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?
There are many other shows you can cancel like Ghosts for starters. Leave the FBI series alone. Guess I will be canceling CBS… I looked forward to Tuesday nights
Good, now maybe Jay Halstead can come back to Chicago P.D.
I am going to stop watching CBS they keep canceling all the good shows
CBS we just cancelled Paramount+ as well will not watch CBS reality, junk shows. Bcs better listen to the viewers stop cancelling shows we watch. All FBI series are great watch with family.
Now we will not watch CBS at all.
We love FBI international!! We never miss it! We love NCIS origins, so we are happy that it is continuing. CBS has cancelled too many great shows. We don’t watch ABC or NBC. CBS is the only one that has good shows. Don’t cancel ones we watch guys!!
(we loved NCIS Hawaii, Blue Bloods and FBI International. We love 2 new ones – NCIS origins and Matlock. We continue to love NCIS, FBI and Tracker)
Move the FBI’ s to a different network, not streaming.
I love the FBI series leave them alone
Disappointed about the FBI cancellations. Love Georgie and Mandy, but 2 years renewal of that brainless Ghosts is really pushing it.
So true! Ghosts is ridiculous and should be cancelled rather than the FBI series.
I’m sorry to hear that F. B. I internationals being canceled. I just started watching again because of the new guy coming over from Chicago P. D.
I hope they’re able to find another channel.I would like to continue watching it:-(
CBS SUCKS!
Please don’t cancel international and most wanted. They were something different to watch. I don’t watch much tv because most of them are all the same at least these were a cut above the rest.
nooooooooooo
BOOOOO I Love the FBI Shows. CBS has canceled so many good shows in the past year in half. Can’t believe it. Very very disappointed and mad. Can’t you guys get it together. Cancel 2 good ones and than start a new one? You guys are crazy. Mismanaged and poor business decisions. Gonna stop watching their shows cuz why get involved when all they are gonna do is cancel them. Shame on CBS!!!!!!!!
International was the best of the three. Unique stories and great characters
I looked forward to Tuesdays to watch the FABio’s. Why not cancel some of these terribly stupid shows that you air on Thursday,!
