FBI season 8: Release date, cast and characters, where to watch and more

FBI season 8, the upcoming season of the crime procedural series created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk, is set to premiere on CBS on Monday, October 13, 2025. It will be available for digital streaming on the following day on Paramount+. The show centers around the inner workings of the New York field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 

The narrative follows Special Agent Maggie Bell and her partner Omar Adom “OA” Zidan as they take on major cases — terrorism, organized crime, counterintelligence — using every tool in their arsenal to protect the city and its citizens. Also central to the team are figures like Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, who balance field work and leadership challenges.

With each episode running for approximately 44 minutes, the show has maintained its popularity among audiences. It was renewed by the network for upto season 9 back in 2024, even before the premiere of its seventh season.

Cast and characters appearing in FBI season 8

With some uncertainty surrounding Alana De La Garza’s fate after the Season 7 finale cliffhanger, most of the main cast is expected to return for FBI Season 8. However, the series has seen quite a bit of cast turnover lately.
