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?
This is pure insanity. You can cancel the FBIs, but you keep pushing reality shows, which are pure garbage. Keep FBI, FBI Int’l.
how can you cancel FBI: International and keep NCIS: Origins…which is dreadful
Makes no sense to cancel FBI Int’l. and Most Wanted only to make FBI CIA. Won’t watch.
How could you cancel FBI:International…its a great show and have been watching it since the beginning. If its going off then its due to the cast changes – since the original guy left and Jesse came aboard things have not been the same. CBS is getting rid of all the good shows and putting crap on like reality shows. Nobody likes them. Keep FBI and keep it on CBS
I totally agree. And I actually liked the new characters. I’m cancelling CBS too they’ve taken all the best shows off the air nothing worthing watching if they take the FBI’s off
Very sad to see these shows canceled. I will need to try a differen5 station
CBS is not worth watching anymore.
The scheduling with sports is dire when their are sports channels.
Just so easy to forget to switch back.
Got a subscription to Paramount and Acorn.
Watching shows I am prepared to pay for.
Now you have done it! The very show that is good and worth watching you want to cancel it because of some great idea of another show you haven’t even tested with the public yet. I’m pissed and irritated. Leave shows alone that are good!
Everyone pls boycott CBS if possible. That’s all they ever do is cancel some of the best shows out there. The station is nothing but garbage.
What a great show!
I am glad to see it go. I love the other two but this one was really at the bottom. The story alot of times was just not great.
It was the only FBI I really did not enjoy. Most wanted is the best one.
Why do these people cancel good shows they don’t care what the fans like just terrible
I love FBI International. How could u cancel it? I love the stories, I love the characters. Please, please bring it back.
I am saddened to hear of the cancellations of FBI Most Wanted and FBI International. They are both excellent shows that should not be cancelled.
Cancel shows like Survivor which in my opinion is absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous. Same goes for all Bachelor shows which again are overrated in my opinion.
It is truly awful that you did this waited all week for Tuesday night I think it is a big mistake k e to take off any FBI PLEASE reconsider
