Breaking News! Everything We Know About NCIS Season 22 – Latest Shocking Details Revealed!
Everything We Know About NCIS Season 22
The long-running series is returning with big questions surrounding Special Agent Jessica Knight. Over two decades ago, CBS revolutionized procedural dramas with NCIS, a show that combined crime-solving with workplace dynamics, bringing fans closer to a cast of characters they came to love. Now, over 20 seasons and multiple spin-offs later, the original series is still going strong, even as the cast has evolved significantly since its 2003 debut. NCIS has become synonymous with prime-time ratings success, as evidenced by the popularity of its various spin-offs.
What makes NCIS special, and what fans adore about it, are the characters. As NCIS: Origins co-showrunner and former NCIS writer David J. North said at the Television Critics Association press tour in July, “That has remained true no matter which characters have been part of this show.” The enduring popularity of NCIS is evident, even after the departure of major characters like Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), and Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon).
While details about the upcoming NCIS Season 22 are limited, there are plenty of questions and speculations. When will Season 22 premiere? Who will return? And what will the season’s storylines be? Here’s what we know so far:
NCIS Season 22 Premiere Date and Overview
NCIS Season 22 is set to debut on Monday, October 14, at 8/7c. The show will be followed immediately by the two-hour series premiere of the prequel NCIS: Origins. Starting October 21, NCIS will move to the 9/8c slot. After a shorter-than-usual Season 21 due to the writers’ strike, Season 22 is expected to have 21 episodes.

What to Expect in Season 22
The cast has only recently returned to set to film Season 22, so an official synopsis is not yet available. However, Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Special Agent Nick Torres, hinted that Season 22 would elevate the series. “It’s not going to be your casual, ‘Oh, your favorite team is in trouble,'” Valderrama teased in an interview with People. “It’s going to be more personal, more soul-shattering. There will be some tragedy this season.”
Adding to the intrigue is the uncertainty surrounding Katrina Law’s return as Jessica Knight and what her potential departure could mean for her relationship with Jimmy Palmer. Additionally, there’s concern about Special Agent Alden Parker (Gary Cole), who is recovering from injuries sustained in the Season 21 finale.
As always, NCIS promises to keep fans on their toes with exciting storylines and character developments. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the Season 22 premiere!
