FBI: MOST WANTED’s David Hudgins on Utilizing Characters from the Larger FBI Universe
October 29, 2024 by Marisa Roffman
FBI: MOST WANTED is staging a mini-crossover with the Tuesday, October 29 episode, “White Buffalo” as FBI’s Scola (John Boyd) helps while Nina’s (Shantel VanSanten) family is in town.
And with the shows back to regular season orders—after last season’s strike-shortened run—expect more mini-crossovers to come.
“Well, obviously Scola and Nina are dating, so we’ve got episodes on our show that Scola is in and vice versa; Shantel is going to go over to that show[, too],” FBI: MOST WANTED showrunner David Hudgins tells Give Me My Remote. “I love that. I love the connective tissue of that. I always try to get [FBI’s] Isobel as much as I can, because I love Alana [De La Garza], and I think it helps ground the show.”
“[MOST WANTED’s] Remy has got his own office this year,” he continues. “One of the reasons we did that was it gives him a place to have scenes with people instead of the whole team. So I think we’re going to see his relationship growing with Isobel, too. And…there’s talk about [MOST WANTED’s] Edwin [Hodge] maybe being in an INTERNATIONAL episode. So the three of us, the showrunners [of FBI and FBI: INTERNATIONAL], every now [and then], it’s like, ‘Hey, who you got? Who can I use? What stories can we tell?’ I love it, and I think the audience does, too.”
Hudgins also has hopes there might be a larger crossover in store, too. “In terms of an official three-hour crossover, we always want to do that,” the showrunner says. “They’re incredibly challenging to produce, but they’re great. Everybody loves them. We don’t have a specific target yet, but that’s something we would like to try to do in the spring.”
