FBI Season 8 premieres on Monday, October 13, 2025, on CBS at 9/8c! It features the lead actors, Missy Peregrym playing Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki playing Special Agent OA Zidan, Jeremy Sisto playing Special Agent Jubal Valentine, Alana De La Garza playing Special Agent Isobel Castille, and John Boyd playing Special Agent Stuart Scola.
In addition, Juliana Aidene Martinez is also involved with a new role in the absence of Katherine Renee Kane (Tiffany) and Lisette Olivera (Syd), who quit after Season 7. There is no official confirmation of her actual character name and backstory, but she is expected to be playing an important role in the group.
Season 8 is accompanied by scheduling and spinoff revisions. The program has changed its day to Mondays at 9/8c p.m. rather than Tuesdays. The spin-offs of the CBS FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted, were canceled, and the new spin-off FBI: CIA was shifted to midseason.
The changes allow FBI Season 8 to focus on the core team and their ongoing investigations to the fullest extent and the relations among the agents, which are unfolding.
Returning cast members
The lead characters in the previous seasons are confirmed to appear in FBI season 8. Missy Peregrym continues to play Maggie Bell and she is the leader of the field team, as she is experienced and capable of doing the job.
The reappearance of Zeeko Zaki is in the form of OA Zidan, who provides technological and fieldwork intelligence.
Jeremy Sisto comes back as Jubal Valentine to offer the team a strong backbone of his presence and Alana De La Garza comes back as Isobel Castille, who balances office administration and working in the fields.
John Boyd comes back as Stuart Scola, accompanied by another team player who can bring a shift in the team dynamics.
New cast addition
FBI Season 8 welcomes Juliana Aidé Martines in an unnamed part. Although the official information about her character has not been disclosed, she is most likely to become the new partner of Scola.
Her presentation is after Tiffany (Katherine Renee Kane) and Syd (Lisette Olivera) had left, and new plots as well as interactions between the team were open.
Departures and changes of character
The presence of Season 7 changes the Season 8 lineup. Tiffany and Syd do not belong to the team anymore, which leaves space for new dynamics and plots. The changes are likely to be incorporated in FBI Season 8 with continuity of the core team.
Season 7 review and season 8 previews
The Season 7 finale had the team battling a rogue terrorist group that had infiltrated the FBI and wired up government devices with bombs. The unresolved tensions created by this high-stakes scenario, especially between Maggie and OA, were the precursor to the FBI Season 8.
The new season will be based on the aftermath of these events and paying attention to further investigation and changing relationships on the team.
Premiere and scheduling notes
FBI Season 8 will air on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 9/8c p.m. on CBS. As the series is now broadcast on Mondays, it is still the FB, with FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted having been cancelled, and an interim series, FBI: CIA, having been postponed during the midseason.
Season 8 continuity and franchise prospectus
FBI Season 8 is a continuation of the same storyline of the central team, with new characters being brought into the series to make it newer. The season belongs to a multi-season renewal up until Season 9, which means that the franchise is not going away in this season.
It also focuses on continuity, team cohesion, and continuous inquisitions with accommodating offices as new dynamics.
FBI Season 8 has validated the comeback of all the main cast and the debut of a prime role, played by Juliana Aidén Martinez, though her personality is still to be made clear.
The season will feature canceled or delayed spin-offs and a new Monday time slot, which will give it continuity and a new storyline that the fans will watch.
