FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 Plot: What to expect?
The show’s creators have remained tight-lipped about any upcoming plotlines. But, we are certain that it will expand on the basic premise, 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 next season 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 get to see the team help Remy try to catch his brother’s real killer 25 years after Mikey was murdered. We suggest fans patiently wait and binge-watch Season 4 to update their recollection of certain significant plotlines and keep an eye out for details that will be released in the coming weeks.

The main cast members who are expected to return in the new season are as follows: Dylan McDermott as Supervisory Special Agent Remy Scott; Roxy Sternberg as Special Agent Sheryll Barnes; Keisha Castle-Hughes as Special Agent Hana Gibson, and Edwin Hodge as Special Agent Ray Cannon, among other recurring cast members who will be disclosed later.
Alexa Davalos confirmed that her character, Special Agent Kristin Gaines, will be departing the series from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television. According to Deadline, she was informed by a producer on set that she won’t be coming back after filming her last scene from Season 4 several months ago, and reports suggest Davalos’ departure was amicable.
On a good note, Shantel VanSanten is moving from FBI to FBI: Most Wanted for the latter show’s fifth season. She will reprise the role of Special Agent Nina Chase. Nina remains in a relationship with FBI’s Stuart Scola (John Boyd) as they raise their infant son Douglas together. VanSanten is joining the cast following Alexa Davalos’ exit.
Last but not least, FBI: Most Wanted is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with CBS Studios. Dick Wolf, David Hudgins, Ken Girotti, Terry Miller, Dylan McDermott, Arthur W. Forney, and Peter Jankowski are executive producers. David Hudgins is the showrunner.
