Wasting no time renewing the breakout hit produced by Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios, CIA has quickly become one of the network’s most talked about new series, delivering pulse-pounding action led by Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss. Week after week, viewers tuned in as the show unraveled high stakes global missions and political intrigue.

Per the official release, the series premiere (February 23) was seen by 8.4 million multiplatform viewers within seven days, and consistently held its time slot, with viewership improving by 39% from last fall through its first three episodes (airing February 23, March 2, and March 9).

About CIA

When by-the-book FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss) is loaned out to a clandestine CIA/FBI task force, he finds himself teamed up with secretive and roguish CIA Agent Colin Glass (Tom Ellis). Together they will work covert operations in New York, uncovering international plots, terrorist cells and geopolitical secrets. On CIA, Bill will learn the rules of this murky world on the fly as Colin leads him deeper into spy games where only one thing is clear – their work keeps America safe, even if no one will ever know what they did in the shadows.

CIA airs Mondays 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+
