NCIS’ season 21 came to its end several weeks ago leaving most of its fans wonder whether it’s indeed time to call it a day for Jessica Knight’s position at the McRt and in the show as a whole, and NCIS showrunner’s recent revelations prove that there’s a solid reason for gradually accepting the character’s inevitable exit.
However, even with NCIS lovers’ biggest fear becoming true in the next installment, Jessica Knight’s storyline doesn’t seem to be just brutally abandoned as it has all chances to follow other major characters’ suit.
In one of his recent interviews that followed NCIS’ season 21 finale, the series’ showrunner Steven D. Binder revealed that, until the next season arrives and puts all the cards on the table, fans won’t be able to decipher Jessica Knight’s future path in the show.

Throughout its more-than-a-decade-long TV run, The Big Bang Theory has seen its main characters pave their way to what they’ve always dreamed of, but the show completely ruined this way for one of them.
Since its launch back in 2007, The Big Bang Theory has been capturing Penny’s numerous attempts to achieve her biggest goal of becoming a prominent actress in Hollywood, yet everything she ended up with boiled down to a couple of cheap commercials.
For years that they saw the show’s creators snubbing the character, fans have been vocal about the way she was treated all along, but it seems like not only The Big Bang Theory, but another CBS popular series didn’t want to recognise Penny’s acting skills anyway.

Throughout its long-standing television history, CBS’ police procedural giant NCIS has seen its characters come and go causing the main team’s constant renewals.
Now that the show’s season 21 ended on a big cliffhanger concerning Jessica Knight’s departure from the McRt and maybe from the entire series, fans have been keeping busy looking for worthy candidates for Knight’s position that she’s supposedly about to leave.
However, the show’s actors’ recent real-life encounter serves as a reminder that another beloved character needs to be brought back to the screen, and she has no claim for Jessica Knight’s job.
NCIS’ former actress Pauley Perrette recently took it to her Instagram account posting a picture of herself reuniting with her co-star Brian Dietzen who in the series portrays Jimmy Palmer.

The NCIS universe isn’t taking any break after the flagship show’s season 21 came to its end earlier in May as the franchise is set to come back this fall with three installments, two of which are a completely new vision of the famous story.
Aside from a spinoff that will revolve around Anthony Dinozzo and Ziva David’s career paths and relationships after both quit the original series, the franchise is also giving broader horizons to the background story of its biggest figure, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, whose departure from NCIS in season 19 left a lot of questions unanswered.
Though the upcoming show is already heavily criticized by NCIS fans months before its potential release, NCIS: Origins still appears to be a breath of fresh air for the series’ universe, yet with its own risks.

NCIS is coming back to the screens later this year with its season 22, and there might be more surprises than everyone is expecting right now. The last season’s finale left two major cliffhangers for the next installment, and fans are probably counting days until they finally get to see what happens to Jessica Knight after she accepts that big offer and whether Alden Parker’s vision will force the show to dive deeper into the character’s backstory.
However, NCIS’ next season might also highlight the return of an original character that was gone too soon by season 3, yet there are still some ways for them to make their way back to the show.
Started in 2003, NCIS featured Sasha Alexander’s Caitlin ‘Kate’ Todd as one of the Special Agents right until the season 2 finale, where she was shot dead by sniper and Mossad double-agent Ari Haswari, with Ziva...

Throughout the more than 20 years of NCIS, there have been many heartbreaking departures. Sometimes it was the characters who reached their full potential on the show and needed to move on from NCIS, and other times it was the actors who wanted to pursue other opportunities.
In the case of Maria Bello, who portrayed forensic psychologist Jacqueline Sloane, it was the actress' own decision not to renew her contract. And that decision allowed her to move on to even bigger and better things.
Why Did Maria Bello Leave NCIS?
Although the actress' time on the show was short compared to the show's 21-season run, her character Jacqueline Sloane, also known as Jack, was a fan favorite in her state and is still missed by many viewers. Fortunately, there was no bad blood behind the actress' departure. She ended her NCIS journey when her contract expired.

