NCIS season 21 \u2013 which featured the sprawling franchise\u2019s 1,000th episode \u2013 recently came to a dramatic close.<\/p>\n

After risking their lives to solve three murders at sea, the gang returned to land. And though everyone was more or less safe, viewers were left wondering\u00a0what the future holds for Special Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) and Dr Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) after a job offer threw their relationship into disarray.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t look good for the pair.<\/p>\n

Fans of one of the longest-running scripted shows in TV history will be wondering if the crime franchise\u2019s flagship series will return for round 22.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

Will there be an NCIS season 22?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes<\/strong>! CBS has confirmed the long-standing series will be back.<\/p>\n

The network did cancel spin-off NCIS Hawai\u2019i<\/a> rather abruptly, but the franchise\u2019s flagship series is safe, and likely to continue beyond season 22.<\/p>\n

Despite Hawai\u2019i\u2019s cancellation, the NCIS family continues to grow, with prequel series Originals set to air soon and a European spin-off<\/a> in the works.<\/p>\n

NCIS season 22 release date speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

CBS has yet to confirm when exactly we can expect the series to return, but, based on previous NCIS release patterns, we\u2019d expect it to begin airing around September 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Should that be the case, it will continue well into spring 2025.<\/p>\n

The finale did throw a curveball at audiences when Jess accepted a job in California, with showrunner Steven D Binder remaining tight-lipped about her future in the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we set something up there,\u201d Binder told TVLine<\/a>. \u201cAnd I will point you to our track record where you just never know.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had people look like they were going away and then it turned out they weren\u2019t, and then we had people who just disappeared, like Gibbs.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the cast, we expect the following core crew to return:<\/p>\n
