CBS' FBI Stars Didn't Spoil Isobel's Fate After Life-Or-Death Finale Cliffhanger, But I Love Their Pitches For 'Jumping The Shark' Spinoffs
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Fans of CBS' Dick Wolf TV shows knew going into the finales that they would be the last-ever episodes of FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, but who would have guessed that FBI would end on a life-or-death cliffhanger for one of the main characters? Not exactly a show known for serialized storylines or season-ending cliffhangers before the 2025 TV schedule, the Season 7 finale seemed like it was about to end with the good guys winning, the bad guys losing, and fans feeling pretty okay heading into hiatus. Instead, Isobel's life is on the line! Alana De La Garza and Jeremy Sisto didn't spoil to CinemaBlend what happens next, but they proved to be a very fun duo when paired up for interviews even after previewing a "frightening" finale. While dodging any spoilers, the two FBI stars came up with some wild spinoff pitches and fun alternate explanations for why Isobel collapsed with no pulse at the end of the Season 7 finale. When I spoke with the actors, I had to ask the obvious question: will De La Garza appear in Season 8? The Law & Order alum teased: Look, you never know. You have to watch! You have to watch Season 8 to see if I'm alive. Does she make it? How does she make it? Is there actually a call? Is she a zombie?... Zombie Apocalypse: FBI. She just comes back [like that]. Hey, if any TV universe could pull off a procedural about zombies, I'd wager that one in the FBI/One Chicago/Law & Order Dick Wolf world would have a fighting chance. Jeremy Sisto wasn't sold on the idea of Zombie Apocalypse: FBI, though, and the actors went back and forth on a potential supernatural spinoff: Jeremy Sisto: "I don't think that's a good idea. That would be jumping the shark for sure." Alana De La Garza: "We'll ask Dick [Wolf]." Jeremy Sisto: "Has Dick ever done a vampire [show]? I don't think he has. A zombie thing?" Alana De La Garza: "I don't think so. Blood and gore, but not that kind." Dick Wolf's current slate of shared universe TV shows via the Wolf Entertainment production company includes Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and of course FBI. (CIA will join on CBS in the fall to a certain extent.) They're all different enough shows, but one thing they all have in common? No zombies or vampires. Jeremy Sisto went on to address what it would mean to lose Isobel, so soon after she made a decision with no regrets. With the Season 7 finale currently available streaming with a Paramount+ subscription, the former Clueless star said: I mean, it's huge. Obviously, just the idea of losing Isobel... All of us were like, 'What's going on?' So whatever the fans are feeling, we have also felt, although perhaps we know the results, but we don't know. We cannot say. Despite the laughs between the stars, nobody was smiling when the final credits rolled on the finale. After Maggie and Jubal noticed Isobel stumbling over her words, the ASAC suddenly collapsed to the floor without a pulse. It seems that head wound that had me worried in the promo was more serious than it seemed! In a touch that I particularly loved, Jubal kept calling her "ma'am" when something just seemed a bit off, but switched over to "Isobel!" once she collapsed. Having seen that tragic ending, I got a kick out of De La Garza and Sisto continuing to spin sillier options for what the future holds. They told me: Alana De La Garza: "We cannot divulge." Jeremy Sisto: "That's the idea of it. Either I'm extremely saddened right now because she's not coming back, and I'm hiding that from you." Alana De La Garza: "He is a good actor!" Jeremy Sisto: "Or she is coming back and you'll just have to wait and see. I'm hiding that too. That's what we're supposed to be doing here. I'm playing the middle." But what about Maggie announcing to the assembled agents that Isobel didn't have a pulse, just after they scored such a huge victory against the villains who had infiltrated the Bureau? That's the biggest cliffhanger left after the credits rolled on Season 7, and that left me very happy that FBI scored an early renewal for Season 8. Well, the stars pitched an explanation for the absent pulse: Jeremy Sisto: "She doesn't have a pulse. I checked again, still no pulse. Maybe she just doesn't have a pulse. That's the other thing. They cut out the part where I was like, 'Maggie, it's fine. She just doesn't have a pulse.'" Alana De La Garza: "'Just leave her there. It's fine.'" Will FBI pick up in the immediate aftermath of the cliffhanger in the fall, to show exactly what happened to Isobel after her collapse? Or will Season 8 pick up in real time, with months passed in-universe since Isobel ended the spring without a pulse? Season 7 started last year with the exit of a series regular following a time jump, although Katherine Renee Kane's Tiff Wallace got to walk out alive and well. What about Isobel? We can only speculate for now, but at least Paramount+ has the entire run of the series so far to offer for summer hiatus rewatching.

