FBI Season 7: Confirmation & Everything We Know

Summary FBI Season 7 has been confirmed along with two additional seasons in the future.

The cast of FBI Season 7 is expected to be similar to Season 6, with Missy Peregrym and other key actors returning.

The storyline of FBI Season 7 is currently unknown, but it is expected to continue the case-of-the-week format with agents tackling threats in New York City.

From producer Dick Wolf, FBI has been one of the biggest hits for CBS in recent memory, and the action-packed police procedural will return for season 7. Debuting in 2018, the series follows the dedicated agents of the New York City FBI field office as they protect the city and the country from various domestic threats. Dick Wolf's fingerprints are all over FBI, and it strikes a fine balance between the typical case-of-the-week formula with the added benefit of well-written characters and the added gravitas of the FBI.

It didn't take long for the series to receive a spinoff, and the season 1 episode "Most Wanted" served as a backdoor pilot for the eponymous offshoot. The popular CBS procedural has been spun off one more time in the years since, and it is quickly becoming TV's next multi-show franchise. Like other Dick Wolf creations such as Law & Order and the One Chicago franchise, FBI works so well because of the nearly limitless possibilities that could easily see the flagship series stretch on for decades. Even with six seasons under its belt, FBI shows no signs of stopping.

Only a few weeks after the entire franchise was given the renewal order by CBS, the latest news confirms reduced roles for the lead actors of FBI. Along with its spinoff, FBI: Most Wanted, FBI season 7 will look somewhat different from its predecessors as each main character will see their episode appearances shortened.

Now, each main character will miss a minimum of two episodes per season.

CBS premiered its FBI shows in February 2024, and it only took a few months for the network to give all three additional season orders. The all-FBI Tuesdays schedule has helped CBS dominate the ratings, and the network was eager to keep that trend going by not only renewing Most Wanted and International for additional seasons but also by ordering the flagship series for three more years. Now, fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing FBI will be around through season 9.

FBI season 6 is currently airing Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on CBS, and can be streamed the next day on Paramount+.

FBI Season 7 Cast

Expect The Entire Cast To Return

Close

Procedurals like FBI are known for keeping cast members around for a long time, and there isn't a lot of change from season to season. Though season 6 saw the tragic death of recurring character Trevor Hobbs, played by Roshawn Franklin, major characters typically don't change all that often. With that in mind, FBI season 7's cast will probably look a lot like season 6's, with Missy Peregrym returning as Special Agent Maggie Bell alongside the rest of her familiar team.

A list of expected returns includes:

Actor FBI Role Missy Peregrym Special Agent Maggie Bell Zeeko Zaki Special Agent Omar Adom "OA" Zidan John Boyd Special Agent Stuart Scola Katherine Renee Kane Special Agent Tiffany Wallace Alana de la Garza SAC Isobel Castille Jeremy Sisto Assistant SAC Jubal Valentine

FBI Season 7 Story

A Case-Per-Week Format Is Expected

At this juncture, it is impossible to guess what exactly will happen in FBI season 7, since most ongoing storylines are wrapped up by the end of each season. Because season 6 is still airing, there's a possibility that something major could happen that affects the series' future, but it is unclear until the finale airs. However, it's almost certain that FBI season 7 will be like most hit procedurals and feature a case-of-the-week format in which the agents of the FBI's New York City field office must face some of the biggest threats that the Big Apple has to offer.
