FBI: CIA
“FBI: CIA” will not air a backdoor pilot this Spring on the mothership series as originally planned, instead the show is nearing a straight-to-series order for the 2025-26 TV season. The heavily criticised title is also expected to be changed due to a “mixed reaction”.

Casting negotiations for the male lead are still underway and are said to be the primary hold-up for the show which centers on a dedicated, strait-laced FBI agent and a street-smart CIA agent who join forces as part of a new, clandestine task force focused on domestic terrorism in and around New York City.
