FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 - Confirmation & Everything We Know

Summary FBI: Most Wanted has been renewed for a sixth season due to its success and Dick Wolf's reputation.

The main cast of FBI: Most Wanted is expected to return for season 6, with Dylan McDermott leading the team.

The specific storyline for FBI: Most Wanted season 6 is unknown, but fans can expect exciting weekly cases and potential crossover episodes within the FBI universe.

The hit FBI spinoff FBI: Most Wanted has already scored five seasons on the air thus far, and the procedural will return for season 6. Debuting in 2020 as the first off-shoot of Dick Wolf's FBI, FBI: Most Wanted follows the Special Agents of the elite Fugitive Task Force who are assigned to capture the most notorious criminals on the Bureau's most wanted list. Unlike other spinoffs that essentially repeat the original's premise in a different location, Most Wanted stands apart from its predecessor with different types of exciting cases.

Based solely on the reputation of Dick Wolf's many TV shows, CBS wasted no time in expanding Wolf's latest project into a franchise. FBI: Most Wanted started as a backdoor pilot in FBI's first season, and less than a year later, it was given a full season order on the network. Since then, the franchise has been spun off into yet another series, FBI: International, while Most Wanted has firmly established itself as one of CBS' premiere primetime series. With that in mind, FBI: Most Wanted season 6 is already on the way.

Reduced Roles For Main Cast Members

instead of appearing in all 22 episodes, each main cast member will only appear in 20.

Just a few short weeks after the entire franchise was renewed by CBS, the latest update confirms reduced roles for lead cast members in FBI: Most Wanted. According to a new report, the main cast members of both Most Wanted and its predecessor FBI will see their episode minimums trimmed by two in both shows' upcoming seasons.

Now, instead of appearing in all 22 episodes, each main cast member will only appear in 20.

Close

Until something changes, it's safe to assume that the entire main cast of FBI: Most Wanted will return for season 6. There were some cast shakeups before season 5, and it stands to reason that things won't change too much to maintain continuity. With that in mind, Dylan McDermott will most likely return as SSA Remy Scott to lead the team, and season 5 newcomer Shantel VanSanten will continue to play a major role as Special Agent Nina Chase.

Barring any major events throughout the rest of season 5, the main cast of FBI: Most Wanted season 6 will include:

What Will Happen Next Season?

At this juncture, it is impossible to guess exactly what will happen in FBI: Most Wanted season 6. Though the procedural has played around with ongoing arcs in the past, those are usually wrapped up by the end of each season. Therefore, it's hard to say what exciting new storyline could be added to season 6 until the conclusion of season 5. There are a few guarantees though, as each episode sees the team take on some major criminal in a case-of-the-week format. Fans could also expect a few more FBI crossover episodes as Dick Wolf's entire CBS universe is connected.
