After a strong start to Season 1, the CBS drama Central Intelligence Agency The second is locked.
The network has been renewed Central Intelligence Agencya branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for the 2026-27 season. The capture comes just four weeks after the CIA’s live broadcast, which has achieved good ratings numbers so far. This comes after a similar rapid revamp of the network Yellowstone spin off Marshals.
The show’s premiere on February 23 attracted 8.4 million viewers after a week of live broadcast and delayed viewing, and its second episode on March 2 reached 7.6 million viewers. Either way, CIA doubled its initial audience over the course of seven days (the first two episodes averaged 3.78 million and 3.59 million same-day viewers).
Central Intelligence Agency It follows an FBI agent (Nick Gehlfuss) who is loaned to a secret CIA/FBI task force and partnered with one of the agency’s agents (Tom Ellis) with a completely different approach to his job. Nekar Zadegan and Natalie Lenz also star.
The series is produced by Universal Television in association with Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios. CBS had initially scheduled the premiere in the fall of 2025, but moved it back midseason after changes to the show and a relatively slow casting process. Mike Weiss (FBI) is showrunner, having succeeded Warren Leight, who in turn took over for David Hodgins.
Weiss executive produces the series with Wolff, Ken Girotti, Paul Kappad, Nicole Perlman, David Chastain, Anastasia Puglisi and Peter Jankowski.
