Buckle up, readers! It’s time to delve into some of the most dangerous and elusive criminals on the FBI’s most wanted list.
Are you ready to follow the next chapter of the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force? If yes, then you have no idea how amazing the new season is going to be, as it is going to be filled with unexpected twists and turns that always promised to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions that you won’t want to miss!
We know that since the fourth and fifth seasons were renewed by CBS back in May 2022, fans have been curious to know when the potential release window will be.
If you are wondering the same thing, then we can assure you that you have reached the right place to know all your answers about the much-anticipated fifth season of FBI: Most Wanted, which we definitely think is going to captivate the audience once again as it has done for the last four years.
Here is everything we know so far about the potential release date of FBI: Most Wanted Season 5.
FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 Release Date: Is it premiering in June 2023?
Firstly, let’s clear up all the rumors surrounding the potential return of the show for a fifth season. As of writing this, we can confirm that the exact release date for FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 has not been disclosed yet. The confusion caused by the raging rumors all over social media can now be put to rest, as the fans should focus on looking out for the schedule for the coming months on CBS.
Making one thing clear, there is no doubt that it won’t be premiering anytime soon, especially in the month of June 2023.
But for your consideration, it pretty much looks like the network might be considering sticking with the planned schedule, and the next season will be released sometime in the fall of the 2023–2024 broadcast television season, with September being the likely release window. It is expected to follow a similar schedule, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 10/9 con CBS and later on Paramount Plus.
On the other hand, we think that one of the main reasons for such speculation is the ongoing 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, which hasn’t been resolved and has already started to cause major delays in various productions as the writer’s room have stopped working on scripts until a proper resolution is made in their favor. So, there is a slight chance that the series might be aiming to release in 2024 if production is unable to resume this summer season.
In the meantime, we urge the fans to wait patiently and hope for the best so that they can soon binge-watch their favorite shows.

FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 Plot: What can we expect to see in the new season?
The next season is expected to carry on the legacy of this beloved franchise which follows: “From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind “FBI” and the “Law & Order” franchise, “FBI: Most Wanted” is a high-stakes drama focusing on the Fugitive Task Force, which relentlessly tracks and captures the notorious criminals on the Bureau’s Most Wanted list. The team functions as a mobile undercover unit that is always out in the field, pursuing those who are most desperate to elude justice.”
“The FBIs are one of the most successful brands in the entire TV landscape and a powerful cornerstone of our number one lineup,” said Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment. “They’ve attracted a dedicated, loyal fan base, thanks to the extraordinary vision of executive producer Dick Wolf and the talents of all three outstanding casts and creative teams. I know we and our viewers look forward to two additional seasons of engaging, heroic stories.”
The plot is also expected to pick up from the fourth season’s final episode, “Heaven Falling” which was directed by Ken Girotti and written by David Hudgins. In the episode, the viewers got to see that the team helps Remy (Dylan McDermott) try to catch his brother’s real killer 25 years after Mikey was murdered.
The next season is expected to pick up from this episode and continue the plot with new subplots that highlight character arcs for the series to develop in favor of the fan’s expectations.
In the meantime, we suggest fans patiently wait and binge-watch Season 4, which ended last month, in order to update their recollection of certain significant plotlines and keep an eye out for details that will be released in the coming weeks of the series’ official episode titles and synopsis.

- Dylan McDermott as Supervisory Special Agent Remy Scott
- Alexa Davalos as Special Agent Kristin Gaines
- Roxy Sternberg as Special Agent Sheryll Barnes
- Keisha Castle-Hughes as Special Agent Hana Gibson
- Edwin Hodge as Special Agent Ray Cannon
Furthermore, as of June 2023, the network had not yet announced any new castings. We advise viewers to wait patiently for these developments since the network will let loyal viewers know whether any new characters will be appearing in the following season. Moreover, the network will be presenting character descriptions of any new cast members to better understand the dynamics and explore those individuals more in the following season.
FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 Episodes: Where to stream?
Even though the exact episode count for FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 is subject to change, we expected it to have about 22 episodes with a runtime of 43 to 53 minutes, which will air on a weekly basis. It is intended to follow the same count to maintain the story’s flow. We’d also like to point out that the titles and synopsis have not been released, as these details will be revealed once the release date draws closer to avoid any early spoilers of the plotlines.
When released, FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 is expected to air on CBS on Tuesday 10/9c time slot, just like the prior seasons. The viewers can also catch up with all the seasons of FBI: Most Wanted on Paramount+ or FuboTV. Moreover, the show is also available for renting or purchasing on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and Vudu., with a vast number of membership plans according to the preference of the users. The series is also available to watch exclusively on CBS’s official website for free (selective regions), where the episodes are published after they air on the TV channel.
We would also like to highlight that the network hasn’t released any new promotional stuff for the fifth season as the release date and the filming status hasn’t been disclosed yet, leaving a lot of time for the official promo tour to begin. Until then, fans can check out the fourth season trailer to recap all the events which showcases: “A high-stakes drama about an FBI Fugitive Task Force that relentlessly pursues and captures notorious criminals on the Bureau’s Most Wanted list.”
