The new show, which, right now, is titled FBI: Most Wanted, will first air as a backdoor pilot during an episode of FBI.
And, CBS has actually already given FBI: Most Wanted a series commitment, meaning that a pickup for several episodes is very likely.
FBI is still in its freshman season, but a plan has already been set in motion to introduce characters for a proposed spinoff on the series this spring.
Even if you’re not familiar with the term “backdoor pilot,” you’ve probably seen at least one if you watch any show that’s gotten a spinoff.
