On the Tuesday, February 4 episode of FBI: MOST WANTED, the Fugitive Task Force witnesses a murder and “must hunt down a team of killers competing in a twisted online game.”

Though the FTF regularly tracks down the worst of the worst, “Ars Moriendi” starts off in an unconventional fashion: The teaser is shot as one continuous shot, with the camera following the characters for multiple scenes without a cut.

“The one-er was an exciting and grueling challenge that we took on for episode 10,” FBI: MOST WANTED showrunner David Hudgins told Give Me My Remote via email. “Producing director Ken Girotti and I were really interested in pushing the form of our show for this episode. It was seven scenes within that one camera move. We are constantly trying to keep the show moving and exciting. Propulsion is a big motor for us. The one-er was a challenging and effective way to accomplish that.”

“Prepping something like this for TV is an immense challenge due to quick turnarounds,” he continued. “But after months of planning with department heads and long rehearsals, Ken, the cast, and the crew showed up and pulled it off. It’s maybe my favorite thing we have been able to do on the show so far. I really hope people love it as much as we do!”

One person who is a fan? FBI: MOST WANTED star Roxy Sternberg, who has played Special Agent Barnes since the show’s inception as a backdoor pilot on FBI in 2019. “That is going to be epic,” Sternberg told GMMR on the first day of production on the episode. “I cannot wait. It’s where the crime happens, literally, in front of us. We’re sitting down in a diner, minding our own business, just talking, talking, talking. There’s talk about my [character’s] mother wanting me to be on a dating site. And then the crime happens in this one-er… but it plays out right in front of us while we’re there, which it never happens…So it’s very different in many ways, and it sounds like it’s going to be epic.”

After filming on the CBS drama for so many years, Sternberg appreciated that the creative team was taking big swings. “Oh, I love it; it keeps it fresh,” she gushed. “I absolutely love it. There’s been so many changes throughout the show. This is not the same show that we started five-and-a-half, six years ago. There’s been a lot of character changes. There’s been a lot of writing changes. We’ve had two different showrunners. I’ve loved all of the actors that I’ve worked with, but I think it keeps it fresh when they think outside of the box, when new people, fresh people, come in. It keeps it alive.”

“So I love that they’re thinking [about] season 6 in a fresh way,” she continued. “They’re thinking of doing new camera tricks, new angles, new things. I love that no one’s become complacent. Everyone’s always trying to make it better, trying to make it more exciting. So I absolutely love it, and it keeps it exciting.”
