The FBI: Most Wanted series has been a solid performer for CBS since its debut and its ratings have outperformed longer-running shows. Now, the network has devoted its entire Tuesday night schedule to the series in the FBI franchise. Will this move negatively or positively affect the ratings? Will FBI: Most Wanted be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A procedural drama, FBI: Most Wanted is a spin-off of the FBI TV series. The show stars Julian McMahon, Alexa Davalos, Roxy Sternberg, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Miguel Gomez, and Dylan McDermott. The story focuses on the work of the Fugitive Task Force, a team that tracks and captures the notorious criminals on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Most Wanted list. The highly skilled agents function as a mobile undercover unit that’s always out in the field, pursuing those who are most desperate to elude justice. Jess LaCroix (McMahon), a seasoned but enigmatic agent, oversees the team which includes forensics expert Sheryll Barnes (Sternberg); computer and hacking whiz Hana Gibson (Castle-Hughes); undercover pro Ivan Ortiz (Gomez); and Navy veteran and cold-case expert Kristin Gaines (Davalos).
