From Matt Carter:

“MacGyver Season 5 Episode 6 Spoilers: A Story in the Quarantine Era”

Excerpt: “Will the romantic fling for Russ be something that plays out down the road?

We’re certainly thinking about it, especially since most of the Russ stories prove to be so fun.

Henry Ian Cusick is getting a chance to run wild with this character, which is something we certainly appreciate —

it’s a very-different role in that way from anyone he has ever played before.”
