Why Did 'FBI: Most Wanted' and 'FBI: International' Get Canceled? Here's the Reason CBS Didn't Renew the Shows
FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International are off the case. CBS' popular FBI franchise spawned two spinoffs after the flagship series first debuted in September 2018. The first, FBI: Most Wanted, premiered in January 2020, and FBI: International followed in September 2021. Both FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International were among the top 10 most-watched network primetime TV shows for the 2024-2025 season. Still, in March 2025, it was announced that the Dick Wolf dramas would not be returning in the fall. When it launched, Julian McMahon, Roxy Sternberg, Kellan Lutz and Keisha Castle-Hughes were part of the FBI: Most Wanted cast. Following McMahon's exit in season 3, Dylan McDermott took over as the series' lead. In March 2022, McDermott told PEOPLE that signing on for FBI: Most Wanted was "an easy yes." Now, three years later, McDermott is saying goodbye too. So why did FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International get canceled? Here's everything to know about the spinoffs coming to an end and the future of the franchise. FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International were canceled after their sixth and fourth seasons, respectively. When the initial announcement was made in March 2025, no reason was given, but two months later, more details came to light. In the end, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International were canceled because of finances. According to Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, the network had "to be fiscally responsible" when choosing which projects to renew. "Ultimately those deals and the shows just weren't penciling out for us for an economic perspective," she said in May 2025, per Deadline. 'It's never easy to end shows, and we had a lot of options this year." Reisenbach continued, "We always have to look at all of our shows, look at the aggregate information. The creative, where they are in their life cycle, what the finances look like, what the ratings are — and we make those tough decisions." CBS also canceled The Equalizer starring Queen Latifah after season 5. Additionally, it didn't renew S.W.A.T. following season 8, which featured Shemar Moore and was chopped once before. Following the announcement of FBI: International's cancellation, series star Eva-Jane Willis told PEOPLE in a statement that although she was "sad" the show ended, she was grateful for the opportunity. Willis also shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, writing, "There are no words. So many fantastic friendships on screen and off. So many countries. So many adventures. Loved every minute. Thank you to all the people who worked their asses off and made this possible. Legends all." Vinessa Vidotto, who portrayed special agent Cameron Vo on International, echoed a similar sentiment. The actress reflected with a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram. "Thank you for watching our show and being invested ... I needed this chapter, I'm filled with gratitude. And now it's time to graduate and grow, again," she captioned it. Edwin Hodge, who played special agent Ray Cannon on Most Wanted, posted his own series of pictures from set. "All good things must come to an end. I'm filled with so much abundance and appreciation for this prodigious cast and crew," he penned. Most Wanted's Castle-Hughes shared a snap as she said goodbye to her character, Hana Gibson. In her Instagram post, she also thanked Wolf Entertainment, CBS and the FBI franchise "for the journey." FBI's season 7 finale aired on May 20, but the flagship series will be back in the fall for season 8. In April 2024, FBI was renewed for three more seasons, taking it through its tenth installment. When it returns, FBI will be moving from its Tuesday time slot to Monday nights. Yes, another FBI spinoff, titled CIA, is in development and will premiere in the fall. The new show takes place in the same world as FBI, but will follow a "fast-talking, rule-breaking loose-cannon" agent, played by Tom Ellis (Lucifer, Tell Me Lies). According to the synopsis, Ellis' character will be paired with a 'by-the-book' partner, a 'seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of the law.' 'When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil," the description continues. "Finding that their differences may actually be their strength." FBI and CIA will air back-to-back on Monday nights, starting at 9 p.m. E.T. on CBS. FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International are available to stream on Peacock and Paramount+. Read the original article on People

FBI franchise viewers left furious after sudden series cancellation
Two US dramas have been suddenly cancelled despite having solid viewers, leaving fans infuriated. FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, successful procedural spin-offs of CBS ' FBI franchise, are officially drawing to a close after six seasons and four seasons, respectively. Just like with the departure of Most Wanted star Alexa Davalos in 2023, the announcement has caused confusion among the fandom, especially as the show's appeared to be commercially successful – but it's been reported that the decision stemmed from the network's desire to cut costs. However, fans are pointing out that it most probably has something to do with the forthcoming spin-off FBI: CIA. Many believe that the network is making way for the new show, which has led to the demise of one of the current spin-offs. This has left fans particularly infuriated by the shows' unceremonious cancellations. 'I knew one would be cancelled to make way for FBI:CIA but thought they'd keep one,' a viewer said, with another angrily adding: WHAT THE F*** CBS?? WE DON'T WANT A NEW SPINOFF. WE WANT THE SHOWS AND CHARACTERS WE ALREADY LOVE.' An additional fan concurred: 'No one asked for another FBI spin off, no one wanted this,' with another stating on X/Twitter: 'Did anyone even ask for an FBI: CIA? Anyone?' Some of the cancelled show's lead cast members – including Most Wanted 's Dylan McDermott and Shantel VanSanten and International 's Jesse Lee Soffer – may be out of a job having moved from the main FBI show to the spin-offs. However, the Dick Wolf-produced shows often see characters move from one show to the next, so their return to the main series is possible. Deadline also reports that the shows have a few episodes left to shoot, so will receive series finales as opposed to ending on a cliffhanger, which was a fate suffered by the cancelled NCIS: Hawaii in May 2024. FBI: Most Wanted, created by René Balcer, premiered in 2020 while FBI: International, created by Wolf and Derek Haas, followed in 2021. The main FBI show is currently on its seventh season, but received a three-season order, meaning it will remain on air until at least its ninth season in 2027. It started in 2018.
