year they cancel shows that I like. If they did not have Star Trek, I would be gone.Can’t believe it love all 3 FBI’s.. international was really getting good this season with Chicago pds jay in it brilliant what is CBS doingThis is a darn shame. I love the FBI night of Wolf dramas. Most Wanted wasn‚Äôt as good after Julian McMahon left.All FBI programs are great and shouldn‚Äôt be cancelled swat should‚Äôve been canceled two years ago Watson is terribleOr at least move it to streaming like they did SEAL Team & Law/order organized crime. Tuesday was my favorite day of the week because of the. FBIs, Will Trent & The Rookie.
CBS, you‚Äôre punishing your viewersI agree they are canceling the wrong shows !I TRIED to watch and love Watson. HorribleI am a big fan of both of these shows. This really sucks. Why don’t they try moving them to Paramount+ or another streaming service? They did that with a bunch of different shows and seemed to work out good for themI agree about Watson, it’s unwatchable!Watson is just a wannabe House.
I wont watch itI agree Swat is not good! Bad acting! Watson is hard to follow.I have to disagree a little, I thought McDermott was the spark the show needed when Julian left with his daughter and soon to be wife!McDermott’s character is always so angry/mean. Too much so for my liking.
I don’t enjoy that show but FBI International, now that’s a real winner!Whatever you do, Don’t cancel SWAT OR EQUALIZER!, DON’T CANCEL FBI! IT WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE! I liked FBI AND FBI MOST WANTED FAVORITES!FBI: CIA is a truly ridiculous title.Wait till we get FBI: ICEOr FBI Canada, like NCIS SydneyThere is Law & Order: Toronto. Used to be a Law & Order: UK but it flopped hard lol.FBI: ICE? That’s funny. Their so called FBI:CIA sounds ridiculous too.One step closer to making ntsf:SD:SUV:: a reality.NTSF:AK:Canoe was in one episode as well, mocking spinoffs way back in 2012One step closer to making ntsf:SD:SUV:: a realityNooooo. Love both shows. Sad to see them go.Say what!!!! Watson is a terrible show imo..cancel that and keep one of these FBIs. Personally I’d choose International. This really sucks!I am shocked but not surprised. I hope whoever is making these brain-dead decisions is fired after the Paramount merger is completed. Why didn’t they ax NCIS Origens, with it low ratings and boring storyline? In fact, why is NCIS still on? Blue Bloods is a much more interesting show. And I’ve tried to watch Watson, but I found Elementary much more entertaining and interesting. I fall asleep during Watson. I realize it’s all about money, but cheaper shows don’t always mean better. CBS has really gone down hill under the current leadership. They should be cancelled as well. The sooner the better.NCIS is as good as ever and Origins started slow but has gotten better.. Sydney also catching on.This definitely sucks. I can’t believe the shows they are saying that have better views. Elsbeth, and Matlock aren’t nearly as interesting as the FBI’S. RIDICULOUS.What about Fire Country? That’s a terrible show and it’s going to have a spin off.I like fire countryYou already know what I’m gonna say about thisI’ve been watching Watson and trying to like it, but would give it up in a heartbeat for FBI International!Your on my wavelength. Totally agreeWatson? I watch 2 and could hardly get through the 2nd. Crap, crapHey CBS, there you go again screwing things up for the viewers such as myself who loves these three shows!!!!!I barely finished the 1st episodeWatson seems like House with less likable characters. I only watch it because it is on between Tracker and The Equalizer. I’d be happy to swap Watson for FBI International. That is the only FBI show I watch anymore, and I’m not going to watch another FBI spin off after they kill these two.Why not have some shows that only do 10-13 a season? Then one could air in winter and the other in spring?I thought they might trim one of the series’ episode counts down to 13 so they can still do FBI Tuesdays if they decided to order FBI:CIA to series. To cancel both is truly shocking as I thought only one would be going.I am so disappointed. I look forward to FBI night. I tried Watson and could not get into it at all. I hope CBS reconsiders. Their ratings were still pretty good so this makes no sense.Totally agree.Wow! So CBS axes these two but keeps low-rated NCIS Origins and NCIS Sydney? lol Hilarious!They fully own thosePrevious seasons of both FBI international & FBI Most Wanted are on Peacock…As if that