By Aman Shukla Published on June 12, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated June 12, 2025, 17:11 IST
The hit CBS crime drama FBI , created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk, has captivated audiences with its intense storytelling and dynamic cast since its debut in 2018. With Season 7 wrapping up on May 20, 2025, fans are eagerly awaiting FBI Season 8 . Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot details, and more for the upcoming season of this beloved procedural series. FBI Season 8 Release Date Speculation
While CBS has not yet confirmed the exact premiere date for FBI Season 8 , the show's consistent fall release schedule provides strong clues. Season 7 premiered on October 15, 2024, and previous seasons have typically launched between September and October. Based on this pattern, FBI Season 8 is expected to premiere in September or October 2025, likely in the third quarter of the year. FBI Season 8 Cast: Who's Returning and Who's Leaving?
The FBI cast has seen some changes in Season 7, and these shifts will impact Season 8. Here's a look at the expected returning cast and notable departures: Returning Cast Members Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell, the team's de facto field leader, is expected to return.
Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan, Maggie's partner and a West Point graduate, will likely continue.
Jeremy Sisto as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, a central figure in the fusion center, is set to return.
Alana De La Garza as Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, whose fate was left uncertain in the Season 7 finale, is anticipated to return, pending resolution of her cliffhanger.
John Boyd as Special Agent Stuart Scola, who navigated new partners in Season 7, is expected back.
Emily Alabi as Special Agent Dani Rhodes, introduced as Scola's new partner in Season 7, may return, though her status as a series regular is unconfirmed. Cast Members Not Returning Katherine Renee Kane will not return as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace, having exited in the Season 7 premiere to pursue new creative endeavors.
Lisette Olivera, who played Syd James, a Behavioral Analysis Unit agent and Scola's temporary partner, left after a few episodes in Season 7 and will not return for Season 8. FBI Season 8 Plot Details: What to Expect
FBI Season 8 will likely continue its signature case-of-the-week format, blending episodic investigations with deeper personal arcs for the ensemble cast. The Season 7 finale, 'A New Day,' set up significant storylines that will carry into the next season. Here's what we can expect: Fallout from the Forefront Infiltration
The Season 7 finale revealed that the extremist group Forefront had infiltrated the FBI's New York field office, leading to the deaths of nine agents, including Assistant Director in Charge Reynolds. Deputy Assistant Director Simon Keene was exposed as a mole working with Forefront, and Special Agent Isobel Castille collapsed after uncovering another potential traitor, leaving her fate uncertain. Season 8 will likely explore: The aftermath of the Forefront attack and the hunt for remaining moles within the FBI.
Whether Isobel Castille survives and how her potential absence or return impacts team dynamics.
Leadership changes, as the field office must fill vacant upper management roles. Personal Stakes for the Team
The infiltration made the stakes deeply personal for agents like Jubal Valentine and Maggie Bell. Season 8 may delve into Jubal's struggles, given his 'sordid past' and suspicions cast on him in Season 7. Maggie and OA's partnership will likely remain a cornerstone, with their personal lives—such as Maggie's commitment to her team and OA's background as a former DEA agent—adding depth to their cases.

The entire run of 'Twin Peaks' was just added to a streaming service you've probably never heard of — here's where to watch all 48 episodes now
It's the 35th anniversary of "Twin Peaks" this year, with the first episode of David Lynch's acclaimed mystery-horror drama premiering back on April 8, 1990. To celebrate, the streaming service Mubi has added all 48 episodes of the series — 30 episodes of "Twin Peaks" and 18 episodes of "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event" (also referred to as "Twin Peaks: The Return" or "Twin Peaks" season 3) — available to stream right now. If you haven't heard of Mubi, that's understandable. It's not currently on our list of the best streaming services, though we're planning to review it for consideration later this year. But I've been a Mubi subscriber for a while, and it's probably the best streaming service you've never heard of. Especially for cinephiles who love indie, arthouse and foreign films. So, for those who aren't familiar, let's dive into what "Twin Peaks" is about, why you need to watch it, and why Mubi is worth signing up for to stream the iconic series right now. "Twin Peaks" and its follow-up, "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event," are, for the most part, about the investigation of the murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). The shows are set in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks, and stars Kyle MacLachlan as FBI special agent Dale Cooper, who is tasked with investigating the local teen's untimely demise. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's tough to pin down a genre to define this show. It's a mystery show, to be sure, but there are elements of soap opera campiness and melodrama as well as plenty of surrealist horror. Because the series was created by and directed by David Lynch, it often takes on a more cinematic presentation than the typical TV show. The pilot was a two-hour-long feature film. Despite these quirks, or (more accurately) because of them, the show was a massive critical success. Season 1 earned 14 Emmy nominations and season 2 earned four more, while also winning several Golden Globes. "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event" was similarly critically successful, earning nine Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination for MacLachlan's reprisal as Dale Cooper. It's safe to say that, unless you've already seen "Twin Peaks," you've never seen a show like "Twin Peaks." As of today, you can stream all eight episodes of "Twin Peaks" season 1 on Mubi, including the feature-length pilot. You can also stream all 22 episodes of season 2 and all 18 episodes of "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event," which is set 25 years after the events of the season 2 finale. Mubi is a great way to stream some lesser-known movies. Specializing in indie, arthouse and foreign films, it has a deep library that is a cinephile's dream. And now, it even has "Twin Peaks"! You can get Mubi for $14.99 or get Mubi Go in select cities for just $5 more, which gives you a curated movie ticket to a local cinema every single week. Sign up now for a seven-day free trial! Now, it's important to note that you cannot watch the prequel movie, "Fire Walk With Me," on Mubi. You need to head to Max for that. Nor can you watch the deleted scenes compilation film "Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces." You'll need to head to The Criterion Channel — another underrated streaming service for cinephiles — to watch that movie. But beyond the three seasons of "Twin Peaks," there are a lot of great movies to watch on Mubi. We've even covered a few of them here at Tom's Guide. Last year's hit body horror movie "The Substance" is available to stream on Mubi right now, as is the hilarious documentary "Grand Theft Hamlet," which covers the attempt to recreate Shakespeare's "Hamlet" entirely within the game "Grand Theft Auto Online." So head over to Mubi and get yourself a membership now. It comes with a seven-day free trial in case you decide it's not for you or you binge through the entire 48-episode run of "Twin Peaks" in a week and decide you don't need more than that. Stream "Twin Peaks" and "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event" on Mubi Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

