Nick Gehlfuss and Michael Michele have been set as the co-leads opposite Tom, according to Deadline. They previously appeared in the Dick Wolf shows Chicago Med and New York Undercover, respectively.
CIA is about “two unlikely partners – a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (Ellis), and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent (Gehlfuss) 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.”
Michele will play the head of the CIA’s New York Station.
CIA was originally set to debut in Fall 2025, but it was pushed to a midseason 2026 slot after it went through a showrunner change.
Tom recently made a red carpet appearance with three of his four kids!
