CBS's well-known FBI series, which include FBI, FBI: International, and FBI: Most Wanted, have kept viewers hooked with their exciting cases and personal stories. These shows, which air on Tuesday evenings, are popular among fans of crime dramas, offering thrilling suspense and deep character stories every week.

The main series, FBI, recently left fans hanging with a cliffhanger involving Jubal, whose actions got him suspended. Meanwhile, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International added interesting personal stories alongside their intense cases.

These twists have made fans eager to see what happens next. However, viewers tuning in on November 26, 2024, were surprised to find no new episodes airing.

This week, CBS decided to take a break and show old episodes instead of new ones. The decision aligns with the Thanksgiving holiday week, where travel and celebrations often result in lower viewership. As such, CBS strategically decided to delay fresh episodes, ensuring they reach a broader audience when viewership is expected to be higher.


CBS re-runs episodes of the FBI series

Instead of new episodes, CBS aired re-runs from past seasons of the FBI series on November 26, 2024. The episodes include FBI season 6, episode 10; FBI: International season 3, episode 10; and FBI: Most Wanted season 5, episode 3. These re-runs might help remind viewers of past stories or showcase popular episodes during the break.

The re-runs were scheduled to air during Thanksgiving holiday week when television ratings typically decline due to pre-holiday activities. CBS likely aimed to maintain audience engagement while preserving the new episodes for after the post-holiday period.


When will the FBI series return with new episodes?

FBI series fans won't have to wait too long for new episodes. The break is short, with all three shows coming back on CBS on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. This is a quicker return compared to many other fall shows, which often take a longer break until next year.

The upcoming episodes will explore more of the characters' personal and professional lives, while also introducing new, exciting cases. The break might be brief, but it builds up the excitement for what's coming next in each show.


What to expect from the upcoming episodes?

When the FBI returns, viewers will see the team grappling with Jubal’s suspension and its impact on their operations. Maggie will step up as a leader while taking care of Ella and trying to catch a serial killer targeting women. This part of the story will show more about Maggie's character and how she handles work and personal life.

In FBI: International, the Fly Team goes to Morocco to find a bus full of kidnapped American volunteers. This episode will be filled with action and new challenges with local police, and it will also show more about the relationship between Vo and Mitchell.

Meanwhile, in FBI: Most Wanted, Hana feels tension in her relationship because she thinks her partner Ethan is hiding something. The team will also work on a big case in Philadelphia, where an international beauty pageant winner is killed on live TV. This storyline could potentially introduce a new long-term mystery.


The return of the FBI series on December 3, 2024, ensures that fans have plenty to look forward to as these gripping storylines unfold. Fans may subscribe to CBS or its streaming platform Paramount + to watch the show.
