Fans of Dick Wolf's FBI franchise are in some serious luck right now as the release dates for all three FBI series have now been confirmed and they're all premiering their new seasons this October in the US.
That means US fans of the procedural drama don't have too long to wait until new episodes of FBI: Most Wanted are on our screens.
The previous fifth season drew to a close earlier this year but it's confirmed – we're getting more.
Season 7 is not only in the pipeline but so too are FBI: International season four and a further three seasons of the original series, FBI. So, there's plenty more cases, characters and hurdles to confront for our teams in all three series.
In terms of FBI: Most Wanted, there's also some shake-ups when it comes to casting, as it's been revealed that some of the actors will be doing fewer episodes in the new season. There's more on that below as well as further news around the confirmed release date, who could be returning and what season 6 could be about.
Read on for everything you need to know about FBI: Most Wanted season 7.
FBI: Most Wanted season 6 release date
FBI: Most Wanted is returning for season 6 and will debut in the US on CBS on Tuesday 15th October at 10pm. The premiere episode will come after a double instalment of new episodes from FBI and FBI: International that evening also, with new episodes set to be released weekly in the same slot.
As for when UK fans will be able to enjoy the series, we don't yet have a confirmed release date but we can expect that when it does drop, it will be able to watch on Sky Witness and NOW like previous seasons.
FBI: Most Wanted season 6 cast – Who will return?

Unlike its other FBI series counterparts, it looks as though we can expect many of the same regular cast members to make a return to FBI: Most Wanted.
However, there have been some casting changes which could mean we won't be seeing all of our core team for all of the new episodes. According to Deadline, the FBI: Most Wanted series regulars will see their minimum guaranteed appearances cut by two episodes next season.
This also affects FBI but not FBI: International and is also a cost-cutting measure that has also been announced in relation to Grey's Anatomy.
As of now, we'll have to see how that affects overarching plots and our characters, but the main FBI: Most Wanted cast we'd expect to make a return for season 6 is as follows:
- Dylan McDermott as Remy Scott
- Roxy Sternberg as second-in-command Sheryll Barnes
- Keisha Castle-Hughes as intelligence analyst Hana Gibson
- Edwin Hodge as sniper Ray Cannon
- Steven Williams as Ray Cannon Sr
- Shantel VanSanten as Special Agent Nina Chase
What will FBI: Most Wanted season 6 be about?

The season 5 finale of FBI: Most Wanted saw wedding preparations get underway for Ray Cannon (Edwin Hodge) and Cora Love (Caroline Harris) – but in typical dramatic fashion, a bomb was uncovered.
The series has been known to leave us on a cliffhanger and that it most certainly did, so we can expect that season 6 will address the fallout from the case and also Ray and Cora's wedding prep.
Previous seasons have obviously centred on a new case per week so we can assume that the show will continue its format and include some new guest stars as the team investigate all kinds of criminals in their work as the Fugitive Task Force.
We're sure there's plenty more Most Wanted we're yet to meet so can anticipate yet another gripping season.
Is there a trailer for FBI: Most Wanted season 6?
Not yet. As FBI: Most Wanted has yet to go into production for season 6, we are yet to get a trailer for the new season. But when one drops, we'll be sure to update this article accordingly!
