Plot Synopsis

This reboot of the original AMERICA'S MOST WANTED debuted on Monday, March 15, 2021 at 8pm ET/PT on FOX.

Hosted by Elizabeth Vargas, Season 1 investigates some of the country's most dangerous fugitives. Each week, Vargas asks for viewers' help as she breaks down cases from the show's new headquarters, consulting with a team of experts representing law enforcement units such as the FBI, U.S. Marshall's Office and Secret Service. Deploying a myriad of advanced, modern-day developments in technology over the last several years, the series builds on its original format, in which crimes are reenacted, by utilizing new state-of-the-art crime-fighting technology, such as augmented reality and 3D life-size avatars that illustrate what suspects might look like now, pinpoint map-tracking that takes the audience hot-on-the-trail of suspects, and social media that connect viewers to the AMERICA'S MOST WANTED team. Viewers at home can attempt to aid in the pursuit of justice by using social media to try and help law enforcement track down culprits and keep America's neighborhoods safe.
