CBS Renews CIA for Second Season After Strong Premiere

CBS has renewed its new police procedural series "CIA" for a second season, just weeks after the show's February 23 premiere drew strong viewership numbers. The announcement, made Monday, ensures the FBI spinoff will continue into the 2026-27 television season, building on its early success in the Monday 10 p.m. ET/PT time slot.

The series, created by Dick Wolf along with David Hudgins, Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen and Warren Leight, follows FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman, a by-the-book investigator played by Nick Gehlfuss. Loaned to a clandestine CIA-FBI task force, Goodman partners with the secretive and roguish CIA operative Colin Glass, portrayed by Tom Ellis. The duo conducts covert operations in New York, exposing international plots, terrorist cells and geopolitical secrets. As the official description notes, Goodman navigates the shadowy world of espionage under Glass's guidance, where "their work keeps America safe, even if no one will ever know what they did in the shadows."

Supporting the leads are Natalee Linez as CIA analyst Gina Gosian and Necar Zadegan as Nikki Reynard, the deputy chief of the CIA's New York branch. The cast also features crossover appearances...