OceanGate's former chief pilot says he was 'cut out' from the Titan project after telling CEO Stockton Rush the sub wasn't safe
'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' examines the 2023 submarine accident that killed five people. OceanGate's former chief pilot said Stockton Rush crashed into a shipwreck in 2016. David Lochridge said he was cut from the project for voicing his concerns. The former chief pilot of OceanGate said the company's CEO ignored his warnings that the Titan submersible — which was destroyed in a deadly implosion — was unsafe. David Lochridge made the claim in Netflix's new documentary, "Titan: The OceanGate Disaster." It examines what went wrong in the run-up to the Titan's visit to the wreck of the Titanic, which ended in the CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, and four others dying onboard. Lochridge recalled just how determined Rush was to achieve his goal of making deep-sea tourism a reality. The documentary features archival footage of Rush and his team building submersibles, including the Titan. In one clip taken from an interview with CBS, Rush says: "By the time we're done testing it, I believe it's pretty much invulnerable." Lochridge was OceanGate's director of marine operations and the company's chief pilot from 2015 to 2018. He recalled how in 2016, Rush chartered a dive with the Titan's predecessor, the Cyclops 1 submarine, to see the SS Andrea Doria wreck off the coast of Massachusetts. The ship sank in 1956 after colliding with the SS Stockholm due to heavy fog. Lochridge said he had to persuade Stockton to let him accompany him on the voyage, which included paying passengers, after he decided to pilot it himself. Footage from inside the Cyclops during the dive, featured in the documentary, shows Rush piloting the submarine into a debris field underneath the bow of the Andrea Doria. The craft gets stuck, and Lochridge takes over the controls to pilot it to safety. "He had us jammed good and proper. I said to him, 'Please don't do anything. Just give me the controller.' He didn't have a lot of experience in piloting subs," Lochridge said. "At that point, I got us clear, I motored us 50 meters away, turned us round and I said 'That is what we were supposed to have fucking done on the dive,'" he added. Lochridge said that after the crew resurfaced, Rush's attitude toward him changed. "The passengers were hugging, but with Stockton, it was a complete turnaround for me. He never really spoke to me the rest of the trip. The dynamic changed. After the Andrea Doria, I started getting cut out by senior management from the Titan project. I was dropped from all email communications, verbal communications. I was totally out of the loop," he said. Lochridge said he was fired two years later in 2018 after he discussed his safety concerns with Rush in a meeting about the Andrea Doria incident. In 2023, OceanGate threatened to sue Lochridge if he didn't withdraw his allegations to the US Department of Labor that he was fired in retaliation for raising these concerns. In the documentary, Lochridge said that he was worried about the stability of Titan's carbon fiber hull and the caliber of the design team working on the project. He said: "I was seeing every single piece, and pretty much every single piece had an issue. The engineering director, Tony Nissen, we used to argue on a regular basis. He brought in people with very little experience from the manned submersible industry. A lot of them were fresh out of college." "At the time, I had no experience with carbon fiber, but for the untrained eye, it was like Swiss cheese. You could actually see the porosity, you could see the delaminations, you could see all the voids," he continued, referring to the separation of layers. Nissen also appears in the documentary and said he was pressured by Rush to "make sure nobody spoke up." Footage from 2018 also shows Rush arguing with Lochridge as he believed that the submarine could handle pressure at the extreme depths. "What you do is you set a testing program where you do it incrementally. It's not just going to go to 3100 [metres] and be perfect, and at 3200 [metres] it all goes anyway. That ain't going to happen, and I will put my life on the line to say that ain't going to happen," he said. OceanGate ceased operations in July 2023 and could not be reached for comment. "Titan: The OceanGate Disaster" is streaming on Netflix. Read the original article on Business Insider

The category updates are as follows: General Field Eligibility for Best New Artist has been expanded to include artists who have been previously nominated in Album of the Year, but whose contributions fell below the current 20 percent playing time threshold.
