CBS is expanding FBI with FBI: Most Wanted, per The Hollywood Reporter.
CBS has announced that FBI will air a backdoor pilot for FBI: Most Wanted this spring in consideration for a potential series. The spinoff has a major series commitment attached to it per The Hollywood Reporter, so if it isn't picked up CBS, they would have to pay a large penalty sum to Dick Wolf and Universal Television.
The series hails from Dick Wolf (Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Chicago Med, Chicago Justice, FBI), Rene Balcer (Law & Order True Crime, FBI, Law & Order), Peter Jankowski, Arthur W. Forney, Universal Television and CBS TV Studios. Wolf and Balcer will pen the script together and executive produce. Fred Berner (Law & Order, Chicago PD, Chicago Med, FBI) will direct the episode.
FBI: Most Wanted follows the department of the FBI tasked with tracking and capturing the criminals on its Most Wanted list.
FBI: Most Wanted - FBI Spinoff Receives Series Commitment at CBS; Backdoor Pilot Coming
Dick Wolf is envisioning his series, not as individuals but as franchises with a universe of characters and stories that can crossover. I hear that is also how Wolf originally pitched FBI to CBS, and FBI: Most Wanted is part of his vision for a franchise consisting of at least three series. I hear he already has ideas for a potential third show should Most Wanted do well.
