NCIS is reaching One Piece level, at least in terms of length. The series just celebrated its 1,000th episode, and viewers are still tuning in. But will there be a Season 22? Does it have a release date? Let’s dive into it.
Recap of Season 21
First, where did Season 21 leave off? Drama! The seafaring NCIS team made landfall after solving three murders on the open water. While the waters seem settled, are they really? Special Agent Jessica Knight and Dr. Jimmy Palmer’s relationship is now on the rocks after a job offer threw a wrench into their gears. Jessica is headed to California, leaving fans wondering what Dr. Jimmy will do. Can their relationship be fixed in Season 22?
Is NCIS Season 22 Happening?
Indeed, CBS has decided that 21 seasons of the crime drama aren’t enough and greenlit a 22nd season. The series is slated to return in the fall. How long will it go on? Likely until the sun explodes, the stars fall, and the universe succumbs to entropy. And not a moment sooner.
When Will Season 22 Release?
As of now, there is no firm release date for NCIS Season 22. Signs point to early September, but in the unpredictable world of serial dramas, anything is possible. It’s also unclear whether Special Agent Jessica Knight’s new West Coast job means actress Katrina Law will leave the series. Could this be a big NCIS character departure fakeout? Or will she truly make an Irish goodbye like Gibbs, whose actor decided to quit the series? Only time will tell. And NCIS has nothing but time on its hands.