A fun video from the NCIS cast was filmed during a recent event for CBS Studios.
The primary cast members were asked which shows they would like NCIS to crossover with and which characters they’d switch lives with.
While everyone waits for new episodes, videos like this are a good way to pass the time.
The good news is that CBS already ordered NCIS Season 22. So, new episodes are coming.
But the long summer hiatus is only beginning, so it will be months before the new content arrives.
We could also soon learn about new folks joining the cast or how CBS will present the new prequel show this fall.

Hey, "NCIS" fans. We were able to track down some new details in regards to Agent Jessica Knight star Katrina Law and her possible exit from the show. She originally joined the NCIS crew as a recurring character back in season 18. Then, she became a season regular in season 19. Now, it's being highly speculated that she might be leaving the show after the most recent season 21, but no one is giving a clear answer to that question. However, we do have some new details about it because the folks over at TV Line did recently interview the showrunner of NCIS Steve D. Binder and Kristina Law. They asked both of them if she's exiting NCIS after this most recent season 21. They point blank asked Kristina if she's returning for the new season 22, and she told them, "Hmmm…. Better tune in for that season opener!" After that, she went on to...

NCIS star Cote de Pablo couldn’t have been more grateful to play special agent Ziva David. But she admitted that there were certain aspects to her character she would’ve liked to have tweaked slightly.

De Pablo spent a lot of time with NCIS’s Ziva David. She played the character for a consecutive eight years before taking a long hiatus from the procedural. But de Pablo wasn’t exactly like her NCIS counterpart, as there were more than a few differences between the two. Ziva’s emotions could sometimes be very suppressed in NCIS, which might’ve partially stopped the character from expressing her true feelings for Michael Weatherly’s Tony Dinozzo a bit earlier. This was a strong contrast to de Pablo, who considered herself a very open person.

BET wants some Emmys.
In a year where major streamers and legacy networks dominate the Emmy conversations, BET Media Group, which includes BET+ and BET Studios, has had a record-breaking year for its critically acclaimed content, such as Lee Daniels’ racy sitcom “The Ms. Pat Show,” the drama thriller “Average Joe” and the dark comedy “Diarra From Detroit.” All in all, the legacy broadcast media network has submitted in over 35 Primetime Emmy categories, the most in its history.
BET+ surprised many in 2022 and 2023 when it picked up back-to-back nominations for “The Ms. Pat Show” director Mary Lou Belli. A veteran in the TV business, she’s helmed notable episodes of “Sister, Sister,” “Monk” and “NCIS.” After dropping its fourth season on May 23, Belli is up for consideration once again for the premiere episode “I’m the Pappy,” alongside co-creator and showrunner Jordan E.

Over the years, NCIS has seen a lot of comings and goings, with some being respected and even celebrated by viewers, and others taking time to settle in. Even the most beloved characters today have struggled to shine through the judgment of fans back in the day, and Ziva David was one of them.
Right now, however, Cote de Pablo, who portrays Ziva, and Michael Weatherly, who portrays Tony Dinozzo, make up one of the most popular dynamics on NCIS. And learning that there was a good chance it would never happen makes fans even happier that it did.
When Did Ziva First Appear on NCIS?
Ziva David joined NCIS at the very beginning of season 3, right after her half-brother brutally murdered another agent, Caitlin Todd, portrayed by Sasha Alexander. Alexander's departure was a huge disappointment to the fanbase, so it was only natural that viewers did not warm up...

