Former "CSI: NY" star Sela Ward is returning to CBS with a co-starring role on the network’s upcoming drama series "FBI", from "Law & Order" and "Chicago" chief Dick Wolf.

Ward replaces Connie Nielsen who co-starred in the pilot though this is not a straight recasting as Ward will play a new character that will be introduced in Episode 2.



"FBI" also stars Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, Jeremy Sisto and Ebonée Noel. Craig Turk wrote the pilot episode and will serve as executive producer/showrunner.

"FBI" premieres on Sept. 25th.
