Michael Michele Departs CBS's FBI Spinoff 'CIA'
A main actor, Michael Michele, has left a new TV show called 'CIA' that is connected to the FBI shows.
He was playing the boss of the New York office in the show.
This is the second big change for the show, as they also changed the person in charge of writing it a few months ago.
The show is about a spy and a detective who have to work together even though they are very different.
It was supposed to come out in the fall but is now planned for the middle of next year.
It's still unclear if they will find someone new to play Michele's character or if they will change the story.
Michael Michele has exited his role in the upcoming CBS crime drama 'CIA'.
Michele was playing the head of the CIA's New York Station.
This is the second significant change for the series, following a showrunner switch.
The show, which stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss, is targeting a midseason premiere.
It is currently unclear whether Michele's character will be recast.
