The FBI franchise (also called The FBIs) is an American media franchise composed of three television series that are currently broadcast on CBS. It began with the premiere of FBI in 2018 and has since been expanded with spin-offs FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International . Dick Wolf created FBI with Craig Turk and FBI: International with Derek Haas, while FBI: Most Wanted was created by René Balcer. All three series are produced by Wolf Entertainment and deal with different aspects of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Multiple characters have appeared in more than one series of the franchise through occasional crossover appearances and the franchise has also had two crossover events. The franchise is also connected to NBC and Wolf Entertainment's Chicago franchise, and as a result the Law & Order franchise, through an appearance by Tracy Spiridakos in FBI, as her character from Chicago P.D .
Three television series make up the FBI franchise: FBI, Most Wanted, and International. All series in total amount to 303 episodes across 17 seasons of television.
