Well, it would certainly be sad news if FBI was drawing to a close but thankfully, that's not a reality that the show's fans have to reckon with as it was renewed for season 9 last year as part of a multi-season renewal.
That renewal meant that fans could rest easy in the fact that FBI would be on our screens throughout 2026 and 2027. But now that season 8 is done and dusted in the US, many may be wondering just how long of a gap it'll be between seasons.
Wondering when FBI season 9 will land on our screens? Read on for everything we know so far.
FBI season 9 release date speculation
FBI. CBS Broadcasting Inc.
As of now, there's no confirmed release date for FBI season 9, but we do know that the series will return to US screens sometime in fall 2026.
It was previously said that the ninth season will premiere in the autumn months of 2026, with it set to conclude in spring 2027.
We're sure CBS will confirm the exact release date sometime soon, seeing as autumn really isn't that far away. As for UK fans, FBI airs on Sky Witness and NOW, with new season 8 episodes being released every week. So, we'll likely see a bit of a delay when it comes to a UK release, but watch this space.
At the time of its renewal, Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, said: "The All-FBI Tuesday is a powerful force to be reckoned with on our primetime schedule.
"Dick Wolf and the talent in front of and behind the camera on all three series continue to deliver top-notch storytelling, riveting action and intrigue that has captivated a dedicated fanbase steadily across multiple seasons. We are excited to see what next season holds for all these heroic characters."
FBI season 9 cast speculation: Who might return?
Season 8 kicked off in a very dramatic fashion for Isobel, who had survived an explosion at the end of season 7, but suffered some serious injuries of her own. Some fans understandably feared the worst as she spent several days in a coma, but, thankfully, she ultimately survived.
While she was offered a promotion, she couldn't leave her team, so we can certainly expect Alana De La Garza back for season 9, as well as the rest of the main cast.
One of the more recent cast members that we won't be seeing is Dani Rhodes (Emily Alabi), who we met in season 7, but sadly died in Scola's arms during the season 8 premiere after being shot during a hostage situation.
Here's a list of the cast members we are expecting to see in season 9:
- Missy Peregrym as Maggie Bell
- Zeeko Zaki as Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan
- Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine
- John Boyd as Stuart Scola
- Alana De La Garza as Isobel Castille
- Juliana Aidén Martinez as Eva Ramos
