NCIS, a compelling drama born from JAG, has remained a primetime favorite since its 2003 debut. CBS renewed it for a 21st season, premiering on February 12, 2023, after a temporary production pause due to strikes, which concluded in November 2023.
The Season 20 finale left audiences on the edge with a thwarted Russian terrorist attack and Special Agent Torres facing a mysterious confrontation. The actors’ strike may impact cast negotiations, but major players, like Wilmer Valderrama, are expected to return. Sadly, David McCallum won’t be back after his passing in September 2023.
For viewing, cable subscribers can access episodes on CBS.com, while all 20 seasons are on Paramount+. The streaming service also features spinoffs like NCIS: Hawaii, NCIS: New Orleans, and NCIS: Sydney.
