With "CBS Premiere Week" only a little more than a month away, it looks like the second season premiere of Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss-starring CIA will be crossing over in a big way with FBI – with the spinoff returning the favor for the franchise series's ninth season premiere. John Boyd's Stuart Scola will be appearing in CIA S02E01: "The Deep," while Necar Zadegan's Nikki Reynard is set for FBI S09E01: "Rendition," which is set to go down on Monday, October 5th. Here's a look at what was released about the big one-night event.
In S02E01: "The Deep," a dead DEA agent is discovered in New York City during the tracking of a notorious cartel fixer. According to the official overview reported exclusively by TVLine, "After it becomes clear the case is not what it seems, the team must work quickly to prevent additional murders. Meanwhile, Bill (Nick Gehlfuss) makes a shocking discovery when he returns to work after the death of his father, and the team enlists the help of FBI's Special Agent Stuart Scola (Boyd)." Fans are going to learn early on in the episode that Bill and Scola are longtime FBI friends. Meanwhile, the death of a traveler in a state park connects to the killing of someone involved in a top-secret government project. "Maggie struggles to bond with her new partner, Isaiah Green ("Chicago Med" actor Roland Buck III), OA adjusts to a new role, and the CIA's Deputy Chief of Station, Nikki Reynard (Necar Zadegan), lends a helping hand on the case."
"Later on in the episode when we need to hit a DEA target house, it's a great moment of CIA fusion cell/FBI collaboration where Bill calls his buddy Scola," CIA showrunner and executive producer Mike Weiss shared about "The Deep," adding, "They put together a SWAT team, and Bill and Scola go in shoulder-to-shoulder to this dangerous target, so we get to see Scola in bro-mode as well as in tactical mode." Gehlfuss teased, "We see Bill in a totally different and new light. By the end of the episode, there's a bombshell that's dropped that shakes Bill up quite a bit as far as, 'Who the hell is he?'"
As for Reynard offering the FBI a big assist, Weiss believes that it would only make sense to go to the best source for information on targets "who might have an international or intelligence or terror background to them" that are being tracked. "Why not go and talk to an expert, Nikki Reynard, who has been chasing and tracking and dealing with these guys for her entire career overseas?" Weiss shared. "We call on Nikki a couple of times in the season to come in and lend her expertise when there's something weird or exotic or global going on in a part of the FBI investigation."
