There is nothing worse than watching your favorite show become less and less entertaining with each new episode. Sometimes it's the writers, who seem to lose the spark and keep putting the characters in repetitive cycles. Other times, it's the actors, whose work on the set becomes less and less interesting.
Either way, the moment the show stops feeling exciting and authentic, viewers want it to end. As NCIS celebrates the finale of its 21st season, it is also celebrating the continued interest of its audience. However, if the show hadn't dodged the bullet in 2018, its fate could have been very different.
Why Did Abby Leave NCIS?
A fun and quirky forensic scientist, Abby Sciuto has been an important part of the team since the very first season. Portrayed by Pauley Perrette, the character has managed to break stereotypes about the profession with her unconventional looks but brilliant mind. Abby...

NCIS fans are definitely having some concerns regarding the franchise’s future as many of them have been quite vocal about recent, and pretty much disappointing, decisions that are currently transforming the entire NCIS universe.
Several weeks ago, the franchise officially lost one of its most successful spinoffs NCIS: Hawai’i, but its attempts to make it up to the scrapped show by launching two more series doesn’t really seem to be working.
Regardless of whether fans are excited about it or not, NCIS is getting a replacement for NCIS: Hawai’i by giving a whole new show to the universe’s biggest figure Leroy Jethro Gibbs, something the longtime lovers of the franchise have already lamented over.
Now that there’s no way for NCIS: Hawai’i to be back and Gibbs’ spinoff titled NCIS: Origins is already on its way, fans are determined to consider the upcoming show for watching...

More than 400 episodes, 21 seasons, millions of fans — this is NCIS, one of the most popular shows on television right now. The project has had its ups and downs, there were characters that fans loved and hated.
And there were those who left the show but remained forever in the hearts of viewers who still hope for their return. Here are four of the most beloved NCIS characters whose fates on the show weren't long enough.
1. Abby Sciuto played by Pauley Perrette
Pauley Perrette's Abby was one of the few remaining original cast members, so fans took it hard when Pauley announced she was leaving the show in 2017.

Seems like the last few months have been quite a tough time for the NCIS franchise and especially for its fans. Though things aren’t that bad for the show itself and its spinoffs as NCIS keeps expanding its universe with two more series making their way to the screens soon, some other shows’ brief history on TV isn’t what many viewers would ever want to have.
The recently canceled NCIS: Hawai’i’s huge fandom has been vocal about their intention to bring the show back on TV ever since it was officially scrapped by CBS several weeks ago, and fans’ own investigations prove that another NCIS spinoff is to blame for NCIS: Hawai’i’s unenviable fate.
Even apart from the fact that the upcoming show has completely ruined its fellow series, many fans agree that nobody needs this new spinoff anyway.

Nick appeared in the premiere episode of season 14, replacing fan favorite Tony Dinozzo. He returned to D.C. to bring the person responsible for his brother-in-law's death to justice. At first, Nick seemed too hot-tempered, but over time he joined the team and became an integral part of it.
Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Torres, earns about $100,000 per episode.
4. David McCallum as Dr. Donald Mallard — $175,000

NCIS season 21 finale left everyone on the hook waiting impatiently for another installment to finally reveal what the future holds for the McRt after Jessica Knight’s inevitable departure. The latest season’s ending made it pretty clear that Knight might not leave the entire show for good, yet her position will definitely get vacant once she starts her career on the other side of the country.
While NCIS has nothing yet to tease about its upcoming season and all the changes it will bring, all of Jessica Knight’s potential successors seem to have one peculiar detail in common.
Should Jessica Knight step away from being a part of the McRt, her duties will be taken over by someone who will come into a fully refreshed team with another leader at its helm. Right up to season 19, the McRt was navigated by its invariable supervisor, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, until...

Netflix has changed its mind concerning the hit TV show NCIS. The streaming giant had said that it was removing the series completely at the end of June. This upset many fans, as it remains one of the most watched shows on television, and that includes on Netflix. The good news is that Netflix won’t remove the entire series.
Here is a look at what Netflix is doing with NCIS and when it goes into effect.
Netflix Will Keep Some NCIS Seasons After June
The original news stated that Netflix was removing NCIS from the streaming service at the end of June. It wasn’t much of a surprise since Paramount+ is the official home of the show and has the new episodes up after they air on CBS. However, for past seasons, the two streaming services shared the show.
That will remain true after June, now. However, it...

