FBI: Most Wanted

FBI is an American crime drama television series created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk that airs on CBS, where it premiered on September 25, 2018.[2] The series is produced by CBS Television Studios and Universal Television, with Wolf, Arthur W. Forney, Peter Jankowski, and Turk serving as executive producers.

The series features an ensemble cast including Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, Jeremy Sisto, Ebonée Noel, Sela Ward and Alana de la Garza. FBI received a straight-to-series commission for 13 episodes on September 20, 2017.[3] On October 11, 2018, it was announced that the series had received a full season order from CBS.[4] In January 2019, CBS renewed the series for a second season which premiered on September 24, 2019.[5][6]

Premise

The series centers on inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect, and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multi-generational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom "O. A." Zidan, a West Point graduate from Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI. Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge Dana Mosier, who operates under intense pressure 24/7/365 and has undeniable command authority. The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen Chazal is the team's most valued resource, a brilliant analyst recruited straight out of college who can piece together the big picture faster than anyone. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases including terrorism, organized crime, and counterintelligence.[7]

Production

Development

The origins of the series go back to the Television Critics Association summer 2016 press tour, where Wolf revealed plans for a crime drama series, placed in New York and set in the world of the FBI. Wolf's original plan was to introduce it on the NBC network as a planned spin-off to his New York crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, where it was intended to introduce an FBI agent character, but NBC ultimately did not go through with it and the idea was later put on hold for different reasons. It's Wolf's first drama series to launch on a network other than NBC in 15 years. CBS officially picked up to series on September 20, 2017. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios and Universal Television.[56]

On January 25, 2019, during the TCA press tour, FBI was renewed for a second season,[5] which is set to premiere on September 24, 2019.[6] On May 7, 2019, following the renewal it was announced that Milena Govich joined as co-executive producer and director.[57]

Casting

On March 1, 2018, Zeeko Zaki was cast as Omar Adom.[9] A week later, Jeremy Sisto was cast as Jubal,[10] including Ebonée Noel also cast as Kristin.[11] Before the end of the month, Missy Peregrym had joined the cast as Maggie.[8] The FBI Special Agent in Charge in the first episode ("Pilot") was Ellen Solberg, played by Connie Nielsen. On May 16, 2018, the day of scheduling the series for fall 2018, Nielsen was announced to have left the series for undisclosed reasons.[58][59]

On July 13, 2018, Sela Ward was cast in the second episode as Dana Mosier who fulfills a similar role to Connie Nielsen who was in the first episode.[12] During the season finale, it was indicated that Ward would be departing the series after the first season.[13] On July 9, 2019, Alana de la Garza—who played Isobel Castille in a guest appearance in the first season—was promoted to the main cast for the second season; she will continue to recur on the spin-off series FBI: Most Wanted.[14]

On August 6, 2019, John Boyd was cast as Special Agent Stuart Scola, Kristin's new partner in the field, in a recurring role with the option to be promoted to regular at a later date.[15] Boyd was promoted to regular on October 7, 2019. [16]
