CBS has grounded the Fly Team. FBI: International will not return for a fifth season, ending its run with the current fourth season which continues to air on Tuesdays.
Here’s the Lowdown: The procedural drama, part of the FBI franchise, follows the agents of the FBI’s International Fly Team, based in Budapest. The show stars Jesse Lee Soffer, Carter Redwood, Vinessa Vidotto, Eva-Jane Willis, Christina Wolfe, and Jay Hayden. The current season, season four, sees a ratings dip compared to season three, averaging a 0.32 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.82 million viewers.
What This Means Now: Despite being a reasonably solid performer and part of the typically cost-effective Dick Wolf stable, FBI: International fell victim to a crowded CBS schedule. While the main FBI series has been renewed for two more seasons, both FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted were cancelled, making room, possibly, for a new potential spin-off, FBI: CIA.
The Bigger Picture: The cancellation, announced on March 4, 2025, highlights the competitive nature of network television. While the show had a dedicated following, CBS made the tough decision to cut it. There’s talk that Universal TV and Wolf Entertainment will try to find new homes for both cancelled FBI spin-offs. For now, fans can still catch the remaining episodes of the fourth and final season on Tuesdays.
