‘CIA’ Recasting: Necar Zadegan to Fill Michael Michele’s Role
Necar Zadegan replaces Michael Michele as Chief of Station in CBS's CIA series amid multiple showrunner changes and a temporary production pause.
- Earlier this month, Necar Zadegan was cast as the Chief of Station on CBS's CIA, filling the role vacated by Michael Michele.
- After a string of exits, Warren Leight stepped back as showrunner and production of CIA has been on hiatus for two weeks.
- The series was ordered on April 22, 2025, with Tom Ellis first cast, and Mike Weiss has closed his deal as CIA's showrunner, according to sources.
- CBS earlier this week unveiled midseason dates, and CIA is slated to debut Monday, February 23, 2026 at 10/9c behind FBI after a schedule shift from fall.
- As a franchise matter, industry observers note CIA was ordered straight to series and the FBI flagship franchise also endured multiple showrunner changes.
