We still have a month until we meet Dylan McDermott’s new FBI: Most Wanted character, but you don’t have to wait until then for a tease of what to expect.

The star shared a couple of photos from set, though neither gives us a very good look of him, on March 10. For now, all we can see is it looks like he’ll be wearing a suit (which we could have assumed). All he wrote in the caption was the date of his first episode — April 12 — and the hashtag for the show. See the photos below.

McDermott is coming in as the Fugitive Task Force’s new leader, following Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon) being killed in the line of duty in “Shattered.” There is the question of who will lead until his introduction. “In [the next] two episodes, it’s the team figuring that dynamic out, working through their grief and figuring out a way that they can work together and hanging over all of that is sort of this idea of who’s the new person gonna be,” showrunner and executive producer David Hudgins told TV Insider.

As for McDermott’s character, about whom we know very little, “we looked at it as an opportunity to reinvigorate, to shake up the dynamic. And so by the time he comes in in [Episode] 317, the team is eagerly awaiting to see what happens when he gets there. He shows up, and we’re off to the races,” the EP continued. “We were thinking it should be somebody who does have a different style than Jess, somebody who has a different outlook, maybe approaches the cases in a different way, but ultimately just like Jess, is motivated by justice, by getting the fugitive in every episode.”

Once McDermott joins, “we’re building out an arc for his character and an arc for the team and the other characters that will hopefully all intersect by the time we get to the finale,” Hudgins teased.
