Written by Wolf and FBI: Most Wanted showrunner David Hudgins, CIA (working title) centers on two unlikely partners – a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (Ellis), and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA’s New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.

FBI’s CIA offshoot is executive produced by Wolf, Hudgins, who will serve as showrunner, Nicole Perlman, former CIA officer David Chasteen and Wolf Entertainment’s Peter Jankowski. Like the rest of the FBI franchise, the series is from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios.

Was glad to read the above, as I had been wondering recently what was happening with the planned backdoor pilot in FBI's seventh season for the CIA show.
