“A big part of my excitement about our partnership with ID was the opportunity to bring incredible stories to true crime fans from an entirely new perspective. Feds is genuinely unique. As viewers, we have never been as inside the case as we are in this series. Being a true crime follower myself, speaking to active special agents with the FBI has been a thrill.”
The series aims to show the brilliant tactics, tough judgment calls and relentless dedication that make the FBI the world’s most elite crime-fighting force . Each episode offers what the network calls “front-row seats to the real-life drama and emotion of major investigations” .

Octavia Spencer’s Growing True Crime Library
Feds is part of a larger partnership between Octavia Spencer’s Orit Entertainment and Investigation Discovery. The partnership began with the announcement of two projects in 2022 and has expanded as both shows proved successful .
The Lost Women franchise focuses on cases involving women whose stories might otherwise go untold. The first season, Lost Women of Highway 20, examined crimes that happened along a desolate stretch of Oregon highway from the late 1970s to the early 1990s . The upcoming season, Lost Women of Alaska, premieres on February 25, 2026, on ID, just one week before Feds Season 2 begins .
Spencer also narrates Lost Women, adding her voice to the storytelling . The Lost Women of Alaska season focuses on the murders of Veronica Abouchuk and Kathleen Jo Henry, two Indigenous women killed in 2018 and 2019, and the investigation that led to the arrest and conviction of Brian Steven Smith .
In a statement about the new seasons, Spencer said:
“Expanding the LOST WOMEN franchise allows us to shine a light on cases involving underrepresented women, and LOST WOMEN OF ALASKA confronts the devastating intersection of race and systemic failures that perpetuate violence against Indigenous women. Alongside this, FEDS gives us the chance to showcase the courage of FBI agents who often work covertly to bring justice for the victims. I’m honored to continue this partnership with ID and October Films to amplify these crucial stories and create bold, meaningful work.”
