FBI will return to CBS within the 2025 TV schedule this fall, however followers nonetheless have greater than a month to attend earlier than seeing companions Maggie and OA again in motion (to not point out the aftermath of Alana De La Garza’s cliffhanger). With FBI: Most Wished and FBI: Worldwide each cancelled, there will likely be a lot much less of the franchise in primetime within the 2025-2026 TV season. Thankfully, FBI stars Missy Peregrym and Zeeko Zaki have been as much as some shenanigans behind the scenes that have been caught on digital camera, and the prank jogged my memory why I’ve all the time cherished their characters’ partnership.
Maggie and OA might not have many probabilities to goof off on the present when there are crimes to unravel and dangerous guys to take down, however that clearly wasn’t the case for the actors on one explicit day after manufacturing began on Season 8. Have a look:
What’s to not love? There’s one thing very endearing about Zeeko Zaki having no concept who the individual behind the masks was till he heard Missy Peregrym beginning to chuckle, adopted by Peregrym doing a dance whereas Zaki laughed so laborious that he needed to lean on a desk. I additionally obtained amusing out of Zaki being completely sport to be pleasant to the obvious stranger, but additionally seemingly very confused about what was taking place. Even when we by no means see something fairly like this between Maggie and OA on display on FBI, I like getting the peek behind the scenes on the actors having enjoyable.
Maggie and OA definitely have the strongest partnership within the sequence, not least due to the solid shakeups preserving Scola from getting a full-time accomplice after Tiff left. They’ve one another’s backs, for higher or worse, whether or not that’s after they’ve been uncovered to sarin gasoline or simply offering a shoulder to lean on when wanted. FBI is without doubt one of the extra procedural exhibits within the expansive Dick Wolf TV universe throughout CBS and NBC, however the present has tracked the evolution of their friendships over eight seasons and counting. (The hit drama is at present renewed by Season 9.)
That’s to not say FBI Season 8 will likely be simply extra of the identical. Whereas it could nonetheless be a while earlier than CBS releases a lot footage for the subsequent batch of episodes, this fall would be the first time that FBI airs on an evening apart from a Tuesday. With the cancellations of FBI: Most Wished and FBI: Worldwide, CBS has gone from FBI Tuesdays to NCIS Tuesdays, with NCIS Season 23, NCIS: Origins Season 2, and NCIS: Sydney Season 3 getting these time slots.
FBI will now launch new episodes on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS, forward of Watson Season 2. The Morris Chestnut-starring medical detective drama was initially anticipated to return for Season 2 as a midseason premiere in early 2026, however the Tom Ellis-starring CIA (from FBI: Most Wished’s David Hudgins) was pushed again from a fall premiere alongside FBI to midseason.
Season 8 will premiere on Monday, October 13 to kick off every week of many long-awaited premieres on CBS. Massive questions forward of the brand new season embrace what occurred to Isobel after she collapsed with out a pulse on the finish of the Season 7 finale again within the spring, in addition to whether or not the most recent addition to the solid will stick as Scola’s accomplice this time. If you wish to revisit final season of the drama, yow will discover it streaming with a Paramount+ subscription now.
