FBI Boss Rick Eid Teases the Crossover Premiere
September 20, 2021 by Marisa Roffman
The FBI franchise officially takes control of CBS’ Tuesday night lineup starting on September 21, and things are kicking off with a three-way crossover: with mothership FBI kicking off the night, FBI: MOST WANTED airing as hour 2, and new series FBI: INTERNATIONAL closing things out.
“The case revolves around an underage sex-trafficking ring, catering to the rich and famous,” FBI showrunner Rick Eid teased via email.
In the FBI hour, MOST WANTED’s Julian McMahon and Kellan Lutz guest star, when Maggie (Missy Peregrym) realizes she needs a bit of specialized help. (Though some of the FBI cast will appear in the MOST WANTED hour, the INTERNATIONAL characters will make their debut in their own show’s premiere.)
“Crossovers are challenging for many reasons,” Eid admitted. “The first leg of a three-part episode is actually the easiest. All we have to do is set the table for the next two hours. So, from my perspective, it was like writing a typical, stand-alone episode—but it doesn’t resolve itself at the end of the hour.”
