The show’s renewal follows strong ratings and continued success across multiple spin-offs, including NCIS: Hawai’i and the newly announced NCIS: Origins, which will explore the early career of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The franchise’s expansion has helped maintain interest, with longtime viewers staying engaged and new audiences discovering the series. CBS executives have praised the show’s consistent performance, making the decision to extend its run an easy one.
While the main cast for the future seasons remains uncertain, key stars such as Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, and Katrina Law are expected to continue their roles. However, with the show’s history of major cast changes, surprises could be in store. Fans will have to wait for official announcements regarding contracts and any potential new additions to the team.
With NCIS now confirmed to continue beyond season 22, speculation will grow about how long the series can keep going. As long as the ratings remain strong and the stories stay compelling, it seems CBS has no plans to say goodbye to the beloved crime procedural anytime soon.
