FBI
FBI’s CIA spinoff is moving forward at CBS with a major update.
The project was initially meant to be planted as a backdoor pilot in the mainFBIseries.
Varietyreports thatLuciferstarTom Ellis has been cast for one of the two lead roles inCIA.
Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen, and Peter Jankowski are also executive producers.
The project hails from Universal Television in association with Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios.
The story centers on two unlikely partners.
The other, meanwhile, is a veteran FBI agent who trusts the rule of law.
However, the franchise is far from over.
Hudgins has served as showrunner onFBI: Most Wanted, in addition to working on dramas likeParenthoodandFriday Night Lights.
FBI is a procedural drama that explores the workings of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s New York office as dedicated agents tackle high-stakes cases involving terrorism, organized crime, and various formidable threats.
He’ll again be in the showrunner role forCIA, which should benefit from the addition of Ellis.
He is best known to many for playing the titular Lucifer Morningstar onLuciferfor six seasons.
