In 2003, the CBS military legal drama JAG featured two episodes that served as a backdoor pilot for a spin-off series. Fast forward 20 years, and NCIS has become one of the most popular scripted dramas globally, with fans eagerly awaiting news about NCIS season 21. NCIS is a crime procedural series with a unique twist, focusing on criminal investigations related to the military. Since its inception, it has spawned three successful spin-off series, with one additional international spin-off, NCIS: Sydney, set to premiere in 2023.
Throughout its two decades of episodes, NCIS has witnessed various character departures. However, for NCIS season 21, much of the main cast from the previous two seasons is expected to remain. The upcoming season is poised to delve deeper into the history and relationships of these characters, some of whom have joined the NCIS family more recently. While there may be a slight delay in the release of NCIS season 21, it has only heightened the anticipation among fans eager to discover what new developments await these beloved characters.
