FBI is shifting nights this November as the fan-favorite CBS drama shakes up its schedule with one episode set to air on a Sunday instead of its usual Tuesday run.

According to TV Line, one of Season 5’s upcoming installments, will air on Sunday, November 6 instead of its usual spot on November 8 as Election Night news coverage will disrupt the normal Tuesday schedule. Similar to FBI, the franchise’s other series FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted will also be preempted for the evening of political coverage.

Unlike FBI though, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted will not air new episodes that week. The reason why FBI will air a new episode that week is because of the scheduling shift which saw the Season 4 finale air a few weeks into the show’s current fifth season, giving the show an extra installment to run.

Now, the Sunday, November 6 TV schedule kicks off with NFL overrun playing until 7:30 pm ET / 7 pm PT when 60 Minutes begins. Following 60 Minutes, fans can tune into the new FBI episode at 8:30 pm ET / 8 pm PT. After FBI, new episodes of East New York (9:30 pm ET / 9 pm PT) and NCIS: Los Angeles (10:30 pm ET / 10 pm PT) will run.

The special Sunday night episode of FBI is titled, “Double Bind,” and follows the team as they work to rescue a young kidnapping victim. Meanwhile, Scola (John Boyd) believes the 5-year-old’s mother isn’t being honest about why her son was targeted in the first place. And Nina (Shantel VanSanten) struggles to open up about certain matters in her relationship with Scola.
