NEW CRIME DRAMA

FBI: Most Wanted

Thursday, Sky Witness HD, 10 pm

New high-stakes spin-off FBI: Most Wanted hits our screens this week and sees veteran agent Jess LaCroix lead the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force in the hunt for dangerous suspects on the bureau’s most-wanted list.

The team were introduced in the first season of US drama FBI, and the new series follows the unit while they travel in a high-tech bus that serves as their office as they pursue a range of villains, from an anti-government terrorist to a student who embarks on a terrifying killing spree.

‘The difference between the two shows is that FBI: Most Wanted is more of a road-trip drama,’ says Julian McMahon, who plays LaCroix. ‘We are a mobile unit and pursue the bad guys wherever they are heading – whether that’s Upstate New York or North Carolina.’

PERSONAL DEMONS

The opening episode sees LaCroix on the trail of Dr Justin Brock, played by Henry Thomas (Elliott in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial). Brock has been prescribing opioids, no questions asked, and goes on the run after shooting his wife dead.
