The FBI franchise's first spinoff series FBI: Most Wanted finished off its fourth season, prompting many to wonder if there's any FBI: Most Wanted season 5 news to resolve the leftover tension. Much like its parent series, Most Wanted focuses on a special branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and in this case, it's the highly specialized Fugitive Task Force. The Fugitive Task Force is responsible for hunting down criminals on the famed FBI's Most Wanted list, which usually includes ten suspects who could've committed various crimes, from bank robbery to serial murder, but are always a considerable danger to society.

Currently, audiences can watch FBI: Most Wanted on Paramount+ to catch up before season 5 debuts. The show has seen some major cast changes over the years, seeing the Fugitive Task Force initially manned by Team Lead and Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon) before his season 3 departure. As of now, that role has been filled by Remy Scott (Dylan McDermott), and while several agents have come and gone, a few key players remain.

Who Will Return?

FBI: Most Wanted season 5 news sees another cast member leaving without being written off. Alexa Davalos, who plays Special Agent Kristin Gaines, will not be returning for season 5. Though Deadline reports that her departure has been described as "amicable," Gaines wasn't given a proper ending and the details as to why she isn't returning are murky at best. Perhaps to replace Gaines, FBI cast member Shantel VanSanten will be joining FBI: Most Wanted season 5 as Agent Nina Chase. Veteran character actor Steven Williams will join the cast in a supporting role as Ray Canon Sr.

The confirmed returning cast for season 5 includes:

The ending of FBI: Most Wanted season 4 gave small clues as to what season 5 could be about, and outside the usual case-of-the-week format, a few storylines will persist. First and foremost, Remy's discovery of his brother's killer and his long-lost nephew will certainly have to be addressed in the new season. Outside of that, FBI: Most Wanted season 5 will also likely attempt to integrate Agent Nina Chase into the team as a full-time member.
