NCIS Star Brian Dietzen Stuns Fans with Season 21 Photo – Major Reactions Unleashed!
Brian Dietzen generated a significant response from NCIS fans by sharing a new promotional photo for the upcoming 21st season of the CBS drama. In the Instagram post, Brian showcased the main cast, featuring Gary Cole, Wilmer Valderrama, Katrina Law, Rocky Carroll, Sean Murray, and Diona Reasonover walking together in the iconic headquarters.
Brian reminded fans of the season premiere date, February 12 at 9/8c on CBS, leading to an outpouring of excitement in the comments section. However, some fans noted the absence of the late David McCallum, who portrayed Dr. Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard from seasons one to 20.
Expressing sentiments about missing David, fans shared hopes for a special tribute episode. Many anticipated the second episode of the new season, set to honor David, who passed away in September the previous year. The tribute episode, scheduled for February 19, features Ducky aiding the team in solving one last crime from beyond the grave.
Teasing the episode, co-showrunners Steven D. Binder and David North revealed that the team would learn of Ducky’s passing, reflecting on their memories of him as they grieve. Despite his absence, Ducky’s meticulous and compassionate nature continues to influence the team, showcasing his impact.
While fans speculated about possible cameos from former stars like Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, and Pauley Perrette during the tribute, the showrunners remained tight-lipped. However, they hinted at “a very touching and special moment” in the episode.
As for the upcoming season’s storylines, CBS has kept details under wraps. Still, it is expected to address unresolved plotlines from the season 20 finale, particularly Special Agent Nick Torres’ undercover mission in prison and the mysterious confrontation at an older man’s house.
The unresolved questions from the previous season add to the anticipation for the new season, leaving fans eager to discover the twists and turns that lie ahead.
