CBS has already renewed a few shows for the 2024-2025 season—Tracker (Season 2), Ghosts (Season 4), and Fire Country (Season 3)—and one that seems to be a lock, for its 22nd season, is NCIS.
“You never know how things are going to go,” Sean Murray (who has played Timothy McGee on the long-running procedural since its first season) tells TV Insider. “But knowing the way that things are going now and seeing the response we’re getting here in this sort of abbreviated Season 21, I think things will go well and I would expect to see a Season 22, very much so.” (Season 21 is 10 episodes, with the fifth airing on March 25.)
That sentiment echoes what Brian Dietzen (who has been playing Dr. Jimmy Palmer since Season 1) told us ahead of the special tribute episode to the late David McCallum and his character, Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard, he co-wrote. “I’m hoping [there will be another season]. I think that no one ever wants to count their chickens, but I think that the show has been doing really well,” he said. “And why stop at 1,000? I feel like we’re halfway there. We want a clean, even 2,000. We’ll just keep it rolling.”
The franchise, which reaches its 1,000th episode with NCIS’ April 15 installment, keeps expanding, too. While Los Angeles and New Orleans have both ended (after 14 and seven seasons, respectively), Hawai’i is in its third season (and we have a good feeling about its chances for a fourth), Sydney has aired its first, and two new series have been ordered.
