The FBI franchise, also known as The FBIs, is an American media franchise composed of four fictional television series on CBS. It began with the premiere of FBI in 2018 and has since been expanded with spin-offs FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International, and CIA. All four series are produced by Wolf Entertainment.
Multiple characters have appeared in more than one series of the franchise through occasional crossover appearances and the franchise has also had crossover events. The franchise is also connected to Wolf Entertainment's Chicago franchise and the Law & Order franchise, through an appearance by Tracy Spiridakos in FBI, as her character from Chicago P.D.
Television series FBI (2018–present)
The first series in the FBI franchise focuses on the inner workings of the New York office criminal division 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. FBI: Most Wanted (2020–2025)
Most Wanted centers on the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Fugitive Task Force (FTF), a small and unique team designed to track and capture notorious fugitives on the Bureau's Most Wanted List. The series is more about profiling and analyzing fugitives in order to catch them unlike FBI and FBI: International which are more about the crime and the investigation. FBI: International (2021–2025)
International follows the elite operatives in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) International Fly Team (IFT) which is headquartered in Budapest. They are charged with locating and neutralizing threats against American interests in Europe.
CIA (2026–present)
Spin-off focusing on a partnership between an FBI agent and a CIA agent who work together on a clandestine taskforce to prevent domestic terrorism in New York.
