Summary

Before CBS can even do it, an excitingNCISproject brings together Leroy Jethro Gibbs' best team for the first time in a decade. Being on the air for two decades, cast reshuffles are not new to the police procedural. Over the years it has lost some major players, withNCISseason 21 marking the first time that it doesn’t have any original charactersleft as series regulars. While Sean Murray’s Tim McGee was introduced in the very first season, he wasn’t part of the show’s inaugural team, since he debuted in the middle of the year.

Impressively, however, the show weathered every single exit that it has experienced — even its biggest one when Mark Harmon decided to leave as Gibbs inNCISseason 19. The transition to Gary Cole’s Alden Parker being the new Major Case Response Team (MCRT) was unusually smooth, all things considered. Still, while all versions of the squad have been effective in their job, viewers naturally have their favorites. Season 21 secretly revealedNCIS' best roster, and before the main series gets to assemble them, a new project tied to the show is reuniting Gibbs' outstanding team.

The trailer forOff Duty: An NCIS Rewatch,only reveals snippets of the upcoming episodes, butthe main hope is that Harmon will make an appearance. Perhaps they’re saving him for the last episode, but it would be great to see the veteran actor in the podcast, especially since he had been on the show the longest besides McCallum.

Will Tony And Ziva Appear In The Main Show Before Their NCIS Spinoff?

NCIS Can Do Another Spinoff Backdoor Pilot.

Considering their history,NCIS: Tony And Zivahas a long wishlistof loyal fans. Not much has been revealed about the project thus far, other than it will stream on Paramount+ and will follow the pair as they go on the run across Europe with their daughter, Tali. Before that, however, seeing both of them back in Navy Yard’s MCRT office will be a great way to launch the offshoot, especially since it willreunite Tony and Ziva officially with McGee. TheNCISfranchise loves backdoor pilots anyway, and this would be the perfect opportunity to do that.

NCISseason 22 will premiere in the fall as part of CBS' 2024-2025 lineup.Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatchstarts streaming on Spotify on June 4.
