find out more.
Attention FBI fandom! Are you ready for more? If yes, then we are happy to inform you that your favorite show is returning sooner than you think to the CBS network. It’s fair to say that the excitement among the fanbase has not diminished in any way throughout the five seasons, and they continue to anticipate each new episode of FBI eagerly.
And what’s funny is that, typically, these kinds of television series tend to get monotonous and repetitive, which causes viewers to lose interest. This isn’t the case with the FBI, as this highly-rated TV series has a definite aptitude for solid story structure, action, and character development. Overall, this is fantastic news for fans if you like shows related to the genre of crime drama television series.
So, if you’re one of those people who wants to learn more about the release date of the much-anticipated sixth season of CBS’s FBI. Then look no further, as we’ve put together a list of everything you can anticipate as you catch up on the previous seasons before plunging into the upcoming season when it becomes available to stream on the streaming service.
Keep reading to find out if FBI Season 6 will make its debut in June 2023 or not.
FBI Season 6 Release Date: Is it coming to CBS in June 2023?
We would like to point out that the exact launch date has yet to be determined, as the series recently aired the 100th final episode of the fifth season on May 23, 2023. As a result, any statement about the show’s official release date and time slot is still subject to change. The filming of the new episodes will also take later as per the regular summer break.
Hence, there is no way that the new season will return in June 2023! On the bright side, if we consider the prior schedule, then the next season is speculated to be released sometime in the fall of 2023–2024, with September being the likely release window. It is expected to follow a similar schedule, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 8/7c on CBS and later on Paramount Plus.
It’s very likely that the show’s creators will want the new episodes to be released on similar consistent patterns and not be delayed any further, which is a possibility due to the ongoing writer’s strike, which sadly hasn’t reached any resolution and will take more time. Hence, we suggest that the viewers be patient and updated with the latest information for the next season.
In order to receive updates on when the new season premieres, interested viewers can also enable notifications. On the other hand, the official Twitter handle of the show also shared the sixth season’s renewal among its followers, quoting, “Our cast has some fantastic news to share: #FBICBS has been renewed for Season 5 AND Season 6! #TheFBIs” Take a look at the official post below:

FBI Season 6 Plot: What can the fans expect to see in the new season?
Due to an early two-season pickup, not much has been disclosed about the plot, but the new season will definitely explore the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation unit of special agents who bring to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe.
“Everybody who works on these three shows is over the moon about the multi-year pickups,” added Dick Wolf, executive producer, and FBI brand creator. “We are all incredibly grateful to CBS and our partners at Universal Television and CBS Studios. And I personally would like to thank the incredible casts, talented writers, and dedicated producers, not to mention three crews who never missed an airdate despite the difficulties of producing full seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Even though there is no update regarding the exact plotlines of the sixth season, there is no doubt that the new season will continue the plot and character arcs from the finale episode, “God Complex,” of the fifth season, in which the viewers got to see that when a prominent doctor is found dead in a ritualistic slaying, the team must race against time to hunt down a religiously motivated serial killer. Later, Scola faces a life-or-death decision.
“The FBIs are one of the most successful brands in the entire TV landscape and a powerful cornerstone of our number one lineup,” said Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment. “They’ve attracted a dedicated, loyal fan base, thanks to the extraordinary vision of executive producer Dick Wolf and the talents of all three outstanding casts and creative teams. I know we and our viewers look forward to two additional seasons of engaging, heroic stories.”
FBI Season 6 Cast: Who will return in the new season?
The main cast members who are expected to return in the new season are as follows: Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, John Boyd as Special Agent Stuart Scola, Katherine Renee Turner as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace, Alana De La Garza as Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, and Jeremy Sisto as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine. The series is produced by Wolf Entertainment, CBS Studios, and Universal Television.
In addition to this, the recurring cast members who are speculated to return for the new season include Taylor Anthony Miller as Kelly Moran, Vedette Lim as Elise Taylor, James Chen as Ian Lim, Shantel VanSanten as Special Agent Nina Chase, Roshawn Franklin as Agent Trevor Hobbs, Mara Davi as Samantha Kelton, Caleb Reese Paul as Tyler Kelton, and Emily Donahoe as CIA Rep Anne Potter. Moreover, Dick Wolf, Arthur W. Forney, Peter Jankowski, and Turk serve as executive producers.
FBI Season 6 Episodes: Where can you stream?
The series has received a 22-episode order from the network with an average runtime of 44 minutes, just like the prior seasons, which are expected to drop on a weekly basis. This episode count is accurate if you are familiar with the show’s history. You’ll know that the show tends to take mid-season breaks, which is perfect for rolling out the episodes on a proper schedule. On the other hand, the official episode title and synopsis will be revealed later in order to avoid early spoilers!
When available, the episodes will air on CBS and later on Paramount Plus, just like the prior seasons. The viewers can also catch up on all the seasons on FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, and YouTube TV. Moreover, FBI is also available for rent or purchase on Amazon Instant Video and Vudu, with a vast number of membership plans according to user preferences. Moreover, the series is also available to watch exclusively on CBS’s official website, where the episodes are published after they air on the TV channel.
