It's a good time to be a fan of the FBI franchise, as viewers in the UK are about to see the first episodes in all three series in Dick Wolf's franchise.

That not only includes the main FBI series, but also spin-offs FBI: International and, of course, FBI: Most Wanted.
This season of the latter show is set to be a big one, but unlike the other two shows, it seems that the regular cast are all set to return.
However, that doesn't mean there haven't been any casting shake-ups, as it has been revealed that some of the actors will be doing fewer episodes in the new season.
But what else can fans expect from the new season? Read on for everything you need to know about FBI: Most Wanted season 6, including the confirmed US release date, who could be returning and what it could be about.
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.
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 seen as 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 under way 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 we can anticipate yet another gripping season.
