### Is Katrina Law Leaving NCIS? Showrunner Weighs In
The NCIS Season 21 finale left fans of Special Agent Jessica Knight in suspense. Jessica is offered a new position outside the team, which means she might leave her team and her boyfriend, Jimmy Palmer. So, is Katrina Law leaving NCIS?
Here’s what the showrunner had to say about the situation.
**Is Katrina Law Leaving NCIS?**
NCIS has proven over its 21 seasons that no one is safe. Early on, a main character was killed off suddenly, teaching fans that anyone could leave the show at any time. Characters like DeNozzo, Ziva, and even Gibbs have exited the series over the years. Katrina Law, who hasn’t been on the show as long, has quickly become a fan favorite, especially as Jimmy Palmer’s new love interest. Her departure would break Jimmy’s heart and upset many fans.
In the finale, Jessica is offered the role of Chief REACT Training Officer, a dream job she applied for years ago. Accepting this position would take her away from the team and Jimmy.

Showrunner Steven D. Binder emphasized that anything can happen on NCIS. He mentioned that characters might appear to be leaving, only to stay, or leave suddenly without warning, like Gibbs. Binder encouraged viewers to tune in to Season 22 to see what happens with Katrina Law.
“We’ve had people look like they were going away and then it turned out they weren’t, and then we had people who just disappeared, like Gibbs,” Binder said. “So I will say this: We do aim to please, and we think the audience will be satisfied with where they see this go.”
However, he also hinted at uncertainty. “Sometimes that satisfaction is bittersweet, and sometimes it’s just pure joy. You’ll have to wait to find out which one it’s going to be.” Will Jessica leave Jimmy and the show, or will she stay?