FBI: Most Wanted – Canceled or renewed for season 7? What we know
To fans' joy, FBI was renewed for as many as three seasons at once back in 2024. Later, spin-off series FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International were renewed for one season each. However, to fans' disappointment, both series have been canceled, ending with their current sixth and fourth seasons respectively. The beloved show, which stars Dylan McDermott, Roxy Sternberg and Keisha Castle-Hughes, is coming to an end. There will be no FBI: Most Wanted season 7. FBI: Most Wanted was canceled alongside FBI: International after both the shows scored lower ratings than various other shows on CBS. According to RadioTimes, it seems as though the shows were canceled in part to introduce a new show in the franchise called CIA, which will star Tom Ellis. The cast and crew members of the show have shared their tributes after the filming was wrapped. Earlier in May, showrunner David Hudgins posting a photo of the whole team behind the scenes, captioning it, 'That's a wrap on #fbimostwantedcbs. Thank you amazing cast & crew'. Meanwhile, Edwin Hodge also shared behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, captioning the post, 'All good things must come to an end. I'm filled with so much abundance and appreciation for this prodigious cast and crew. Thanks to the cast for simply being their authentic selves. My days were filled with laughter every time I went to work. The crew showed up everyday to add their magic to make the show a hit as well. All teams stayed on deck and I couldn't be happier with the work environment and ultimately my experience on the show! I'll hit you with some new gigs this year.' Nina Chase star Shantel VanSanten shared a post saying she was "gonna miss these cherry blossoms, referring to the cast, adding that 'they made my days better and brighter'.

‘What In The World Are They Doing?' CBS' FBI Stars Hype The ‘Frightening' Season 7 Finale, And It's Been A Long Time Coming
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Season 7 of FBI is coming to an end in the 2025 TV schedule, and the season that started with one agent departing 26 Fed will end with 26 Fed possibly infiltrated by double agents. Called "A New Day," the finale's first preview had me concerned for Jubal and Isobel in particular, and comments from Jeremy Sisto and Alana De La Garza haven't allayed those concerns in the least! When I spoke with the FBI stars, they previewed what to expect from the last episode of the spring and why it's been a long time coming. According to CBS, the finale that airs on May 20 (and streams next day with a Paramount+ subscription) will kick off with Jubal narrowly escaping an attack on an FBI office that's supposed to be secret, leading to the discovery of the infiltration of the Bureau by a rogue terrorist group. Our heroes won't know who to trust within the NYC field office, and the promo even suggests that Jubal will be accused of betraying the FBI, while Isobel has strong words for... somebody, who hopefully isn't Jubal! So, how high are the stakes truly for "A New Day" as the final episode of FBI this spring? Well, I asked the stars that very question, and Jeremy Sisto shared: I feel like it's an idea we've been talking about since the beginning of the show. Because of the JOC being a sort of a character in the story, it's been an element of a lot of writers [who] have been like, 'We should do an episode where there's some bad guys inside the agency, and we don't know who they are.' And so I think there's probably been a lot of pitch meetings about ways to do that, and a lot of them were just too far this way or that way. They really pulled it off in a very believable way. While the idea for an episode with the bad guys coming onto the good guys' turf has apparently been circulating for some time, the Season 7 finale will finally deliver the storyline. It should be interesting to see if the core group of agents who usually trust each other without hesitation question the loyalties of any of the others. I can't see Maggie or OA having any doubts about the other, but the promo already suggests that Jubal could be in hot water. Sisto continued: It's obviously frightening that people within the agency could be swayed, but it also comes at a point where our fan base, they feel really connected to us. So the idea of realistically showing how this kind of organization could be brought down through nefarious means, I think, is something that's going to get people glued to their couches. "Glued to the couches" might be just what fans of the franchise need, in light of FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted's series finales airing right after FBI on Tuesday night. While we can't say just yet if a happy ending is on the way for the agents of the two cancelled shows, it certainly sounds like we're in for some excitement on the original series. (FBI is already renewed through Season 9.) Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearSubscribe to Paramount Plus to watch every episode of FBI so far. Opt for its Essential plan or go ad-free and get double the catalog with Showtime through the Premium plan from $12.99 a month. Alternatively, get 12 months for the price of 10 with its annual Deal As for Isobel, she looks somewhat worse for the wear in the earliest preview footage for the Season 7 finale. Alana De La Garza of course didn't spoil everything fans should expect from the big episode, but she did share a prediction for the kinds of questions viewers will be asking throughout the "journey." The former Law & Order actress previewed: They're going to be on the edge of their seat. This is unlike anything we have shot or I have read for the whole team... It's so exciting and there's so many twists and turns... I haven't even seen it. I know that we performed it and we read it, and it was like, 'What?! Have you guys read this?!' That was us coming to set every day, going, 'Oh my gosh, this is incredible.' So it's really, really fun. It was fun to be a part of, and I think it's going to be fun for the fans to go on that journey with us, and figure out: 'What in the world are they doing? Are they going to be okay?' Which is great. The wait is nearly over to check out the Season 7 finale of FBI, whether you watch live on CBS or stream via Paramount+. "A New Day" airs on May 20 in the hit drama's usual 8 p.m. ET CBS time slot, opening the very last FBI Tuesday with three full hours of the franchise. Check out the promo below: FBI returns in the fall for Season 8 with a new spot in CBS' TV lineup. Instead of its longtime 8 p.m. ET slot on Tuesdays, new episodes will air on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET ahead of CIA, the new spinoff starring Lucifer vet Tom Ellis. It remains to be seen if any FBI: International or FBI: Most Wanted characters will migrate over to the original series following their finales, but at least fans can count on FBI coming back.

FBI's Jubal Is In Serious Danger In CBS' Season Finale, But The Promo Has Me More Worried About A Totally Different Character
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Spoilers ahead for the penultimate episode of FBI Season 7, called "Devoted" and available streaming with a Paramount+ subscription, plus light spoilers for the upcoming finale. FBI revisited the past in "Devoted," with the return of Duke Ducoyle and the problems that "Calvin" caused for Isobel in particular, although she was spared the fate of the two IRS agents who were murdered in the second-to-last episode of the spring 2025 TV schedule. Based on CBS' episode description for the upcoming finale as well as most of the preview, Jubal seems to be the one in the most danger... but one clue has me more concerned about Isobel for the second episode in a row. The upcoming Season 7 finale of FBI is called "A New Day," and it won't have to double as a series finale thanks to the drama's triple renewal last year. (Both FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted will end with their upcoming spring finales.) Per the description from CBS, Jubal is going to have a close call early in the hour, and the danger will only increase from there. Take a look: After Jubal narrowly escapes a calculated assault on a secret FBI office, the team discovers a rogue terrorist group has infiltrated the FBI. Unsure of who to trust, the team must work in the shadows to unmask the culprits threatening the sanctity of the New York field office. Well, that certainly sounds like a case fit for a finale! I'm officially curious about this secret FBI office, and whether Jubal is working on a case out of that office or just visiting. The preview for the finale shows Jubal crashing through a glass door, so I have no trouble believing the "narrowly escapes" part of the episode description. The moment with Isobel struck me for a different reason. Check it out, in case you missed it: Isobel is sporting a pretty nasty cut on her face in that preview, and she didn't