NCIS Star Katrina Law Sparks Speculation About Her Return in Season 22 After Social Media Post
NCIS star Katrina Law has fans buzzing with speculation about her future on the show, thanks to a recent post she shared on social media. The actress, who is widely recognized for her role as Special Agent Jessica Knight, typically sports dark hair to match her character’s look. However, earlier this month, she surprised her followers with stunning photos showcasing a new blonde hairstyle, leading some to question whether this transformation signals a departure from the CBS drama.
With filming for Season 22 currently underway, Katrina’s drastic change in appearance has fueled concerns among fans about whether she will reprise her role in the upcoming episodes. The social media post, which features the 38-year-old exploring what appears to be California’s Redwood National Park, attracted comments from fans speculating about her absence from the new season. One fan commented, “Apparently NCIS Season 22 is already in production – I take it you’re not part of it due to your present hair color and location?” Another fan expressed disappointment, writing, “I’m also sorry you’re not on NCIS anymore, Knight was a great character.” Others simply asked if she would be returning, with one fan inquiring, “Are you coming back to NCIS?”
The uncertainty surrounding Katrina’s role on the show stems from the Season 21 finale, where her character, Jessica Knight, accepted a new position as the Chief REACT Training Officer at Camp Pendleton. This career move would require her to leave the NCIS team, leaving fans to wonder if this storyline marks the end of her time on the show.
In an interview with TV Line, NCIS showrunner Steven D. Binder addressed the ambiguity of Katrina’s character’s future, hinting that anything is possible. “Well, we set something up there,” he said, referring to Knight’s storyline. “And I will point you to our track record where you just never know. 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. So I will say this: We do aim to please, and we think the audience will be satisfied with where they see this go.”
Adding to the speculation about her future on NCIS, Katrina Law recently confirmed her next major film role in the upcoming thriller Werewolves, where she will star alongside Frank Grillo, known for his role in Captain America. In a post on Instagram, Katrina excitedly shared the news with her followers, writing, “Look at @frankgrillo1 looking like a snack…literally. This one is gonna be fun!!!!!”
The supernatural thriller, Werewolves, is set after a supermoon event that triggers a latent gene in every human, turning those exposed to the moonlight into werewolves for one night. The film’s synopsis reveals that chaos ensued during this event, resulting in the deaths of nearly a billion people. Now, a year later, the Supermoon is set to return, promising more intense drama.
With her involvement in this high-profile film and her new blonde look, Katrina Law’s future on NCIS remains uncertain, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any updates on whether she will return to the show in Season 22.
