by

Dick Wolf, the creator of the original Law & Order, certainly knows how to make a compelling and exciting show. His success continued with FBI, which has now run for eight seasons and spawned several spin-offs.

The creators of the popular show FBI are back with a new thriller called CIA. Get ready for another suspenseful ride as this series brings the CIA and FBI together to tackle top-secret missions and keep the nation safe.

Tom Ellis, known for his role in Lucifer, and Nick Gehlfuss from Chicago Med lead the cast. Ellis describes their on-screen dynamic as being similar to a playfully arguing married couple.

Now that the exciting trailer is out and the series is coming to the US later this month, UK viewers are eager to find out when and where they can watch it too.

Read on for everything we know so far.

Can you watch CIA in the UK?

As of now, a UK broadcaster has not been confirmed for CIA.

Since the FBI series and its related shows are available on Sky and NOW in the UK, it’s likely that the new CIA series will be too. We’ll have to wait and see exactly when it will arrive, though.

Many US TV shows become available in the UK shortly after they air in America, sometimes even at the same time. However, some shows aren’t shown here for several months. Keep checking back for updates!

What is CIA about?

This show explores how the CIA and FBI work together on secret missions, focusing on a surprising pair of partners.

According to the CIA’s official description, FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss), known for following the rules, is temporarily assigned to a secret joint CIA/FBI team. There, he partners with Colin Glass (Tom Ellis), a mysterious and unconventional CIA officer.

Working together in New York, Bill and Colin will conduct secret missions, exposing international conspiracies, terrorist groups, and hidden political strategies. As a newcomer to the CIA, Bill will quickly learn the ropes with Colin’s guidance, navigating the dangerous world of espionage. Their work is vital to America’s security, even though it must remain hidden from the public.

Ellis and Gehlfuss, the show’s leads, were friends before they started working together. Ellis explained that their existing friendship influenced how they played their characters, describing the chemistry test as unusual – it wasn’t a typical setup with a single camera and a blue screen, according to Deadline.

We assembled a small team and headed to New York to film some initial test scenes. It went surprisingly smoothly – we quickly found our rhythm and started working well together. The whole process felt natural and everything just clicked.