mattered. They fully owned NCIS Hawaii and cancelled it anyway.Since all of Dick Wolf’s other shows are on NBC/Peacock I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to make a deal to have “Most Wanted” turn up over there, even if it’s “streaming only” like “Law & Order: Organized Crime” now is. I suspect “FBI International” won’t be back in either case though, because a certain Orange Imbecile is going to make it nearly impossible for any US company to do business in Europe. With the possible exceptions of fascist Hungary or Russia.NCIS: Sydney is made for Australia. It wasn’t even originally set to air in the US and only did so due to gaps in the schedule due to the strikes.100%, I don’t know how many times the myth of NCIS Hawaii or any other CBS show being cancelled to make way for NCIS Sydney comes up here, but it is nonsense.NCIS: ORIGINS so horrible. I deleted the series after the 3rd ep.I love NCIS Origins!!!!!I like that Mark tells the stories and we realize what’s going on. Stuff we didn’t know from watching the original. Things you always wondered whyAnd they axed NCIS LA which was far better than the others they kept. FBI MOST WANTED RULES I am shocked at CBS‚Äô decisions!I am not surprised…CBS is notorious for dumping shows.. and keeping some that clearly need to be cancelled…Oh well!I am not surprised because they really aren’t as good as the original. They became very stale.Most Wanted fell apart with the first cast changes. I do like International quite a bit! But haven‚Äôt liked their cast changes much either. What is it with these shows that can‚Äôt keep a cast?
We tried but could not watch Origins or Watson. If Matlock doesn‚Äôt speed it up, they are losing us too. NCIS is stale, my opinion. Time to move on. Still miss Tony and Zina.I agree.This sucks. But when it comes to CBS, nothing shocks me. They cancelled So Help Me Todd when the ratings were still solid. Both NCIS shows (Origins & Sydney) were both renewed despite International & Most Wanted had better ratings. Oh well. We better get solid endings for these shows or I’ll be pissed off they cancelled both of them.I loved So help me Todd but the ratings were not solid. CBS gave it a 2nd season when really it wasn’t doing good in the 1st season. It was doomed for cancellation in the first season, but CBS gave it another shot. What really hurt it was the writer’s strike. No one wanted to come back today network tv after that and it showed.I haven‚Äôt been able to watch the final episode of So Help Me Todd. It was a show my mom and I really loved and she passed just before the final episode.My condolences. My mom passed 18 months ago. One of her favorites was Murder She Wrote. Every so often I catch an episode to ‚Äúcheck in‚Äù on mom‚Äôs friend Jessica.We loved those 3 shows! We are very disappointed!Love the FBI Night shows, and even though I delay watch them, I still go 1-2-3 in order for a charged and energetic evening. Keeping track of the changing personnel is half of the fun. Hate to think that the night will fall apart for CBS without this triple threat.üò≥üò≥üò≥ what???Why…? Only one season with Jesse Lee !!?? üò¢I know!!I really enjoy him in this role too.Get good shows and then what do you do you cancel.This is a stupid move. Instead you want to replace FBI‚Äôs with stupid meaningless dumb shows . You all have great line up , now it‚Äôs getting flushed down the toilet.I am sorry for anyone who enjoyed these shows. As far as me, they should have done that same thing with the NCIS off shoots and canceled them both.
I believe CBS canceled two good shows and replaced them with terrible ones.Wow CBS some of your decisions really suck! Maybe it’s time for a new program manager. You cancel Blue Bloods and 2 FBIs and keep Watson and NCIS origins???Make that make sense! NCIS should have been cancelled years ago. FBI night was the one night we enjoyed!FBI International would be a great show for Paramount. Limit it to 10 episodes and chasing a “big bad” like Criminal Minds. I will miss FBI Most Wanted just for Dylan Mcdermott’s scenery chewing. He wasn’t on last week’s episode and it was refreshing!Why do they always take the good tv series off the air and leave these stupid 30 minute sitcoms on? I love all the FBI shows..shame on the network for cancelling themüò¢üëéüèªI liked those shows.So much crap on TV, it’s a shame these quality shows are cancelled. Just have to watch more PBS, Britbox and TopicLove Britbox.By providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
