The Dick Wolf TV universe is expanding once again in the 2026 TV schedule, with CIA joining FBI on Monday nights after FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International were cancelled. Details about the new series have gone back and forth on how closely tied CIA will be to FBI, with all signs seemingly pointing towards two different worlds. Now, CBS dropped some exciting news: an FBI character is crossing over in the series premiere to officially connect the two shows.
The freshman drama stars Lucifer's Tom Ellis as the only somewhat devilish CIA Agent Colin Glass and Chicago Med's Nick Gehlfuss in his return to the Wolf world to play FBI Agent Bill Goodman. Since plans for CIA to launch as an FBI backdoor pilot were scrapped (along with the dubious title of FBI: CIA), Gehlfuss' character never appeared in the parent show, and the original showrunner told CinemaBlend "it is its own show," there seemed to be as strong a line between FBI and CIA as between FBI and Law & Order.
