Warning: spoilers are ahead for Episode 4 of FBI Season 8, called "Manifest" and available streaming next day with a Paramount+ subscription.
FBI is generally one of the most procedural shows in primetime, but the CBS drama may have just introduced an ongoing big bad in the 2025 TV schedule. He has all the hallmarks of a great villain: smart, scary, ruthless, and a close call with killing one of the main characters. It's also easy to believe that the team might not be able to catch him right away. He sets up an interesting storyline for FBI, but a fugitive with global reach just makes me think of FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International, and all the characters who could be great guest stars despite the spinoffs getting cancelled.
