Is FBI Season 5 coming to CBS in August 2022?
As of August 1, 2022, we can assure readers that FBI Season 5 won’t be available on CBS this August 2022.

FBI Season 5 Plot
The main premise of the series follows, “In order to keep New York and the nation secure, the FBI employs a unit of special agents located in New York who use all of their skills, knowledge, and technical know-how to challenging investigations. Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, Jeremy Sisto, Alana De La Garza, John Boyd, and Katherine Renee Turner are among the cast members of the action-packed thriller. After revealing her pregnancy in April, Peregrym, who stars in the series as Special Agent Maggie Bell, took a temporary leave of absence.”
The fifth season’s plotlines are unknown, but fans have assumed they will continue the Season 4 storyline. Some viewers worry that the plot may have a loophole as a result of the cancellation of episode 22, but this is not a serious concern at this time because the show’s creators will undoubtedly address it in the following season.
Additionally, as it was the final episode of the season, some changes to the plot would have been made in order to maintain the series’ overall narrative flow and prevent any major plot gaps. Moreover, many of the episodes have been favorably welcomed by viewers and die-hard fans, luring people in to watch the series when it airs on television or via streaming service.
Meanwhile, we suggest fans to patiently wait and binge-watch Season 4, which recently aired, in order to update their recollection of certain significant plotlines and keep an eye out for details that will release in the coming weeks about the series’ episode titles and synopsis. Take a look at the FBI: Most Wanted Season 4 official trailer below:

FBI Season 5 Cast Updates
FBI Season 5 will see Missy Peregrym return, but not straight away. We anticipate Maggie will return in the middle of the season or in the fall, as she won’t be able to until then. On Instagram, Peregrym declared that she would resume filming in the autumn. Take a look at the post with a message to the fans below:

For the upcoming autumn season, as stated above, the production of the three FBI shows has already begun. TV shows typically begin filming in July for a September premiere, so with a fall return, Maggie’s appearance on the show might happen as early as November. Depending on how late Peregrym returns to filming in the fall, Maggie’s arrival might not be until January 2023. Fans just have to wait and see how the character will be introduced after the temporary hiatus.