have that injury at the end of "Devoted." There's no sign that she was with Jubal at the secret FBI office, which suggests that there will be some kind of follow-up attack that successfully injuries the SAC. All this, not too long after FBI gave her a great excuse to quit! Another interesting moment comes at about the 8-second mark of the preview, which shows Jubal and a woman in an FBI jacket crashing through a glass door. I initially thought that it might be Jubal tackling Maggie to the ground to save her from something, since the woman in the FBI jacket has dark hair pulled back into a ponytail, but in light of the episode description, I'm inclined to think that this is a double agent with her gun drawn with the intent to use it on Jubal... and she just happens to be a brunette with a ponytail. For the full context of what's going down, fans will have to tune in to CBS on Tuesday, May 20 at 8 p.m. ET for the FBI Season 7 finale, followed by FBI: International at 9 p.m. ET and FBI: Most Wanted at 10 p.m. ET. After CBS' decision to cancel International and Most Wanted, the original series will be paired with CIA, starring Lucifer vet Tom Ellis, on Monday nights in the CBS fall 2025-2026 lineup.

FBI's CIA Spinoff Is A Go, And They Found The Most Devilish Leading Man I Can Think Of
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Despite sending its first two spinoffs to the graveyard of shows canceled in 2025 — R.I.P. FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted — CBS' G-Men franchise is growing larger thanks to the imminent arrival of the alphabetical offshoot previously titled FBI: CIA. Fans questioned the project's need to exist in place of the other established series, but it looks like all involved are feeling quite bullish about the new concept's chances, with two big updates cementing the spinoff's future. Network execs appear to have made a big call with the new project, with Deadline reporting that CBS is officially moving forward with a straight-to-series order for the drama offshoot, meaning it's now confirmed to be joining the mothership series during the Fall 2025 TV schedule. At this point, details are fairly few and far between, so it's not clear exactly how many episodes will be produced from the jump, and whether or not the option for more eps will be in place. But we do know that CBS may be cutting the FBI connective tissue out of the title to simply call the new drama CIA. The new show is the creation of David Hudgins (FBI: Most Wanted), Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy), and former CIA officer David Chasteen. It'll follow two partners with opposing personalities, with one being an impulsive rule-breaking CIA officer, and the other being a meticulous rule-following FBI agent, who are assigned to work out of the CIA's New York Station, where they must work through their differences to catch and/or thwart dangerous threats. The initial CIA plan was to build it into FBI proper as a backdoor pilot, with the two main characters and a third lead meant to be introduced into one of the current season's installments. That plan was delayed and reconfigured a couple of times due to a lack of casting decisions, and then the backdoor pilot idea was avoided entirely in place of a straightforward order. No more casting delays now, though, at least when it comes to locking down the CIA officer side of the new show's duo. For that role, the Dick Wolf-produced drama has cast Tom Ellis, who is arguably best known for his years of portraying the devil himself across six seasons of Lucifer. (Which altered its ending and jumped to Netflix after Fox canceled it three seasons in.) Ellis will be portraying the less rigid member of the pair, and is described as being a fast-talking loose cannon. Both things that I can easily see the UK actor portraying without stretching his talents too far. Add in a heaping dose of "self-satisfied snark," and it's essentially Lucifer Morningstar with a badge. Interestingly enough, Tom Ellis was attached to CIA casting reports starting around February, and they seemed to dissipate after a month or so of negotiations. Apparently something changed behind the scenes that was positive enough to sway Ellis to sign on. And once he was confirmed to be on board, CBS was reportedly more eager to work out the series order details. Stay tuned for more casting details for the new CIA spinoff to learn who will be tamping down Tom Ellis' rambunctious behavior when the new show kicks off this fall on CBS.
