By the looks of the promo, the season 5 premiere is going to be explosive, literally. Special agent Remy Scott (Dylan McDermott) looks helplessly as a building surrounded by civilians starts to explode, with Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) delivering the news a bit too late. Crossover veteran Nina Chase (Shantel VanSanten) from the bureau’s New York office also looks to be joining both the Fugitive Task Force and the Most Wanted cast more regularly.

Here’s how to watch the latest season of FBI: Most Wanted.

Where to watch FBI: Most Wanted

The new season of FBI: Most Wanted will premiere on February 13, 10:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+ (right after FBI: International). New episodes will air every Tuesday at the same time slot.

Subscribers of Paramount+ with SHOWTIME can watch FBI: Most Wanted live, while subscribers of Paramount+ Essential will have to wait till the day after. Since the show is co-produced by Universal, the entire season will also be available on Peacock once it ends.

There are three ways to watch FBI: Most Wanted season 5: on CBS live, on Paramount+ the day after, or on Peacock after the season ends.

FBI: Most Wanted on Paramount+

I know, I know, another on-demand service? As if we need any more of that? But Paramount+ is one of the more reasonably priced streamers out there, filled to the brim with originals, blockbusters, and access to CBS depending on your plan. You can click the link below to learn more.

Paramount+

Paramount+ is an on-demand streaming service packed with original series like the Star Trek reboots, Billions, Yellowstone, and Fraiser, blockbusters like Top Gun and Transformers, and live sports from CBS. The ad-supported plan costs $6/month, while the ad-free plan costs $12/month. The latter includes offline downloads, your local CBS station, and the entirety of Showtime, which is home to fan favorites like Yellowjackets and The Curse.

FBI: Most Wanted on CBS

You can also watch the fifth season of FBI: Most Wanted on CBS without cable on one of these cord-cutting services:

Fubo

Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.

Hulu with Live TV

Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.

YouTube TV

Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.

Fubo Elite

If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.

Paramount+

Paramount+ is an on-demand streaming service packed with original series like the Star Trek reboots, Billions, Yellowstone, and Fraiser, blockbusters like Top Gun and Transformers, and live sports from CBS. The ad-supported plan costs $6/month, while the ad-free plan costs $12/month. The latter includes offline downloads, your local CBS station, and the entirety of Showtime, which is home to fan favorites like Yellowjackets and The Curse.

Season 4 ended on a bittersweet note

The season 4 finale saw Remy chase the real culprit behind his brother Mikey’s untimely death. It’s one of the more heart-shattering episodes of the series, a perfect encapsulation of the Martin Luther King Jr. line “Justice too long delayed is justice denied.” But the silver lining is that it did lead Remy to a life-changing revelation: he has a nephew, and it looks like the upcoming season will show him build ties with his long-lost relative.

The first four seasons are available to watch on Peacock

All 73 episodes of FBI: Most Wanted are available to stream on Peacock. Parmount+ may carry the most current season of FBI: Most Wanted (and other FBI shows for that matter), but Peacock has all the past seasons, plus the current one once the entire season ends.

If you like anticipating new episodes every week, go with Paramount+. But if you prefer to marathon a show and go back and forth seasons, then Peacock is for you.

Peacock

Apart from NBC sitcoms, Bravo reality shows, live news channels, and sports events like Sunday Night Football and Premier League matches, Peacock is also the streaming home to originals like Girls5Eva, Poker Face, and Bel-Air. A subscription costs $8/month, but if you want to opt out of ads and tune into your local NBC channel on top of all this, then you can choose their Premium Plus plan, which costs $14/month.
