It’s the end of an era for two beloved shows in CBS’s FBI franchise. FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International have officially wrapped filming on their latest—and possibly most emotional—episodes, marking a significant moment for the casts, crews, and loyal audiences.
The wrap signals the completion of production on the final episodes for their current seasons, with both series delivering intense storylines that promise to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. While FBI continues as the flagship series, these two spinoffs have carved out their own identities: Most Wanted with its high-stakes fugitive hunts and International with its globe-trotting cases.
An Emotional Farewell on Set
Behind the scenes, the atmosphere was a mix of pride and nostalgia. Cast members took to social media and press interviews to share their gratitude and reflect on the journey. Dylan McDermott, who leads the Fugitive Task Force in Most Wanted, praised the hardworking crew and thanked fans for their dedication, saying the series has been “a career highlight and a team effort.”
Meanwhile, International star Luke Kleintank shared his thoughts on filming the final scenes abroad, noting that the series offered unique opportunities to bring American procedural drama to international landscapes. “This show pushed us creatively,” Kleintank said. “We’ve told stories that are bigger than any one location, and that’s something I’ll always cherish.”
Why the Wrap Matters
Though CBS has not announced cancellations, the completion of filming always invites speculation about the future of a series. The FBI franchise has been a ratings success, but the TV landscape is shifting. By wrapping their final episodes for the season, both Most Wanted and International have given their writers and directors a chance to craft strong closing moments, whether or not renewal news is around the corner.
Fans can expect these episodes to showcase everything that made the shows stand out—fast-paced action, high emotional stakes, and character-driven plots that resonate beyond the case of the week.
Cast Tributes and Hopes for the Future
The casts are not only saying goodbye for now but are also leaving the door open for what’s next. Roxy Sternberg, Keisha Castle-Hughes, and the rest of the Most Wanted team hinted at unfinished stories they’d love to explore, while International’s ensemble spoke about the unique bond formed while filming across Europe.
Producers have praised the teams for their dedication and creativity, emphasizing that these episodes represent some of the franchise’s strongest work yet. “These shows have pushed boundaries for what a procedural can be,” one producer said. “We’re excited for fans to see what we’ve created.”
When to Watch
The final episodes of FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International are expected to air later this season, with CBS promising high-stakes plots and surprises that will satisfy longtime viewers. Whether these mark a temporary farewell or a permanent sendoff, fans can look forward to a strong finish from two shows that have helped expand the FBI universe.
