FBI is closing out the year with a two-episode night, and it sounds like the show is going big: holiday backdrop, a killer with a larger plan, citywide systems going dark, and Jubal juggling a crisis at work and at home. So yes, clear your Monday evening.
Release date and time
FBI Season 8 Episodes 9 and 10 drop on Monday, December 15, 2025.
- 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS (also on Paramount+)
- 5:00 p.m. PT on CBS (also on Paramount+)
What these episodes are about
We start with the holidays rolling in and the team tackling a brutal case: three sex workers are murdered, and it quickly becomes clear this is not an isolated crime. The investigation points to a killer working off a bigger playbook.
Meanwhile, Jubal gets a jolt from home when his son, Tyler, calls with alarming news. That personal stress hits right as things escalate: an attack takes out phone service, internet, and even emergency systems. The Bureau traces it to a radical group that believes it can remake society by breaking it first. Subtle, it is not.
Where to watch
Both episodes air on CBS and stream on Paramount+. If you prefer to keep everything in one app, Paramount+ carries live CBS in many markets and has the episodes on demand after they air. The service bundles a lot from across the Paramount family (think CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, and more) and currently offers a 7-day free trial before a paid subscription kicks in.
