The Fly Team won’t be heading out for more missions in the 2025-26 season. FBI: International has been cancelled so viewers won’t be seeing a fifth season on CBS. The fourth and final season will continue airing on Tuesdays.
A procedural drama series, the FBI: International TV show is the second spin-off in the FBI franchise and stars Jesse Lee Soffer, Carter Redwood, Vinessa Vidotto, Eva-Jane Willis, and Christina Wolfe. Jay Hayden recurs. The story follows the elite operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s International Fly Team. Headquartered in Budapest, they travel the world to track and neutralize threats against American citizens wherever they may be. They put their lives on the line to protect the U.S. and its people. Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell (Soffer) is the Fly Team’s new supervisory leader. Special Agent Andre Raines (Redwood) shines in the field and uses his accounting background well, while Special Agent Cameron Vo (Vidotto) excels at interrogation and strategy. Megan “Smitty” Garretson (Willis) is a streetwise Europol agent with an extensive undercover background and liaises with each host country they inhabit. Newly embedded with the Fly Team is Special Agent Amanda Tate (Wolfe), a confident and tech-savvy intel analyst who stays quick on her feet and remains calm amid chaos.
Airing on Tuesday nights, the fourth season of FBI: International averages a 0.32 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.82 million viewers (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 15% in the demo and down by 9% in viewership.
International is currently one of the network’s middle-of-the-road scripted series in the ratings but is still performing decently and Dick Wolf’s shows are known for being economically produced. The cancellation likely came down to CBS executives having a limited number of timeslots on the schedule for 2025-26. Earlier this month, the network renewed most of its scripted series.
The network has already renewed the flagship FBI series for eighth and ninth seasons, but CBS has cancelled both FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.
The cancellations boost the chances of a potential new show, FBI: CIA, being picked to series. The project is currently being cast and will air as a backdoor pilot episode of the FBI.
Word is that Universal TV and Wolf Entertainment will be shopping both cancelled shows elsewhere.
What do you think? Have you kept up with this CBS drama series? Are you sad that FBI: International wasn’t renewed for a fifth season?
Kinda disappointing we liked all 3 of them.
Cbs sucks. Fbi is good tv
This is pathetic. They are canceling perfect good shows lately and it’s sad.
Very disappointed!! I enjoy all 3 FBI’s,especially International..please do not fill the slots with reality, game or comedy shows!!
Would rather keep the FBI series

So sad for my FBI Tuesdays
It shouldn’t be cut fbi international, it’s very nice.The fbi most wanted It wasn’t very nice but I liked Nina, I wish she had joined the original series since she became famous.
More and more CBS cancels the good quality programming and airs programs I find to be of less interest and not as engaging. They keep doing this they will loose me for what little I still watch. Last comment Friday night should still finish with Blue Bloods. You lost my viewing for the entire night due to that cancelation.
This really sucks! How annoying CBS!!
Very very disappointed that CBS is AGAIN getting us hooked on some very well written dramas and then canceling them. Love all 3 FBI shows and DONT want them canceled!! What is wrong with this network!?
Will miss FBI International n not FBI Wanted. The gruesome shows on FBI Wanted n the characters were less intriguing than FBI International.
With Blue Bloods now off n now this, my favorite TV Shows are sadly gone.
What the heck always cancelling good shows and keeping stupid reality shows. You could at least put them on Paramount+.
We are very sad that two FBI shows have been cancelled!!!
Wow! Tuesday night won’t be the same. It was nice to watch FBI series shows back to back on one night. I’ll probably be channel surfing after watching the original FBI show
If you keep canceling shows, I’ll cancel my subscription to paramount +! No threat, just ask Promise!
