Why NCIS and NCIS: Origins Took a Break, Plus What’s Next
Fans of NCIS and its latest spin-off, NCIS: Origins, noticed a break in new episodes on November 18, 2024. While the reason for the hiatus hasn’t been revealed, both shows are returning with exciting updates.
NCIS Season 22 continues on November 25, 2024, with Episode 6, titled “Knight and Day.” Following that, Episode 7, “Hardboiled,” premieres on December 2, 2024. Episode 7 teases an intense plot: “Torres receives intel from a confidential informant regarding top-secret naval information at risk of being sold.”
So far, Season 22 has delivered high-stakes cases and gripping character arcs. Episode 5 saw the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) handling a hostage situation at a hospital that spiraled into a murder investigation. The culprit? A rogue CIA agent, Conrad (Tom Schanley), whose actions evoked memories of former antagonist Trent Kort. Conrad’s efforts to cover up CIA crimes through Project Laurel posed a national security threat, but Parker (Gary Cole) and the team exposed his schemes just in time.
The upcoming Episode 6 centers on Knight being tasked with protecting his wife after a high-level defense contractor’s home is attacked. This will set the stage for even more drama as Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) pulls every string to safeguard NCIS integrity while navigating a web of high-stakes intel.
The return of both NCIS and NCIS: Origins promises more of the intense cases and dynamic teamwork fans love. Mark your calendars!
