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.
