Which NCIS Character Exits Will Be Most Heartbreaking in 2024?

NCIS, the long-running TV show, has seen several main characters come and go over its two-decade history. Unlike some shows that falter when key characters depart, NCIS has continued to thrive.

While details about the upcoming season (season 21) have been scarce due to its 2024 release, it is known that there could be more character departures. One character whose exit has sparked rumors is Nick Torres, portrayed by Wilmer Valderrama. His personal controversies have fueled speculation about his departure, although nothing has been officially confirmed. Torres’ character played a vital role on the NCIS team, and his storyline from the previous season, culminating in a tense confrontation, added depth to the show.

Unfortunately, it is confirmed that David McCallum, who portrayed Donald “Ducky” Mallard, has passed away. This news saddened fans and led to questions about how the show will address his absence. It remains unclear whether Ducky’s character will be written out or if the show will pay tribute to the actor, possibly with appearances by original cast members.

In summary, NCIS continues to navigate character changes, and while rumors circulate about one character’s exit, the show faces the challenge of addressing the real-life loss of a beloved actor.