NCIS season 21 finale left fans across the world wondering how things will turn after the big cliffhanger that gives no certainty about Jessica Knight’s further fate. Well, it’s not bad after all, given that she finally got her dream job of the Chief React Training Officer, but what’s uncertain here is who is destined to take over Knight’s position at the McRt after she’s inevitably sent across the country to a new workplace.
While there’s nothing to say about whether Knight will leave the show for good or will rather appear as a guest in the upcoming seasons, the challengers for her vacant place are quite numerous, but only one of them fits in for several reasons at once.

Even though it’s not the guest stars who make the show, but the regular cast, there is some magic about one-episode characters played by someone the audience knows and loves. Just like every major procedural on TV that has been running long enough, NCIS had its fair share of actors, hosts and even political figures joining the team.
Here are 8 biggest names who have joined the NCIS family throughout the years, and where exactly in the show you can find them.
Troian Bellisario
Best known for her portrayal of Spencer Hastings in Pretty Little Liars, Bellisario appeared in two episodes of NCIS as Agent McGee's sister, Sarah. Her appearance on the show before her big break is easy to explain, as Troian is the daughter of Donald P. Bellisario, the mastermind behind both Jag and NCIS.

The NCIS franchise keeps expanding its universe as it’s about to bring Leroy Jethro Gibbs to the screens, the character who left the original show back in season 19. The franchise’s new spinoff titled NCIS: Origins will take its viewers back to 1991 when young Gibbs was about to start his career as an NCIS agent.
Now that the whole series will put its focus on the character’s personal and professional story, Gibbs appears to get not only an honor of his own show, but also the status of the franchise’s most featured character that previously belonged to someone else.
By taking up the spotlight in the upcoming spinoff, Gibbs officially becomes the NCIS universe’s indispensable game player who’ll now be featured in four shows of the franchise.
Earlier, the character already appeared in the original series, NCIS: New Orleans and Jug, with NCIS: Origins coming...

When the show lasts as long and has as many branches as NCIS, changes are inevitable. While some are more welcome than others, sometimes fans just have to brace themselves and prepare for all possible scenarios. After Gibbs' departure from the show, this point has become even more apparent.
While it's understandable that it can be hard to get used to any replacement, change isn't always bad. And if you open your eyes and your heart, you may come to accept the way the show is going, as many other fans have already done. The devastating truth is that Alden Parker is exactly the person NCIS needs.
Why Didn’t McGee Replace Gibbs?
Everyone in and out of the NCIS universe was shocked to see McGee remain a senior agent instead of taking Gibbs' place when he left. It seems like a no-brainer not only to the audience, but also to Leon Vance,...

NCIS: Hawai’i’s story may be over, but some of its actors aren’t going anywhere, and in quite a weird way. The show was officially canceled earlier this year after 3 seasons, but the NCIS franchise lives on with the original show’s continuous long-standing run and two more spinoffs making their way to the screens quite soon.
Though characters’ shift from one show to another within the same universe is something normal on modern TV, the recent casting news regarding one of NCIS’ spinoffs isn’t what fans may have expected in this case at all.
Though NCIS: Hawai’i has been unfairly ditched, NCIS nonetheless gets more space to expand its universe by diving deeper into the main characters’ personal and professional stories.

This new show from the NCISverse is taking some risks, as the producers hope fans want to see stories from younger versions of some important characters.
Flashback episodes of NCIS went over very well, with stories like when Leroy Jethro Gibbs first met Donald Mallard. They even had Mark Harmon’s son (Sean Harmon) play a younger version of Gibbs.
The idea to do flashbacks has been fleshed out into a full series, with episodes of NCIS: Origins debuting in Fall 2024.
The new show gets the 10/9c timeslot on Mondays that has been vacated by NCIS: Hawai’i. Unfortunately, the Vanessa Lachey NCIS spin-off was canceled by CBS.

