CBS canceled The Equalizer, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International in recent weeks, and the woman in charge of CBS has now spoken out about the decisions to end these three shows.
CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach spoke about the three shows during Wednesday’s new CBS 2025-26 schedule announcement. She said the following, according to Deadline:
“It’s not easy to end shows and we had a lot of options this year. The schedule is really full and so we always have to look at all of our shows, look at the aggregate information, the creative of where they are in their life cycle, what the finances look like, what the ratings are, and then we make those tough decisions.
“We love working with Dick Wolf and we’re so excited to bring CIA onto the schedule. We have to be fiscally responsible and ultimately, those deals and the shows just weren’t penciling out for us from an economic perspective. But we want to be in the business with Dick. We’re excited to launch a new two-hour block next season.”
FBI and CIA will join CBS’ Monday schedule next season alongside the final season of The Neighborhood and the new arrival DMV.
What do you think? Were you upset by the cancellations of The Equalizer, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International? Which show will you miss the most?
FBI international and most wanted are amazing. Stupid idea canceling them!
Why do they always cancel good shows and put on horrible shows to replace it. They wonder why everyone streams now, there are no good shows left to watch. Sorry to hear that they have canceled two FBI’s. I looked forward to Tuesday just for those shows.
FBI Most Wanted, a great show. Bad idea.
I have watched every episode of all 3 FBI’s Unhappy about losing 2 of them. Why do they always cancel the good ones only to replace them with a crappy ones?

Won’t be watching any new shows on CBS. Especially not anything CIA related.
Definitely disappointed in the dropping of the 2 FBI series, loved watching all three together. Can’t figure out why some of the popular shows get canned and it always seems like the ones we watch.
I looked forward to Tuesday night watching the FBI series. Why are they being cancelled.
Will miss all of these shows a lot .
Definetly very upset for FBI Int’l and FBI most Wanted cancellations. Good shows out & leaving on air stupid shows CBS do this all time
Equalizer is a great show. Instead of remaking awful shows you should keep making the good ones!
I will definitely miss Equalizer. Loved that show.
The Equalizer should never have been cancelled, Dante & Robin just got together. Why are you doing this? Change your mind please!!
I will miss the Equalizer. One of my favorite shows the past few years.
FBI INTERNATIONAL is my favorite!! It needs to continue for many more seasons.
