Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Before Sarah Paulson played a lawyer in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, she was on trial on Law & Order. She looks the same now as she did when she was 19 in that 1994 episode.

The FBI franchise has had an interesting run on CBS this season. The OG was picked up for three seasons last year. Then, two weeks ago, the network cancelled its two spinoffs FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.

However, the news was not all bleak for Dick Wolf’s CBS franchise. There were reports that CBS was working on a backdoor pilot for FBI: CIA.

Today, Deadline is reporting that the backdoor pilot is no longer happening because they have not found their leads. Instead of killing the series, they are looking to give it a straight-to-series order. Thus giving them more time to find their stars.

FBI: CIA, whose name is expected to be changed, centers on a dedicated, strait-laced FBI agent and a street-smart CIA agent who are part of a new, clandestine task force charged with solving and preventing domestic terrorism in and around New York City.

If they really wanted to tackle domestic terrorism, they should base the show in DC, specifically 1600 Penn, because there is a lot of that going on there.

We are still two months away from the networks announcing their schedules for the 2025-2026 season. But today, we found out two shows that will not be on it.

CBS has decided to cancel the spinoffs of FBI, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.

Deadline reports that it might be a financial decision over negotiations failing between NBC Universal, who own Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment, and the network.

The news might not be all bad for Wolf and fans of the FBIs. There are reports that CBS might be interested in picking up FBI: CIA. The backdoor pilot is expected to be part of an upcoming FBI: Mothership episode.

On that note, FBI: Mothership will be around for at least two more seasons.

What might not be around next season is The Equalizer, which is also produced by NBC Universal. However, negotiations are still going on for the show and a possible spinoff.

This is the most surprised I have been cancellation in a long time.

Before Sarah Paulson played Marcia Cross in American Crime Story, she needed a lawyer like her on Law & Order. She looks the same now as she did when she was 19 in that 1994 episode.

Before Jeremy Allen White had an alcoholic mom on The Bear, his mom was a racist on Law & Order. He looks the same now as he did when he was 16 on that 2008 episode.
