FBI season 7: Release date and latest news

According to Deadline, Olivera will play Syd, a trained behavioural analysis unit agent who is about to rotate into the field.

How long she's sticking around for is yet to be seen, but there's certainly the potential that fans will get to know her over the next few years, as FBI has not only been renewed for its seventh season, but also for seasons 8 and 9.

But what can fans expect from season 7, who else from the cast is in and who is out, and when can UK fans expect it to arrive on Sky Witness? Read on for everything you need to know about FBI season 7.

FBI season 7 release date

FBI season 7 is premiering on CBS on Tuesday 15th October at 8pm. It will then be followed by the season premieres of both FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted with new episodes expected to be released weekly in the same slot.

Deadline previously reported that FBI (as well as FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International) will air in the 2024/25 season. As of now, a UK release date has not yet been confirmed.

Speaking to The Direct, Jeremy Sisto did reveal more about when they'll start filming the new season and said that production "usually starts [s] mid-July".

There's also been a change of showrunner for the new season as Death and Other Details co-creator/executive producer Mike Weiss has joined FBI as executive producer and showrunner.

He's no stranger to working on Dick Wolf productions, having served as co-executive producer on seasons 3 and 4 of Chicago PD so we'll just have to wait and see what this new season has in store for us!

FBI season 7 cast: Who will return?

As for who will return in the new season of FBI, we'd expect all the main players to – but there's been an update on some cast members having reduced roles in season 7.

According to Deadline, some series regulars on FBI (and its spin-off FBI: Most Wanted) will have their minimum guaranteed appearances trimmed by two episodes next season.

This is part of a budget-saving exercise that has also recently hit long-running medical drama Grey's Anatomy, though we're sure it won't have too much of an impact on character stories - but we'll just have to wait and see.

It's since been announced that Katherine Renee Kane's Tiffany Wallace will be exiting the series in season 7, and is set to appear in just one more episode before her departure.

In August, Kane told Deadline of her departure: "It was time to look towards new creative endeavours. I’m excited for the future and wish the show all the best."

Lisette Olivera has now been confirmed to star as new agent Syd, who may have plenty of desk experience.

While we'd imagine that there will be some new characters joining the series, the main FBI cast that we'd expect to make a return in season 7 is as follows:

• Missy Peregrym as Maggie Bell
• Zeeko Zaki as Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan
• Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine
• John Boyd as Stuart Scola
• Alana De La Garza as Isobel Castille
• Lisette Olivera as Syd

What will FBI season 7 be about?

We're sure season 7 will pick back up after the dramatic season 6 finale of FBI but as for whether it will do so directly afterwards or pick back up after a chunk of time has elapsed, we'll have to see.

The season tied up many loose ends going into the finale, including terrorist organisation leader Hakim Siran, and even featured the return of Missy Peregym as Maggie.

Speaking about the season 6 finale, series star Zeeko Zaki told Screen Rant: "The final episode is a full-circle moment from our first episode, which is really exciting.

"We don't usually leave cliffhangers or villains that get away, so it's nice to get an opportunity to close that loop. It's also great to, again, just show how strong of a team we are and to show our unity through multiple characters' perspectives.

"This is definitely a fun chapter closing on a pretty intense villain and what he did to us, and what he did to one of our own, and things like that. It's just going to be a very well-earned 'getting that guy' moment."

As for what season 7 will be about and who could be returning, we're sure – as is usually the case – the series will continue to adopt its 'new case per week', format with some kind of overarching bad guy or villain set to be nabbed at the last minute. We can't wait!
