Any landmark for a television show is a feat worth celebrating. Whether the show becomes the longest-running drama on prime-time television or when it hits a certain number of episodes, it's a testament to the quality and commitment of the series and those involved, as well as to the loyal fans, many of whom have followed from day one. Such stands for the upcoming 150th episode milestone for the CBS series FBI. The television show entered its eighth season last fall. The show is exactly what it sounds like, a dramatized look at the inner workings of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The series stars Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, Jeremy Sisto, Isobel Castille, and more, including the most recent addition, Juliana Aidén Martinez. Martinez was announced as joining the cast last summer and plays Special Agent Eva Ramos.
While many milestone episodes for crime dramas have taken a more retrospective look with longer-term characters, this episode will feature Martinez's Eva at the forefront when a case forces her to confront her past. Today, Collider is unveiling an exclusive first look at the upcoming episode "Crusader." The logline for the 150th episode reads:
"A dangerous drug kingpin from Eva’s past resurfaces when two children and a daycare worker are killed due to an accidental drug exposure. While the team works the case, Eva wavers between her mission as an agent and her personal vendetta, on the 150th episode of FBI."
Special Agent Eva Ramos Revisits the Past in 'FBI's 150th Episode
Since returning from winter hiatus, FBI has gotten personal. Most recently, the February 23 episode "Confetti" featured Special Agent Nina Chase (Shantel VanSanten) and Special Agent Stuart Scola (John Boyd) in a bit of a marital squabble, with the fact that they weren't married being part of the conflict. While the 150th episode looks to open up the past for Ramos, it's still great to see more of the parts of these agents that make them who they are as they work as a team day in and day out. On FBI, personal moments are just as pivotal as the action.
Before FBI, Martinez starred in another well-known Wolf Entertainment property, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She played Detective Kate Silva. Martinez's Silva was a transfer into SVU from Homicide, bringing that knowledge with her for a fresh perspective on the especially heinous crimes. Now that she's jumped over to FBI, it will be interesting to see what the past reveals about the Special Agent Eva Ramos of today.
Check out the exclusive photos above for the FBI 150th episode "Crusader" and catch it on CBS on March 23. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.
CIA Season 2's Fate Officially Decided By CBS After Rocky Season 1 Production
The fate of CBS' new FBI spinoff series, CIA, has now been decided.
CBS confirmed that CIA has officially been renewed for season 2, following impressive viewership numbers from its series premiere. According to Paramount, the premiere episode saw 8.4 million multiplatform viewers via broadcast and streaming within the first seven days of its release.
Ratings for the first three episodes of the series showed a 39% improvement on Monday at 10 p.m. compared to the same timeslot in fall 2025.
Behind the scenes, though, CIA has had a rocky production. FBI: Most Wanted showrunner David Hudgins was initially in charge of the series, but Warren Leight later replaced him. That wasn't the end of the turnover, though, as he eventually departed, along with executive producer Eriq La Salle. Mike Weiss, who was the showrunner on the original FBI series, was hired as the CIA showrunner.
All of this turmoil, plus Michael Michele's departure from the cast, caused production delays, and CBS decided to give CIA a mid-season 2026 premiere after previously announcing it would debut in fall 2025.
CIA stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss as CIA Agent Colin Glass and FBI Agent Bill Goodman, respectively, who are tasked with working together on a secretive joint CIA/FBI task force. The two agents couldn't be more different, with the latter a rule-follower and the former more mischievous in nature.
While on the job together, Glass and Goodman stay in the shadows as they solve domestic and international crimes away from the eyes of the public.
Before CIA, Ellis was best known for his role as Lucifer Morningstar on the Fox/Netflix drama Lucifer, while Gehlfuss has starred in The Newsroom, Shameless, and Chicago Med (another Dick Wolf-created series).
Their CIA co-stars include Necar Zadegan and Natalee Linez. Zadegan, who plays Nikki Reynard, will guest star in the March 30 episode of FBI season 8, in which the Deputy Chief of Station is called in to help following a double homicide. The episode will mark Maggie Bell's return to the team after suffering a major loss.
Wolf created the hugely popular Law & Order and One Chicago franchises on NBC, and then went on to create the FBI crime procedural franchise for CBS. The first FBI series debuted in 2018 with star Missy Peregrym and is currently airing its eighth season.
Two years later, the first spinoff, FBI: Most Wanted, launched and aired for six seasons. FBI: International followed in its footsteps and aired for four seasons.
CIA, which currently has a 63% critic score and 51% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, marks the third FBI spinoff, with Wolf, Weiss, Ken Girotti, Paul Cabbad, Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen, Anastasia Puglisi, and Peter Jankowski serving as executive producers.
CIA airs Mondays at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS.
