NCIS Season 22 Photos Reveal Shocking Return of Fan Favorite—Debunking Exit Rumors!

CBS has officially confirmed that Katrina Law will reprise her role as Jessica Knight in NCIS Season 22, putting to rest rumors about her possible exit. Although the Season 21 finale hinted at Knight’s potential departure with a tempting job offer, promotional images for the upcoming season confirm that she remains a key member of the Major Case Response Team (MCRT).

This announcement reassures fans who were concerned about Knight’s future on the show. The storyline surrounding her possible exit mirrors past NCIS arcs involving characters like Ellie Bishop, Ziva David, and Kate Todd, where the threat of departure loomed but the characters ultimately stayed.
