"FBI" was renewed for three seasons last year and is currently in its second confirmed season, Season 8.

This renewal ensures its run through the 2026–2027 network television schedule.

"FBI" Season 8 officially premieres on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/8:00 PM CT on CBS.

This change also marks the start of "FBI Show" airing on its own, no longer as part of the franchise's three-hour block.New episodes of "FBI" Season 8 will air weekly on Mondays in the same timeslot.

For viewers who prefer to stream the show digitally, episodes will be available on Paramount+ the day after their television broadcast.

Core cast members expected to return for "The FBI Show" Season 8 include Missy Peregrym as Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as Omar Adom "OA" Zidan, Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine, and Alana De La Garza as Isobel Castille.

Additionally, John Boyd as Stuart Scola, Taylor Anthony Miller as Kelly Moran, Vedette Lim as Elise Taylor, and James Chen as Ian Lim will also return.

Season 7 ended on a cliffhanger regarding the fate of Isobel Castille (Alana De La Garza), who was knocked unconscious after being exposed to the blast.

Showrunner Mike Weiss confirmed that Season 8 will begin just three days after the incident, and that answers about Isobel's fate will not be revealed immediately.

Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) will take on a new leadership role as Isobel's SAC, suggesting that Isobel may still be alive and recovering.

Scola's partner change was one of the major surprises in "The FBI" Season 8. Emily Alabi's character, Dani Rhodes, died shockingly in the premiere episode, "Takeover."

Rhodes was shot while providing support and subsequently collapsed from a hidden abdominal wound, leading to her death.

Following Alabi's departure, "The FBI" introduced Juliana Aidén Martinez as a new character who will partner with Scola going forward.

Martinez was confirmed to join the regular cast for Season 8 and is expected to fill the void as Scola's partner, bringing a new dynamic to the team.

The premiere episode of "The FBI" Season 8, titled "Takeover," centers on the disappearance of a federal judge.

The FBI team's investigation reveals that the judge is searching for his missing son on a remote island off the coast of the city.

The island is described as a place where authority has collapsed, adding to the complexity of the case.

In addition to the main case, "The FBI" Season 8 also explores Jubal Valentine's personal challenges.

Reality weighs on Jubal as he takes on a new leadership role as SAC for Isobel.

This new role demands greater responsibility and may present intense moral dilemmas and professional pressures.

The FBI team must work tirelessly to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the federal judge and the condition of her son.
