Although the cancelation ofFBI: Most WantedandFBI: Internationalis disappointing, both TV series still have many episodes left in their respective seasons to close out their stories.CBS announced its decision to end the twoFBIfranchise showsin March 2025, a couple of months before their finales are expected to air. As one might expect, this news has frustrated most fans ofFBI: Most WantedandFBI: International, especially sincethe flagship series will continue and a third spinoff —FBI: CIA— is in the works,and will likely get picked up for the 2025–2026 TV season.
New episodes ofFBI: Internationalseason 4 air on Tuesdays at 9 pm ET, followed byFBI: Most Wantedseason 6 at 10 pm ET on CBS.
CBS' cancelingFBI: Most WantedandFBI: Internationalisn’t all that surprising, though. The network has to make cuts to fit new TV series and spinoffs (andevery show CBS has already renewed) into its programming lineup for the 2025–2026 season. Unfortunately,the twoFBIspinoffs aren’t performing as well as CBS' other dramas,making it easier for the network to cut them and make room for highly anticipated TV series likeSheriff CountryandBoston Blue.

Can Most Wanted & International Have Satisfying Endings Given Their Remaining Episodes?
The FBI Spinoffs Haven’t Finished Filming Yet
It might not seem like it, but there is a positive that fans can take away fromCBS cancelingFBI: Most WantedandFBI: International. The network could have easily decided to ax the TV series following their respective series finales in May 2025, meaning either could have concluded on cliffhangers. Instead,CBS has given the writers and producers time to construct fulfilling endings for the two police procedural TV shows.

NeitherFBI: Most Wantedseason 6 norFBI: Internationalseason 4 have completed production. Consequently, the writers can reconstruct what they had planned for their series finales to ensure that every storyline is wrapped up by the time theFBIspinoffs officially end. Unfortunately,the last-minute change to create satisfying conclusions might lead to rushed finales.It all depends on the writers (and if they were prepared to include cliffhangers in their last episodes). Fans will just have to wait and see ifFBI: Most Wantedand/orFBI: Internationalhave gratifying endings, or if CBS' canceling the two shows irrevocably doomed them.
