Fans of crime dramas and thrillers will be delighted to know that the fifth season of FBI, the hit show from the creator of Law & Order, Dick Wolf, has premiered on Sky Witness. The series follows the cases of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s New York office, led by Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille (Alana De La Garza).
The team includes Special Agents Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym), Omar Adom “OA” Zidan (Zeeko Zaki), Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Turner), and Stuart Scola (John Boyd), as well as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) and Intelligence Analyst Kristen Chazal (Ebonée Noel).
The fifth season promises to deliver more action, suspense, and drama as the agents face new challenges and threats, both personal and professional. In the first episode, titled “The Sting”, the team tries to buy a bomb from an illegal weapons broker as part of a sting operation. However, their inquiries reveal that the weapon has already fallen into the wrong hands. Meanwhile, Jubal breaks a promise to his family when he gets involved in the case.
The Success of Dick Wolf’s Franchise
FBI is the latest addition to Dick Wolf’s impressive portfolio of television shows, which includes the iconic Law & Order franchise, as well as Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Law & Order: Organized Crime.

Both shows are also airing on Sky Witness, along with FBI. The three shows are also part of a larger crossover event with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organized Crime, titled “Law & Order Crossover”, which will air later this year.
