NCIS Updates Theme Song for Season 22 with Special Nod to an Original Character
As NCIS gears up for its 22nd season, fans can look forward to more than just thrilling new episodes. The show is introducing an updated version of its iconic theme song, and it comes with a heartfelt tribute to one of the series’ beloved original characters.
The new theme song, which will debut in Season 22, features a fresh arrangement that pays homage to the show’s roots while injecting a modern twist. What makes this update even more special is the hidden Easter egg embedded in the music—a touching nod to David McCallum’s character, Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard.
The update to the theme song incorporates subtle musical elements that echo McCallum’s memorable jazz track, “The Edge,” which has become an integral part of the NCIS legacy. This homage not only celebrates Ducky’s lasting impact on the series but also highlights the show’s commitment to honoring its history.
The revised theme song is more than just a musical refresh; it’s a tribute to the characters and moments that have defined NCIS over the years. As the new season unfolds, fans can expect to hear this updated theme setting the stage for the action-packed episodes to come, all while paying respect to the show’s enduring legacy.
