Alden Parker\u2019s team of special agents isn\u2019t going anywhere as NCIS has officially been renewed for another season!<\/p>\n

Since premiering in 2003, the police procedural following a group of agents working for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service has become a household, record-breaking staple. It\u2019s not only one of the longest-running scripted TV shows in history, but it has also spawned six spinoffs: NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Hawai\u2019i, NCIS: Sydney, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Tony & Ziva.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Star Rocky Carroll \u2014 who plays NCIS Director Leon Vance in the series \u2014 told PEOPLE that the cast has hit so many milestones it almost didn\u2019t register when they filmed their 1000th episode in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like, \u2018Okay, we got an episode to finish,\u2019 \u201d the actor said. \u201cThat\u2019s always been our blue-collar approach to doing the episodes. We know how rare the air that we\u2019re in right now \u2026 But we don\u2019t spend a lot of time relishing it or celebrating in the end zone because we got a work day to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet the Real-Life Partners of the NCIS Cast (Including the Couple Who Have Been Married for Nearly 40 Years!)
\nConsidering the success NCIS has cultivated over its two decades of airtime and the season 22 finale cliffhanger on May 5, fans weren\u2019t surprised that CBS had renewed the drama for its 23rd season in February 2025, per Variety.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything to know about season 23 of NCIS and what the cast has said about the show\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

How did season 22 of NCIS leave off?<\/h3>\n

Season 22 introduced fans to one of NCIS\u2019 most diabolical villains yet, Carla Marino (Rebecca De Mornay).<\/p>\n

After she agreed to make a deal with NCIS Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker (Gary Cole) and help him find the leader of the Nexus cartel, Marino flipped and took him hostage, blaming the agent for the death of her son.<\/p>\n

But she doesn\u2019t kill Agent Parker and instead leaves him on the side of the road, where he calls his team to warn them of her real plot to take out the heads of four prominent crime families. Though they\u2019re able to diffuse the bomb she set, he returns home to find his father, Roman Parker (Francis X. McCarthy), dead.<\/p>\n

Though not explicit, a lipstick stain on a nearby wine glass indicates that Marino may be responsible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Will there be a season 23 of NCIS?<\/h3>\n

Star Wilmer Valderrama \u2014 who has played special agent Nick Torres since 2016 \u2014 said that the season 22 finale\u2019s shocking death would push the team to \u201cgo rogue\u201d in future episodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest idea was to say, \u2018How do we disrupt the peace of season 22 and set up the tone for season 23?\u2019 \u201d the That \u201870s Show alum said on CBS Mornings. \u201cAnd this episode does that better than we\u2019ve done in many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which cast members are returning for NCIS season 23?<\/h3>\n

Though CBS hasn\u2019t confirmed the show\u2019s returning stars, the main cast will likely reprise their roles for season 23. In addition to Valderrama, NCIS star Sean Murray, who plays Special Agent Timothy McGee, spoke about the show\u2019s future. He told Town & Country in May 2025 that he would only leave the series if they stopped telling good stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of us that we are always trying to make it better and make good episodes,\u201d said the actor, who is the show\u2019s longest-running cast member. \u201cI\u2019m not just saying that\u2014because if we weren\u2019t doing that, I\u2019d be bored. I wouldn\u2019t want to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Dietzen, who plays Dr. Jimmy Palmer, confirmed on Instagram that he would be returning for season 23, and tagged Cole, Valderrama and Carroll in the post. Katrina Law, who plays Special Agent Jessica Knight, and Diona Reasonover, who plays Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines, were also tagged in the announcement.<\/p>\n

When will season 23 of NCIS be released?<\/h3>\n

CBS has yet to announce a release date for season 23 of NCIS.<\/p>\n

If it follows the typical release schedule, though, season 23 will premiere in the fall of 2025.<\/p>\n

Where can I watch NCIS?<\/h3>\n

All 22 seasons of NCIS are available to stream on Paramount+, and new episodes premiere Monday nights on CBS.<\/p>\n
