More about the show
Overview
The New York office of the FBI brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep their city and the country safe.
FBI (2018-present) is a American network crime procedural series created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk for CBS. Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) and Omar Adom Zidan (Zeeko Zaki) lead a New York field office team that brings every technical and investigative resource it has to bear on major cases threatening the city and the country. Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) and Dana Mosier (Sela Ward) add weight to the squad's chain of command, while Isobel Castille (Alana de la Garza) and Stuart Scola (John Boyd) round out the core ensemble. Each episode is built around a fresh investigation with a clear sequence of leads, interviews, surveillance, and tense confrontations, from foot chases to gunfights, that resolves within a single hour. The show runs as an ongoing serialized procedural across nine seasons, so personal storylines and team dynamics carry forward between cases. Its tone is brisk, earnest, and reassuring, with a steady faith in competence and duty. Fans of Law & Order, Chicago P.D., and NCIS will find the same blend of urban crime, federal authority, and reliable teamwork here.
