After departing ‘NCIS’ in 2016, Michael Weatherly assumed the role of Jason Bull in the TV series ‘Bull,’ which had a successful run for six seasons until 2022. His decision to leave ‘NCIS’ was driven by a desire for new challenges and a readiness for change. However, Weatherly faced a sexual harassment scandal during his time on ‘Bull,’ ultimately resulting in the show’s discontinuation.
Presently, there are reports of Weatherly collaborating on music with Casey Hooper. Speculations about a potential return to ‘NCIS’ alongside co-stars Cote de Pablo and Robert Wagner have surfaced, although negotiations appear to be challenging. The uncertainty of his return lingers, but both fans and cast members would likely welcome his comeback should it materialize.
