CBS has become the go-to network for crime procedurals, including a whole family of NCIS series and the long-running show FBI. With FBI receiving a multi-season renewal during its sixth season, hereās when audiences can expect FBI to return for its seventh season in 2024.
When Does FBI Return in 2024?
FBI Season 7 has set a premiere date of Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS, serving as a lead-in to its two spinoffs, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted. With FBI Season 6 shortened by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA production strikes in 2023, it is currently unclear if the upcoming seventh season will include more episodes or maintain the shortened length. FBI Season 7 is the first installment of a multi-season renewal by CBS, which has extended the series through a total of nine seasons, significantly reaffirming the networkās commitment to the show.
Co-created by Craig Turk and Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, FBI premiered in September 2018 and quickly became a popular crime procedural hit on CBS. By April 2019, a backdoor pilot for a planned spinoff was produced, leading to the launch of FBI: International as a mid-season premiere in January 2020. A second spinoff series, FBI: Most Wanted, premiered in September 2021, with all three series set to return on CBS and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
