After 22 seasons, NCIS is bidding farewell to its last remaining original cast member, marking the end of an era for the long-running series. Sean Murray, who has portrayed Special Agent Timothy McGee since the show’s very beginning, is stepping away, leaving fans both nostalgic and emotional.

McGee’s character evolved from a shy tech expert into a seasoned field agent and team anchor. His loyalty, heart, and quiet strength made him a fan favorite and one of the most relatable characters in the NCIS universe. His departure isn’t just the loss of a beloved agent—it’s the final thread connecting the current team to the show’s origins.

The exit will be handled with the respect and depth McGee deserves. Rather than a sudden goodbye, the season builds up to his decision, exploring his inner conflicts and dreams beyond the badge. Rumors suggest a heartfelt final episode that honors both the character and the actor’s legacy.

While NCIS continues with fresh faces and new stories, the departure of its last original star is a bittersweet reminder of how far the series has come—and how much it’s meant to its devoted viewers over the past two decades.
