The renowned actor Zeeko Zaki gave an interview to Crítica Panamá for the premiere of the eighth season of 'FBI.' The series, which premieres on Universal Premiere and UNIVERSAL+ this January 8th, follows an elite team within the FBI's field office in New York, committed to solving the city's and country's most complex crimes and protecting the safety of all citizens. This story from Universal Television, Wolf Entertainment, and CBS Studios features executive producer and Emmy winner Dick Wolf. In its new episodes, picking up after the events of 'Takeover,' the season premiere—directed by Alex Chapple—will take viewers beyond the agency's inner workings. The series continues to fulfill its promise of bringing bigger and better episodes each week. Zaki noted that he and his character Omar have grown significantly over these eight seasons. He shared that the trust and belief in his character allow him to feel more comfortable and emotionally vulnerable with each season. Zaki also expressed his desire to visit Panama and commented on rumors of him possibly being cast as Batman, calling it a 'very interesting idea.' In the new season, viewers will see how the team uses cutting-edge intelligence and technology to lead high-risk investigations to hunt down the world's most dangerous individuals. The season will also tackle intense situations between agents, life-or-death scenarios, and the evolution of the character's romantic relationships. Zaki emphasized that it would be an honor to play his character for the next 20 years, comparing him to the Batman of the first era.
