FBI has been churning out some great episodes this season, especially as we follow the aftermath of Stuart Scola losing his partner, Tiffany Wallace, after she decided to leave the FBI. Unfortunately, even though we’re already looking forward to new episodes, we will have to wait another week to watch our favorite CBS series.

There will not be a brand new episode airing on Tuesday, Nov. 5, nor will there be a repeat. Instead, CBS will be airing election night coverage for the U.S. This means that normal primetime broadcast shows will not be airing any episodes. So unfortunately, we have to wait another week to see what the FBI agents are up to.

The next episode will feature Lisette Olivera, who was originally cast to portray Scola’s new work partner. However, news has already spread that she will not be with the show much longer. She will be leaving after only filming a handful of episodes, as per Deadline.

When is a new episode of FBI airing on CBS?

We will still meet her character, Behavioral Analysis Unit profiler Sydney Ortiz, in the Tuesday Nov. 12 episode of FBI. In the episode, Ortiz requests help from the FBI after her sister is the victim of an attempted abduction and assault. 

From all accounts, it appears that the age of the character may have been involved in the decision to release Olivera from the show. But we will have to see how she works with Scola, who is now likely still going to be going through partners as the season progresses.

Whether or not Scola ends up with a permanent partner, this will be new territory for him as he finds his footing with someone new. Even if it doesn’t work out with the ones we meet, he will likely learn a lot from the people he works with as they come and go.

Previous episodes of FBI are available on Paramount+ if you need to catch up while we wait for new episodes of the series. In the meantime, make sure to keep an eye on Hidden Remote for more FBI coverage.

FBI airs Tuesdays on CBS at 8/7c.