“The Roast of Tom Brady” was the No. 1 most-streamed title of the May 6-12 viewing window, according to Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings. The special aired live on Netflix on May 5, indicating that all 1.7 billion minutes of viewership on the chart happened after the stream.
“Grey’s Anatomy” was the No. 2 title with 1.1 billion minutes watched. The iconic medical drama makes the chart most weeks, but has seen an extra bump thanks to Hulu’s recent addition of a new Season 20 episode, which was the most-watched “Grey’s” episode of the week. “Bluey” landed at No. 3 with 1.1 billion minutes watched — commonplace for the popular children’s show.
At No. 4 was “Evil” with 788 million minutes watched across both Netflix and Paramount+. Seasons 1 and 2 of the supernatural drama were added to Netflix on April 30, generating interest ahead of the Paramount+ release of Season 4 on May 23.

Netflix’s live roast of NFL great Tom Brady made it into the Nielsen streaming rankings for its premiere, despite only being available for a few hours of that week. After its first full week on the streamer, it rocketed to the top of the charts.
The Roast of Tom Brady gathered 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the week of May 6-12, leading all streaming titles by a wide margin (the second-place finisher, Grey’s Anatomy, had 1.11 billion minutes of watch time for the week). The roast also had by far the biggest weekly viewing tally ever for a Netflix special; the previous high was 798 million minutes for Chris Rock’s stand-up special Selective Outrage in March 2023.
The 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the roast in the United States translates to about 27.87 million hours, or about two thirds of Netflix’s reported worldwide total (42.2 million hours) for the special that week.

Over the years, NCIS has thrived not only on the brilliant plots and unexpected twists in its cases, but also on the lovable and intriguing characters that viewers have fallen in love with. While some continue their journey on the main series, others move on to their own spin-offs.
While it's impossible to underestimate the importance of Special Agent Gibbs or Tony and Ziva, there are some characters that don't get nearly enough attention. Jimmy Palmer, the chief medical examiner for the NCIS team, who has been one of the show's most consistent characters, is a perfect example.
Is Jimmy Palmer Still on NCIS?
Jimmy Palmer, portrayed by Brian Dietzen, has been a prominent character on NCIS since the season 1 finale. Though he didn't receive his starring status until the show's 10th season, he has been one of the show's most consistently written characters who continues to delight viewers to this day.

If there had never been “The Tracey Ullman Show,” there likely would never have been “The Simpsons.” Too, without “Happy Days,” then “Laverne and Shirley” and “Mork and Mindy” would never have seen the light of primetime. Television series spinoffs have been a thing going back to some the earliest days of the medium itself, when “The Honeymooners” premiered in 1955 after beginning life as a series of sketches on “The Jackie Gleason Show” a few years earlier. Thus was born the concept of introducing a character or characters on a show that prove so popular it’s decided they deserve their own series.

CBS’ brand new action drama show Tracker was quick to conquer the network viewers’ hearts as the series’ first ever season reached a major milestone, dethroning CBS’ long-running NCIS on the list of the most-watched shows this season.
Having so far left fans with only one season and a major cliffhanger that will find its explanation in the next installment, Tracker surely brought some refreshment to the network’s schedule, and the mid-season plot twist does seem to be something that eventually guaranteed the show’s immense success.
Launched back in February, Tracker followed private investigator Colter Shaw and his cross-country trips during which he helped uncover citizens’ mystery until one of his own hasn’t suddenly come along.
As the first season proceeded to dive deeper into Colter’s personality rather than his work routine that the viewers had already had enough of, the whole storyline got even more...

It’s been weeks since CBS dropped the shocking news announcing that NCIS: Hawai’i, arguably one of the whole franchise’s best rated shows, would have no more new seasons after the third one wrapped it all up.
From that moment on, the ditched series has become a constant object of everyone’s talk in the social media, with some of the most devoted fans taking it further and starting a campaign with a petition pleading the network to bring NCIS: Hawai’i back to the screen.
Now that CBS has repeatedly confirmed (mostly by its disregard for fans’ request) that the show isn’t coming back, the network’s position seems to have gotten to a worse point after its official annual ratings have gone out to the public.
According to the recent reports published by TV Line, NCIS: Hawai’i has become the most-watched show that was canceled with no final season planned.

