Get Ready for NCIS Season 22: Release Date, Cast, and Episode Count Revealed!
Excitement is building as NCIS prepares to return for its highly anticipated Season 22! After a long break since the Season 21 finale in May, fans are eager to see what lies ahead for their favorite characters. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.
Release Date
NCIS Season 22 is set to premiere on Monday, October 14, on CBS. The series has been off the air since May, leaving fans anxious to catch up with Agent Jessica Knight, portrayed by Katrina Law, who took on a new role as Camp Pendleton’s REACT instructor. Despite her departure from the core team, Law will still appear in Season 22, ensuring her fans will get to see more of her character.
Cast
The cast for Season 22 is expected to mirror that of the previous season, with several fan-favorite characters returning. Gary Cole will reprise his role as supervisory special agent Alden Parker, while Sean Murray returns as Agent Timothy McGee. Other familiar faces include Wilmer Valderrama as Nick Torres, Brian Dietzen as chief medical examiner Jimmy Palmer, Diona Reasonover as Kasie Hines, and Rocky Carroll as Leon Vance.
While there was speculation regarding Jessica Knight’s future following the Season 21 finale, showrunner Steven D. Binder has hinted that her departure will create a “chain reaction” affecting the dynamics among the remaining team members. With McGee aiming for a deputy director position and Torres off on another undercover mission, viewers can expect significant character developments as the team navigates these changes.
Episode Count
Unlike the previous season, which was cut short to just 10 episodes due to the actors’ and writers’ strike, NCIS Season 22 will feature a total of 21 episodes. This expanded episode count promises more thrilling storylines and deeper explorations of character arcs. The creators have kept most episode titles under wraps, but the first episode is titled “Empty Nest,” hinting at emotional developments following Jessica’s departure.
What to Expect in Season 22
As the series picks up six months after the Season 21 finale, fans can look forward to exploring how the characters adapt to their new circumstances and how Jessica’s exit influences the team’s cohesion. With a blend of intrigue, drama, and the classic NCIS humor fans have come to love, Season 22 promises to deliver engaging narratives and compelling character moments.
Don’t miss the return of NCIS on October 14, and prepare for an action-packed season filled with twists and turns!
