Curious about whether Dylan McDermott’s Remy Scott from FBI: Most Wanted is leaving the show? We have all the details. As Season 6 continues, fans are questioning whether Remy Scott’s recent disappearance signals a major change in the series.
Let’s break down what we know about McDermott’s absence, the reasons behind it, and what it means for the show moving forward.
Could Dylan McDermott’s Remy be exiting FBI Most Wanted?
Dylan McDermott’s character, Remy Scott, was absent from FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 13, “Greek Tragedy,” leading to speculation about his departure.
CBS and Dylan McDermott have not officially confirmed his exit from the series. Despite fan concerns, his absence does not necessarily mean a permanent departure. Reports link Remy’s absence to budget adjustments affecting FBI: Most Wanted.
CBS implemented a cost-cutting strategy that limits the number of guaranteed episodes for regular cast members. As a result, McDermott and other lead actors may miss certain episodes while still receiving pay for their contracted appearances.
Why Remy wasn’t in FBI Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 13?
In FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 13, “Greek Tragedy,” the Fugitive Task Force investigated the murders of two sorority sisters while Hana faced personal struggles involving her ex. Despite being the team’s leader, Remy Scott was missing from the episode, with no in-show explanation provided for his absence. His disappearance raised questions about whether this was a temporary or recurring situation.
Behind the scenes, Remy’s absence aligns with CBS’s approach to budget management. Deadline reported that actors in the FBI franchise are contracted for 20 guaranteed paid episodes per season, regardless of their actual appearances. This allows networks to allocate character appearances strategically without reducing pay. Networks have applied similar cost-saving methods to other dramas, including Grey’s Anatomy and Law & Order.
Although CBS has not officially confirmed how often McDermott will be absent, the show may distribute his appearances across the season to keep him involved in major storylines. FBI: Most Wanted airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Paramount+.
