Sean Murray is not leaving NCIS, but questions about his future have surfaced due to recent story developments and the show’s longevity. As McGee continues evolving into a senior leadership role, fans have wondered if the character is being slowly written out. However, there has been no official announcement of his departure, and he remains a central figure heading into Season 23.
In interviews, Murray has made it clear that he’s still enjoying the work and is proud of the show’s continued efforts to keep things fresh. He’s stated that his involvement hinges on the strength of the writing, suggesting he’ll stick around as long as the character stays compelling and the show remains creatively engaging.
Season 22 hinted at a possible new chapter for McGee, potentially moving him into a more administrative role, but this appears to be a development in his arc rather than an exit strategy. While the door is always open for change in a series this long-running, there are no current signs that McGee is on his way out.
For now, fans can expect to see more of Timothy McGee as NCIS heads into its next season, with Sean Murray still firmly in place as one of the show’s most enduring characters.
