NCIS Season 23: Renewal Confirmed? Release Date, Cast & Plot Details

Ncis Season 23: Will Our Favorite Agents Return for Another Round?

NCIS: A Legacy Over Two Decades in the Making!

NCIS is a legend! Over 20 seasons and counting; this is a bonafide television titan! This beloved crime procedural, a spin-off of JAG (premiering way back in 2003), has brought us those amazing special agents from the U.S. Navy’s Naval Criminal Investigative Service, who always seem to tackle the military's most baffling and exciting crimes, week after week. Mark Harmon as Jethro Gibbs anchored the show initially, building that recognizable identity which continues to this day and shows a great ability to continuously reimagine the show; continuously expanding its main cast without compromising on that long-established charm and appeal that its loyal fanbase is well-aware of.

NCIS itself spawned a whole franchise–with wildly varying success for the newer spinoffs; these changes involve multiple shows arriving, followed by several surprising cancellations–yet, amidst all that, NCIS keeps rolling. Those early 2020s showed massive franchise upheaval and the attempt to build on those successes through newer versions, such as the recent NCIS: Origins project. It remains successful; anchored by this particular, main show, with others planned! And while CBS hasn't announced season 23, a renewal feels likely!

NCIS Season 23: Confirmed? (Spoiler Alert: Not Yet!)

Even though NCIS remains immensely popular, CBS hasn't officially greenlit season 23. Don't panic! It's still relatively new—giving the network plenty of reasons to wait and carefully consider its future course and direction; assessing existing viewership levels, production budgets, potential for further spinoffs and ultimately those key things that would only impact the franchise itself. But those franchise expansions often led to shows getting canceled unexpectedly. Yet NCIS has remained super consistent. Plus, this flagship show remains massively important in anchoring all its upcoming spinoffs!

A cancellation wouldn't be random and quiet either. 22 seasons (and over 1000 episodes in that total franchise)? That's serious staying power! CBS wouldn’t just quietly kill NCIS, it's certainly worthy of some kind of public notice and grand final sending off! Expect to see much media coverage for it.

Lots of changes over 22 seasons! The season 23 cast, if renewed, remains likely to feature most returning cast members, and any details not currently available wouldn't matter all that much without fully knowing whether this series would continue, it’s entirely dependent on the show's success at that point in time! Since nothing concrete exists on this new potential future season; there is immense room for future decisions which would change various production details: This also implies an opportunity for various story arc ideas!

Expect Gary Cole as SSA Alden Parker, alongside Sean Murray as SSA Timothy McGee, and maybe Katrina Law (as Jessica Knight), and others including Wilmer Valderrama, Brian Dietzen, Diona Reasonover, and Rocky Carroll, unless future information provides unexpected reasons for a shakeup within those leading cast members.

Predicting NCIS plots is always tricky. Each episode focuses on that classic standalone case structure; and several stories extend over seasons, these stories develop those longer story arcs. Nothing concrete is truly known, and most information isn’t confirmed before season 22 actually wraps. Expect more crime-solving goodness—the usual NCIS formula—plus continuing arcs. And we might also want to look into Jessica Knight’s ongoing storylines.

She might even leave. But she’s unhappy; longing for that previous team—which will add more plot potential to drive the next few story episodes!
