“NCIS Showrunner Drops Bombshell Hint About Jessica Knight’s Fate”
In a recent interview, NCIS co-showrunner Steven D. Binder may have confirmed significant changes for Special Agent Jessica Knight, portrayed by Katrina Law, in the upcoming season 21 finale.
Jess has been a crucial member of the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) since season 18, officially joining the NCIS cast in season 19. However, hints in the season 21 storyline indicate that Knight may be bidding farewell to her current team.
The exit arc for Jess’ character began in season 21, episode 5, “The Plan,” with the unexpected arrival of Jess’ father, former NCIS Special Agent in Charge Feng Zhao (played by Russell Wong). Zhao proposed that Jess succeed him upon his retirement, presenting her with significant career opportunities.
In the season finale, Jess made a pivotal decision to accept the position of Chief REACT Training Officer, marking one of her standout moments in NCIS season 21. While her departure from the show has yet to be confirmed, Binder’s recent comments suggest that Knight’s exit may indeed be imminent.
Fans are eager to see how Jess’ storyline unfolds and what lies ahead for her character in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on Jessica Knight’s NCIS journey.