NCIS’ upcoming prequel centring on Mark Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs is gradually piecing together as the show is getting its preps for the production. Coming under the name NCIS: Origins, the series will take the viewers back to 1991 showing Gibbs, this time portrayed by younger actor Austin Stowell, at the very start of his NCIS agent’s career.
While CBS is all excited to find a substitute for the canceled NCIS: Hawaii’s time slot, some fans don’t seem to be that enthusiastic after the show’s execs released its first promo image.
The NCIS: Origins’ image gives a first look at Stowell as young Gibbs, and though the actor seems to be a good fit for the show, something in there still doesn’t look quite right. Some fans were quick to point out that, surprisingly, it’s Stowell’s hairstyle that spoils the whole impression of the character’s younger version.

[Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the NCIS Season 21 episode “Reef Madness.”]
Jessica Knight made a huge decision in the NCIS Season 21 finale, and it’s one that likely has fans wondering if cast member Katrina Law is leaving the CBS show for good.
In “Reef Madness,” NCIS head Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) approached Knight with a surprising offer. He wanted her as the head of the new NCIS React team at Camp Pendleton. But taking the job would likely mean moving to the West Coast and leaving behind the rest of the NCIS team, including her boyfriend Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen).

NCIS is not afraid to lose characters, whether by them leaving or even dying. There is not a single main character left from the pilot, and only Sean Murray remains as Timothy McGee from the first season (his first appearance was on the seventh episode of Season 1). Now, another major character might be leaving.
Here is a look at what changes the NCIS season finale might bring to the show.
Could Katrina Law Leave NCIS?
Katrina Law might be leaving NCIS after this season’s finale. The Season 21 finale (“Reef Madness”) has some hints that Knight (Law) might leave the series by taking on a new job. The show has never shied away from characters leaving the show — often in shocking manners.
Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) was a main character in the first season as she clashed with Jetrho Leroy Gibbs before joining the team and becoming a key member of his squad.

Was that for real?
Is Jessica Knight out the door as it appeared after NCIS Season 21 Episode 10?
And did the only intrateam romance in the current NCIS franchise go with her?
It's been a wacky season for TV as the networks slash and cut, then slash some more following the new writers' and actors' contracts.
And it is conceivable that Katrina Law wanted out. She joined the Hawaii Five-0 cast for what turned out to be its 10th and final season, with its cancellation a surprise to many. Maybe she wanted to get a jump this time, in case Season 22 is it for NCIS.
That's not out of the realm of possibility. After all, the show's favorite characters are still featured on CBS/Paramount+, with NCIS: Origins (young Gibbs), and the unnamed Tony and Ziva project. Why pay for the Mother Ship as well?
Also, it's not unusual to have surprise departures on NCIS finales,...

Over the course of its 21-year television run, CBS’ police procedural show NCIS has been constantly reshaping its story by adding and removing characters, something that would make the plot go in a completely different direction.
Such changes mostly did affect the storyline, but only one character from the first ever seasons gave the whole show a radically switched perspective that later on helped introduce another significant cast member.
Kate’s Death Was a True Game Changer for NCIS
Caitlin "Kate" Todd, a special agent portrayed by Sasha Alexander in seasons 1 and 2, had some special impact on her colleagues that the latter ones didn’t really become aware of until Kate was gone.
Shot in the head by a sniper after she and other agents successfully went through a warehouse that presumably served as a terrorist cell’s hide-out, Kate left the show, but still redefined it all and made...

Despite canceling Blue Bloods after 14 seasons, the cast has been lobbying for a last-minute reprieve on CBS.
Sadly, the network has confirmed that the series is no longer in contention for renewal and will end after 14 seasons in December.
While announcing the CBS fall schedule on Thursday, Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach shared that the show’s fate has been sealed.
“We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show,” Reisenbach told reporters, according to Deadline.
“We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It is important to give the show the sendoff it deserves.”
Despite reporters pointing out that the cast had been trying to get the show renewed for Blue Bloods Season 15, Reisenbach shut down any speculation of keeping the show alive.

CBS today became the first broadcast network to present its fall schedule. And, in line with CBS’ new strategy for long-term development and planning, the network announced its schedule for the entire 2024-25 season. It is contingent on IATSE making a new deal with the studios to avoid a strike. At the unveiling of the schedule, George Cheeks, President and CEO of CBS, said that they have contingency plans should a work stoppage occur but wouldn’t elaborate further. “If we need to delay, we are ready,” he said.

