“CIA,” a spinoff of the "FBI" franchise, has been renewed for Season 2 at CBS.
The police procedural from “Law & Order” legend Dick Wolf premiered on February 23 and scored 8.4 million multiplatform viewers across broadcast and streaming in its first week, according to Nielsen.
“CIA” follows by-the-book FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman, played by Nick Gehlfuss, who is loaned out to a secretive CIA/FBI task force and must team up with the roguish CIA Agent Colin Glass (Tom Ellis).
“Together they will work covert operations in New York, uncovering international plots, terrorist cells and geopolitical secrets,” per the logline. “On CIA, Bill will learn the rules of this murky world on the fly as Colin leads him deeper into spy games where only one thing is clear — their work keeps America safe, even if no one will ever know what they did in the shadows.”
In addition to Gehlfuss and Ellis, Natalee Linez stars as CIA analyst Gina Gosian and Necar Zadegan play Nikki Reynard, the deputy chief of the CIA’s New York branch.
The show also features actors from the “FBI” franchise who have crossed over, including Jeremy Sisto, James Chen, Missy Peregrym, and Alana de la Garza.
“CIA” is created by Wolf, David Hudgins, Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen, and Warren Leight.
Executive producers are Peter Jankowski, Anastasia Puglisi, Perlman, Chasteen, Paul Cabbad, Ken Girotti, Mike Weiss, and Wolf.
The show is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios. “CIA” airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+.
