We are still awaiting the arrival of NCIS Season 21. What do we currently know about the season? Why is there a delay? Here is everything that you need to know.
Even though we'd love to see a new season of NCIS already, it's not going to happen. That's not to say it will never happen; it's just that the programme will not premiere this autumn, as is customary.All of this is a result of the strike delays. The WGA went on strike in May 2023, followed by SAG-AFTRA in July 2023. All of this has led to a halt of production. Without production, no episodes would exist. And we absolutely do not want the unions to accept an unfair agreement.
What do we currently know about the season? Many changes are possible, and we will keep this post updated. Currently, the following is known.
When will Season 21 of NCIS premiere?
Do not expect a premiere in the near future. The network intended to bring the programme back in the autumn of 2023, but strikes prevented that. There will be reruns in the autumn, but new episodes won't air until at least 2024. However, it is unclear when the earliest will be.We are unable to comment until the writers and actors return to work. This is taking quite some time.
How many episodes are there in Season 21 of NCIS?
Typically, there are 20 episodes per season. That will not occur during this season. The most recent information we have is that production must resume by Labour Day weekend in order to complete 13 episodes for the broadcast season. That has not occurred.
The number of episodes will now depend on how long the strike delays last. CBS will not want to push any of the major programmes into the summer, so there will be as many episodes as will fit between May 2024 and whenever the shows can resume production.Who will feature in Season 21 of NCIS?
This season has not seen any verified departures. We anticipate the return of everyone, including David McCallum as Ducky. Obviously, we only anticipate McCallum to appear in a few episodes here and there as he continues to distance himself from acting.
Here is a glimpse at the returning principal cast members:Gary Cole as NCIS Special Agent Supervisor Alden Parker
Timothy McGee is portrayed by Sean Murray as Senior Field Agent for the NCIS.
Wilmer Valderrama as NCIS Special Agent Nicholas Torres is portrayed by Wilmer Valderrama.
Law portrays NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight.
Diona Reasonover is the NCIS Forensics Expert. Jessica Hines
Brian Dietzen in the role of Dr. Jimmy Palmer
Rocky Carroll as Director of the NCIS Leon Vance
We also anticipate the return of Joe Spano as the former FBI agent Fornell. This would only be for occasional guest appearances, but we are prepared.
What will transpire in Season 21 of NCIS?
We have no idea what to anticipate this season because the writers haven't returned to work. There are absolutely no promises. However, we can gain insight by examining the final episode of the previous season.
Nick Torres was left in an intriguing circumstance. He was seated in someone's home; an individual with ties to him and his family.
He is willing to kill this individual, but doing so would jeopardise his entire career and liberty. Will he murder the victim? What took place in the past? We are eager to learn.