If you read the headline and are asking yourselves, pilots? what pilots? — you are not wrong. It’s been largely a 2024 pilot season without pilots. A grand total of maybe one of them is expected to factor into any fall decisions as the broadcast networks prepare to unveil their schedules, starting with CBS tomorrow, May 2.
Needless to say, the broadcast pilot season is no longer the industry obsession it once was this time of year, with back-to-back disruptions from the pandemic and the dual Hollywood strikes providing the proverbial final nail in the coffin of the decades-old pilot cycle. But for tradition’s sake, here are some insights into the networks’ current development plans.
There is no more stacked lineup for next season than CBS’ with three new drama series, Young Gibbs prequel NCIS: Origins; Matlock, starring Kathy Bates; and Watson, headlined by Morris Chestnut; and two new comedies, Poppa’s House,...

While NCIS was picked up for its 22nd season and NCIS: Sydney Season 2 got ordered, the Vanessa Lachey-led show did not survive.
This will be rough news for fans who have enjoyed watching the Hawaiin spin-off featuring Lachey, LL Cool J, and the rest of the cast.

After three seasons, NCIS: Hawai’i has been cancelled by CBS. While the show was on the bubble, Deadline says it’s still a little surprising as there had been talks of an “abbreviated fourth and final season,” but that would have come with a massive budget cut.

The finale of the third season, which will now be a series finale, will air on May 6th. Sources say that while it wasn’t meant to be a series finale, the episode won’t end on a major cliffhanger that will leave fans frustrated. With just three seasons under its belt, this places NCIS: Hawai’i has the shortest series in the franchise, following NCIS: New Orleans with 7 seasons and NCIS: Los Angeles with 14 seasons.

The NCIS: Origins cast added another big piece of the puzzle.
An announcement was made that the producers added someone to play Gibbs’ dad – and they made a great choice.
The new show from the NCISverse is set in 1991, telling early stories from NCIS that revolve around Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Mike Franks.
Mark Harmon played Gibbs on NCIS, but the younger version of the character will be played by someone new.
Some NCIS fans felt that Mark Harmon’s son (Sean Harmon) could do the role, especially with how well he played a younger Gibbs in flashback episodes of NCIS.
Actor Austin Stowell is now playing Gibbs, which might be hard for some NCIS fans to accept.

Paging Dr. Trowbridge! Paging Dr. Trowbridge!
It was only appropriate that Parker used the name of a fictional doctor when pretending to be a cardiac surgeon on NCIS Season 21 Episode 8.
When his back was against the wall and he had to improvise, Parker hollered out the name of Chevy Chase's Dr. Emmett Trowbridge from the classic 1985 film "Spies Like Us."
It's about time that Gary Cole had another turn in the spotlight.
Sure, fans still wait with bated breath for any mention of Gibbs.
But Cole's Alden Parker has made for a smooth transition to the post-Gibbs world since he took over the team on NCIS Season 19 Episode 6.
Parker and Gibbs are near opposites. His bullpen is more collegial and less technophobic. If you must go in a different direction, go in a different direction. That's definitely the case when it comes to team leadership.

Way back in 2003, the hit CBS series Jag introduced its audience to Jethro Gibbs and his crack team of investigators, who focus on navy-related crimes from the forensics and investigative side.
This 'back-door pilot' led the way to NCIS, which is now in its 21st season and has inspired multiple spin-offs.
There's a lot to celebrate about this success, and recently the show paid homage to its roots with a landmark 1,000th episode. However, two major snubs ruffled the feathers of some fans, and for good reason.

It was only appropriate that the 1,000th episode of the NCISverse aired on the Mother Ship.
While NCIS Season 21 Episode 7 didn't live up to all the hype (what could have?), it was still enjoyable and well-constructed.
It also skillfully drew upon NCIS's long history, going back 21 seasons.
The spotlight fell on Rocky Carroll's Director Vance, who has been too close to becoming a recurring character in recent seasons.
The storyline hearkened back to one of Vance's shining emotional moments when his wife Jackie was killed during an assassination attempt on Eli David on NCIS Season 10 Episode 11.
As expected, that event had lasting repercussions on the Vance family.
Kayla followed her father's lead and became an NCIS agent afloat.
Jared, who was closer to Jackie, had been adrift since then, never committing to anything in Leon's mind.
For his part, Jared didn't understand how Leon could stay with a...
