Paramount+ has announced that FBI True is coming back for an eighth season on March 31. The docuseries has been releasing new seasons at a fairly rapid pace since its 2023 debut, though the 10 month wait between Seasons 7 and 8 is its longest so far.

The show gives viewers a look into the high-pressure world of the FBI, where split-second decisions often mean life or death. FBI agents relive the heart-stopping moments of their biggest cases and reveal the details only they can tell. This is accompanied by never-before-seen surveillance video, interrogations with hostage takers and terrorists, and agents' personal photos.

Season 8 will feature gripping stories including the disappearance of 11-year-old Gannon Stauch in Colorado Springs; the search for University of Illinois student Yingying Zhang; a terrifying hostage situation at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas; the secret the FBI revealed about how they finally brought down mob boss John Gotti, the "Teflon Don"; a deadly bombing spree in Austin, Texas; a chilling murder where the killer stayed behind to cook dinner; and the extraordinary steps FBI agents took to protect their field office during Hurricane Katrina.
