NCIS Season 22: Could Agent Sam Hanna Replace Jessica Knight?

NCIS Season 21 ended with Jessica Knight’s future with the team in doubt, sparking speculation among fans that Agent Sam Hanna could be the perfect replacement.

In the season finale, Jessica Knight (played by Katrina Law) accepted a promotion to become the new REACT chief training officer at Camp Pendleton, taking her away from the team and her partner Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). While the couple might try long distance initially, Jessica’s role on the team will need to be filled.

Some fans believe that Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) could step in. With NCIS: Hawai’i canceled after three seasons, Hanna, a beloved NCIS veteran from NCIS: Los Angeles, might be available. His smooth transition into NCIS: Hawai’i demonstrated his adaptability within the franchise. Additionally, LL Cool J doesn’t have any upcoming projects listed on his IMDb profile, making him a viable candidate.

However, bringing in Sam Hanna would break the show’s tradition of introducing new female leads. Since NCIS began, the team has seen strong female leads like Caitlin “Kate” Todd (Sasha Alexander), Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), Ellie Bishop (Emily Wickersham), and Jessica Knight. Despite this, Sam’s presence could be justified if he isn’t the only one brought over from NCIS: Hawai’i.

NCIS Season 22 is set to return, and fans are eager to see if Agent Sam Hanna will join the team, filling the gap left by Jessica Knight.
