As a TV critic, I’ve been watching the FBI franchise closely, and things looked a little different heading into the 2025-2026 season. After a couple of planned spinoffs fell through, CBS was left with just the original FBI show to start things off. They had hoped to launch a new CIA series alongside it, but faced a series of delays. Thankfully, it’s now scheduled to premiere in February, and the first trailer has given us a look at Ellis’ Hart Hoxton and Nick Gehlfuss, who plays FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman. It seems CBS is still committed to expanding the universe, just on a slightly different timeline.
