Tuesdays are supposed to be all about the FBI shows, so what’s going on tonight, Tuesday, March 4? The CBS schedule is very different.

There is some bad news tonight. There isn’t going to be a new episode of FBI season 7. There won’t even be a rerun of the series. This is not the standard break in the schedule to make sure there are enough episodes to get us to May finales.

Why isn’t a new episode of FBI season 7 on tonight?

The series is taking a break due to politics. CBS, along with the other Big 4 networks, will air a new special focusing on the President Address to the Joint Session of Congress. It makes sense to give this air time, and it does mean there isn’t room in the schedule for the usual lineup.

However, the news special doesn’t air until 9 p.m. ET/PT. That should allow for, at least, a rerun of FBI, right? We get why all three shows are better airing new back to back, but let us have a rerun! Instead, CBS has opted for a new episode of The Price Is Right at Night.

This won't affect the future of the series. FBI already has two more seasons in the bag. It's FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted that we're worried about.

When will new episodes of FBI season 7 air on CBS?

This break isn’t a long one. We will get a new episode of the series on Tuesday, March 11.

If it makes you feel better, every network will bring shows back on Tuesday, March 11. All networks have from 9 p.m. ET off the air tonight for the news specials.

We don’t have details of the episode just yet. While NBC and ABC brought us promos of the likes of The Irrational and Will Trent, CBS is holding things close to the chest.  This isn’t that surprising. It happens a lot when there is a break in the CBS schedule.

This break is a good thing, though. We knew that breaks in the schedule were going to have to happen. There are more weeks than there are episodes to get to May finale dates. So, at least this break means one less week off later on in the season.

FBI is available on Paramount+ to watch an episode tonight.