NCIS season 21 officially wrapped it all up around a month ago, leaving fans with two big mysteries that the show’s next installment is supposed to handle soon. The latest season proved that Jessica Knight’s big promotion isn’t only about her biggest dream coming true, but also about her personal struggles should she leave the McRt, while Alden Parker’s vision after he gets injured during a mission seemingly unveiled some dark part of his backstory.

Started back in 2003, the NCIS universe keeps growing as the franchise is set to get two more spinoffs that will arrive around the same time as the original show’s season 22, and one of those upcoming series already appears to be a significant milestone for the entire franchise.
The show titled NCIS: Tony & Ziva will dive deeper into the relationship of Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David, portrayed by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo respectively, who quit the flagship series a while ago. Even ahead of the show’s premiere, the characters’ return seems to be something that the long-running franchise has surely needed all this time.
Set to be released later this year, NCIS: Tony & Ziva will find its characters in Europe after both of them decided to start their career paths afresh and will presumably follow the events after an attack on Tony’s security firm,...

After CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach last month permanently closed the door to Blue Bloods continuing beyond its upcoming final 8 episodes this fall, one of Paramount Global’s Office of the CEO members today opened the door to the franchise potentially carrying on.
During Paramount Global’s shareholder meeting this morning, Brian Robbins noted that Paramount is home of 14 brands across film and TV that have generated at least $1B in revenue, including NCIS, South Park, Yellowstone, SpongeBob SquarePants, Paw Patrol and Star Trek.
“We are building tomorrow’s billion dollar brands right now” he added. “In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions and Blue Bloods, and CBS’ hit Fire Country shows huge promise.”
Spinoffs for Dexter, Billions, Fire Country as well as NCIS have been announced; there has been no official word on a Blue Bloods offshoot yet.

Launched back in 2003, the NCIS franchise isn’t losing its ground anytime soon as it keeps expanding the original show’s universe with two more exciting spinoffs to come soon. The franchise is currently working on NCIS: Origins, starring Austin Stowell as young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and NCIS: Tony & Ziva with the latter following Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David’s career paths and personal relationships after they both quit the flagship series.
Now that the NCIS universe is getting bigger by significantly enlarging its characters’ background stories, one of the show’s creators has revealed his personal thoughts on potential crossovers in the franchise, and there’s one seemingly big problem that doesn’t seem to be that much of a big deal to him.

The NCIS universe is getting a big expansion quite soon as the franchise is set to welcome two more spinoffs into the family with one of them putting its focus on Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ earlier years as a Special Agent. The upcoming series hasn’t received its release date yet, but what we definitely know so far is that Mark Harmon’s role is now officially passed to Austin Stowell.
Though NCIS’ lovers may never have heard the actor’s name before, his filmography is surely worth checking out, as it features some quite famous flicks, and you probably never knew Stowell was in there too.

Damien Chazelle’s breakout directorial work that back in 2015 earned numerous accolades and prestigious awards got Austin Stowell for portraying Ryan Connolly, a drummer in the band supervised by Shaffer Conservatory’s relentless jazz instructor, Terence Fletcher.

With so many very popular procedural TV shows, it seems like a very easy genre to tap into and achieve instant success. Especially if the main character is already known and loved by the audience. Especially if the show airs in prime time on a popular network. And yet, it may not be enough.
There are too many factors that go into making the show successful, and if it's not, it's usually scrapped. The case of CBS' Bull shows just how far a procedural can go by relying on just one actor.
Is Bull Worth Watching?
Bull was a CBS legal procedural drama starring Michael Weatherly, the star of the NCIS franchise, as Dr. Jason Bull, a psychologist who once dreamed of becoming a lawyer but failed the licensing exam twice and had to settle for working with lawyers to solve the toughest cases.

