Tom Ellis is making his return to network TV via CIA , and while exciting, a recent update concerning the upcoming show raises some red flags. CIA will serve as the third spinoff in the FBI franchise and, as its name implies, shift focus from the FBI to the CIA. Meanwhile, the other two offshoots ( FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International ) have been canceled.

Ellis stars as Hart Hoxton, a "fast-talking, rule-breaking, loose-cannon" CIA case officer who works out of the CIA's New York office, in the FBI spinoff. The actor will co-lead CIA alongside his character's partner — a "by-the-book, seasoned, and smart" FBI special agent, who has yet to be cast. As a matter of fact, Ellis is the only confirmed CIA cast member.
