NCIS has just dropped a new clip teasing Nick Torres’ shocking arrest for murder in a sneak peek of Season 21.
The clip, shared on Instagram, shows Wilmer Valderrama’s Torres being led away in handcuffs, while Gary Cole’s Alden Parker tries to unravel the situation. At the end of the clip, Parker informs the team that Torres has been arrested on murder charges.
The caption reads, “You think you know someone and then… Here’s a sneak peek of NCIS Season 21.” This has sparked fan speculation about the future of Valderrama’s character, though there’s no official word of his departure.
One worried fan commented, “Parker better help him out… I hope it’s not the end for him because @wilmervalderrama is one of my favorite actors.”
In addition, Season 21 will feature a tribute episode to the late David McCallum, who played Dr. Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard. Co-showrunners David North and Steven D. Binder stated that the episode will honor McCallum, with the team reflecting on Ducky’s life and him solving one final crime, even after his passing.
NCIS airs on CBS in the US, and Seasons 1-20 are available on Disney+ in the UK.