Even though NCIS has been at the top of its franchise this year, adding one of the most anticipated and least expected spinoffs to the mix, fans are already clamoring for more news. As Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly prepare to begin work on NCIS: Tony & Ziva this summer, fans are asking the creators more and more tricky questions.
Even though viewers only know the vague premise of the Tiva-centered spinoff, they're already raising their hopes for how it will coexist with other branches of the show. One thing that fans are particularly curious about is whether they can expect Tony & Ziva to eventually crossover with the original NCIS series.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva Crossovers
Even though it's not too surprising that NCIS fans are rooting for a crossover, given that the franchise has already had quite a few, the chances of it happening with the Tony & Ziva spinoff are very slim.

NCIS is officially over its season 21 and is heading to the next installment which is set to be released later this year, and there seems to be so many questions that it needs to find answers for.
The latest season ended on two major cliffhangers, suggesting that Jessica Knight will inevitably leave the McRt for a bigger role on the other side of the country, while Alden Parker’s backstory will receive an update after his hallucination on the boat.
Though these are the most popular things for fans to keep speculating regarding the upcoming season, two other characters also need a bigger development, and they actually deserve it more than anyone else.
Ever since NCIS’ first season was launched back in 2003, the CBS police procedural giant has featured Timothy McGee, portrayed by Sean Murray, and Jimmy Palmer, played by Brian Dietzen. Both don’t appear to be the characters...

NCIS star Michael Weatherly left the long-running procedural after 13 years on the show. But Weatherly once joked that the show might’ve benefited from an even earlier departure.

Weatherly agonized a bit over leaving NCIS. He’d built up a passionate fanbase in his 13 years on the hit show, and had a close professional bond with a few of his co-workers. Speaking with Extra, Weatherly confided that he had an epiphany sometime before his final season on the show. Weatherly jotted down ideas about his character Tony Dinozzo, and realized through his brainstorming that the special agent might’ve run its course.
“I wrote down a long series of ideas and feelings and everything. And I realized, ‘Oh, Dinozzo has to go.’ Like, it’s time for him to graduate,” Weatherly said.

It’s been a couple of months since NCIS: Hawai’i was abruptly canceled for no solid reason, but all the talks about the unfortunate series have never quietened down ever since.
Being a CBS fan-favorite show that never had a single problem with its ratings, NCIS: Hawai’i was not only unfairly scrapped by the network, but also deprived of a good ending and instead got nothing but a major cliffhanger, leaving fans forever wonder what it would bring to the next never-happening season.
While some of the most devoted fans still keep trying to bring their beloved show back to the screen by calling CBS out on social media and starting a whole campaign with a petition to sign, NCIS: Hawai’i is likely to end up just like this with low chances to ever be revived, and the show’s fate seems even more heartbreaking than the one of another NCIS ditched spinoff.

Erich Anderson, who was sometimes also credited as E. Erich Anderson, racked up over 100 credits during a screen acting career that stretched from 1983 into the 2020s, but he may be best known for playing the role of Rob in the 1984 slasher classic Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. A character out for revenge, Rob looked like he had a shot at being able to take down hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees for good… but when Rob finally caught up with Jason, things did not go well for him at all. Among Friday the 13th fans, Rob has become a favorite due to the fact that he seems so cool and capable at first, but then whiffs his shot at vengeance in a major way. Sadly, the actor who brought Rob to the screen is no longer with us. Erich Anderson’s wife Saxon Trainor has confirmed through social media that he...

The actor was 67 years old.
Michael O’Malley wrote on Instagram, “My brother in law Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer.

“He was a smart and funny guy, a fantastic cook; he wrote three great novels which you can find on Amazon,” O’Malley continues. “I’ll miss him but his ordeal is over.”

Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ story may be getting a big update soon as NCIS keeps expanding its universe with yet another spinoff, but the character has been out of the original show for quite some time already.
Gibbs said a definite goodbye to his team back in season 19 when he decided it was time for a long-awaited retirement in Alaska while his position was eventually taken over by former FBI agent Alden Parker.
Though the latter has been there for several seasons in a row with no real criticism from the show’s lovers, some fans still seem to question Gibbs’ decision to pass on his torch to Parker while there was another excellent candidate for such a role.

