Explained simply
FBI is a CBS crime drama about agents investigating major cases. It is part of a franchise that also includes FBI: Most Wanted, a spin-off that followed a team searching for people wanted for serious crimes.
Shantel VanSanten plays Nina Chase, an agent first introduced in FBI: Most Wanted. In the franchise, she has worked alongside agent Stuart Scola, played by John Boyd. Their professional partnership provides context for her appearances in the main series.
The FBI is a real US federal agency, but the characters and cases in these dramas are fictional. Crossovers bring characters from the different series into the same story, helping connect the shows and allowing characters from a cancelled spin-off to continue in the wider franchise.
