What is the show about?
FBI was created by Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind the Law & Order franchise.
FBI follows a typical crime-procedural format, similar to shows like Law & Order, CSI, and Criminal Minds.
The series focuses on the day-to-day operations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's field office in New York City.
Featuring an ensemble cast, multiple special agents interact with one another and work together to solve crimes.
"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," as ,
The agents investigate a variety of cases, ranging from organized crime and counterintelligence to terrorism and serial killers.
The show premiered on September 25, 2018, with a 22-episode first season that concluded on May 14, 2019.
Since then, the show has remained on air for five seasons, with only the occasional hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and the SAG-AFTRA and Writer's Guild strikes in 2023.
Unlike other shows in the Dick Wolf universe, like the Chicago One franchise, viewers seldom learn about the characters' personal lives, and primarily see them only at the office or in the field.
However, the show's sixth season may usher in some changes to the show, like showing the agents' lives outside of work.

The show typically airs weekly on CBS at 8 pm ET.
It will be followed by the season three premiere of FBI: International at 9 pm ET, and the season five premiere of FBI: Most Wanted at 10 pm ET.
