Julian McMahon, Kellan Lutz, Keisha Castle-Hughes and Nathanial Arcand joined FBI: Most Wanted when the series started in 2020. Dylan McDermott became part of the show following McMahon’s season 3 exit.
McDermott, 63, signed on for the role of Supervisory Special Agent Remy Scott, head of the FBI's Fugitive Task Force. "It was an easy yes for me to sign on to FBI: Most Wanted,” McDermott told PEOPLE in a March 2022 interview.
The American Horror Story actor added, “Having just worked with Dick Wolf on Law and Order: Organized Crime, he allowed me a freedom to invent Richard Wheatley that I absolutely reveled in. Then he encouraged that same freedom for Remy Scott in FBI: Most Wanted."
