CBS has officially confirmed the renewal of its long-standing hit series, “NCIS,” for an impressive 21st season. Additionally, fans can celebrate as “NCIS: Hawaii” is set to return for its third season. These renewals solidify “NCIS” reaching its 450th episode on February 27, and the series is on track to achieve a remarkable milestone of 500 episodes.
The announcement comes amidst speculation and excitement, particularly with the impending conclusion of “NCIS: LA” after its 14th season. CBS is reaffirming its commitment to a successful lineup, expressing confidence in both returning favorites and the introduction of new blockbuster shows.
Following Mark Harmon’s departure, Gary Cole has assumed leadership of “NCIS,” introducing new characters and storylines. Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, lauded the show’s success, attributing it to the exceptional talent both in front of and behind the camera.
The 20th season provided an opportunity to explore fresh narratives with the introduction of new characters, maintaining the show’s dynamic and engaging nature.
Reisenbach expressed optimism about the network’s continued success, pledging to deliver top-notch content in the upcoming fall season. Brian Dietzen, a key cast member, hinted at the possibility of a 21st season during an interview with Looper, suggesting that plans for the next season were already underway.
While the storyline for the upcoming season remains a mystery with no official updates, Dietzen’s comments and the show’s track record indicate that the creators still have compelling narratives to explore. While Mark Harmon’s return remains uncertain, familiar faces like Sean Murray, David McCallum, Pauley Perrette, Wilmer Valderrama, Gary Cole, Brian Dietzen, Katrina Law, and Rocky Carroll are expected to return to their respective roles.
While the premiere date for the 21st season hasn’t been officially announced, historical patterns suggest a September 2023 release. The tradition of September premieres has been consistent from Season 2 through Season 20. However, in the unlikely event of schedule delays, the season might be pushed to 2024.
Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement and anticipation for the upcoming season. Some hope for the return of original characters, but CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach emphasized the importance of giving a proper send-off to treasured members of the CBS family.
As details about Season 21 unfold, one thing remains certain – “NCIS” continues to captivate the hearts of viewers, promising more riveting stories and unforgettable moments in its remarkable television journey.