When the show goes for as long as NCIS does, it’s only a matter of time when the cast members are going to change. While there are some actors willing to continue exploring the same character and the same environment throughout the years, others aren’t so sure on the matter and prefer to pursue other opportunities.
Emily Wickersham who portrayed Eleanor Bishop for a little over 170 episodes starting with season 11 and leaving after season 18, wasn’t the first person to leave the show, but her exit was the most mysterious and vague.

Jessica Knight’s future in NCIS after the season 21 ending is now the biggest mystery for the show’s fans as the latest installment proved that the character was down for a big job opportunity outside of the McRt.
Despite making it clear that Jessica will no longer stay with her team once her new job duties take her across the country, her departure hasn’t yet been confirmed, as well as Jessica’s possible return as a guest star in some future episodes.
However obscure it all is for Jessica Knight’s further storyline, there seems to be enough challenges for her position at the McRt. The long list of candidates who may take over Knight’s duties doesn’t really stop at the original show’s characters, but also considers some of those who have been out of sight for quite some time now.

The long list of candidates who may take over Knight’s duties doesn’t really stop at the original show’s characters, but also considers some of those who have been out of sight for quite some time now.
Though NCIS initially does...

When a beloved show is renewed for yet another season it’s always good news for fans. And if the show has been on air for more than 20 years, it’s an especially perfect gift for the audience that has spent hundreds of hours watching the series.
So when NCIS fans realized the show is going to get another season, they felt relieved – but then immediately started discussing what the new 22nd season can bring to the table. And frankly, there were many brilliant ideas, so let’s see a few of them.
A lot of comments were about whatever fate awaits Jess. It’s only natural, considering how the previous season ended for her.
“Jess takes the React job, but she eventually makes her way back to the team. It seems the team was mostly happy for her to take the job and stood behind her, so I doubt there’s much tension there.

For a huge number of viewers, police procedural shows have been a frequent choice for decades of their appearance on TV, but CBS’ long-running and unbeatable crime drama series NCIS is a different thing.
With all the variety of flicks and shows that follow guardians of common citizens’ peace catching those who violate it, NCIS has always been the one that managed to glue millions of viewers to their screens, waiting for a new season to reveal what’s going to happen next.
Despite all the merits that the more-than-twenty-years-old show can boast of compared to its younger TV peers, there still seems to be a major flaw in the entire NCIS storyline, and, surprisingly, it’s pointed out by fans who claim to have nothing to do with the police-related stuff at all.

Right now, it feels like NCIS and a couple of its spin-offs are on everyone's mind. The show, which passed the two-decade milestone, not only hasn't tired its viewers out, it's found two new offshoots to expand its universe and continue its battle with NBC's Law & Order for the longest-running procedural.
Of course, viewers' attention is now divided between NCIS: Origins, which will tell the origin story of Agent Gibbs, previously played by Mark Harmon, and NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which will follow the lives of two former agents after they escape to Europe.
However, the most loyal fans still remember how the franchise lost what could have been its best spin-off 11 years ago.
Why Was NCIS: Red Canceled?
Originally, NCIS: Red was not supposed to be a spin-off of the original NCIS series, but of NCIS: Los Angeles. Since NCIS has always been keen on creating more location-based...

When a show gets too popular, it's no wonder spin-offs start popping up. And sometimes, they not only focus on specific characters and their own universes, but expand to become a whole new show set in another state, country, or even continent.
The perfect example to support this argument is, of course, NCIS. The series premiered in 2003 and has since become a major franchise that revolves around many different teams based in different locations.
The original series tells the story of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service's Major Case Response Team as they get to the bottom of criminal cases involving Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Since its premiere, the show became a hit, turning many viewers into obsessed fans, who later also became the spinoff’s audience.
