CIA is only three weeks into its run on CBS in the 2026 TV schedule, but the network's new Monday night drama is already putting one agent in life-or-death danger without any backup by their side to help. With the odd couple of FBI Agent Bill Goodman (Chicago Med's Nick Gehlfuss) and CIA Agent Colin Glass (Lucifer's Tom Ellis) an ocean away, Necar Zadegan spoke with CinemaBlend about Nikki having to lean on her team from afar with impossibly high stakes. Zadegan opened up ahead of the third episode, airing on March 9 and streaming next day with a Paramount+ subscription. Called "Bridge of Lies," the episode will see Nikki insisting on traveling to Hong Kong to bring home a U.S. intelligence officer who had been deeply embedded. Unfortunately for her, Nikki's cover will be blown, and her team back in NYC will have to find a way to help her. Well, here's hoping that Bill and Colin are able to work as a team this week, because Nikki is going to need their A-game! When I spoke with the NCIS: New Orleans alum about the big episode for her character, she weighed in on the importance of trust in such a high-stakes but shadowy business. She shared:
Trust is everything for everybody, always in every relationship. If you don't have trust, you have nothing, and that's kind of across the board. So it's no different in this relationship, in fact, because these characters are so private and so unable to really share so much, the trust becomes paramount, even more so because you can't even ask for it.
