NCIS star Katrina Law reveals a new acting role after hints of departure. The Season 21 finale suggested Jessica Knight, played by Law, might be leaving the show. Since wrapping up filming, Law has kept busy and is now set to star in the upcoming thriller film Werewolves alongside Captain America actor Frank Grillo.
The supernatural drama focuses on the aftermath of a supermoon event that triggers a latent gene in every human, turning anyone who entered the moonlight into a werewolf for one night. Chaos ensued, resulting in nearly a billion deaths. Now, a year later, the supermoon is back. The film also stars Ilfenesh Hadera (Godfather of Harlem), James Michael Cummings (City on a Hill), and Lou Diamond Phillips (Prodigal Son).
Law shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting a photo of her co-star Grillo alongside a first-look image of a werewolf. She captioned it, “Look at @frankgrillo1 looking like a snack, literally. This one is going to be fun.” Fans quickly congratulated her on the new project, with one commenting, “This sounds amazing! Looking forward to seeing it,” and another adding, “Congrats on this new movie!”
Jessica Knight’s future on NCIS remains uncertain. In the Season 21 finale, Knight accepted a role as the Chief REACT Training Officer at Camp Pendleton, saying, “Hell yeah, let’s do it,” to Director Vance (Rocky Carroll). Her boyfriend, Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), encouraged her to take the job, reassuring her they could make a long-distance relationship work.
In an interview with TVLine, Law discussed her character’s decision: “I think that at the end, Jessica has to take this position because she knows deep down this is what she wants. She’s very ambitious, and to her, a long-distance relationship isn’t the end of things. At the same time, maybe it is. If it doesn’t work out, she has to go forward and see where these things lead. She can’t settle into something she knows will ultimately make her angry and have regrets.” When asked if she’ll be back for Season 22, Law teased, “You better tune in for that season opener.”
While NCIS fans are left speculating about the show’s future, Katrina Law’s announcement of her new project offers excitement and a glimpse into her evolving career. Law expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to explore different facets of her craft and thanked her NCIS family for their support. Fans eagerly await her new role, confident that she will continue to captivate audiences with her talent and charisma.
As NCIS faces potential cast changes, Law’s departure would leave a significant void. However, her enthusiastic embrace of her new role hints at a bright future. With a proven track record of standout performances, fans can rest assured that Law will continue to shine in the entertainment industry.
The outpouring of support from fans reflects the impact Law has had on audiences, solidifying her status as a fan favorite.

While the future of NCIS is uncertain, Katrina Law’s journey is far from over. Audiences can look forward to her continued success and evolution as an actress in her exciting new role.
