NCIS, and a premiere date has finally been announced. CBS revealed premiere dates for its fall 2024 lineup, and the long-running procedural is kicking off premiere week on Monday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m. ET. Due to NCIS: Origins, NCIS will be premiering an hour early. The series will be going to its usual time slot of 9 p.m. ET the following week, followed by Origins at 10 p.m. ET.
Things will definitely be interesting when NCIS returns. The Season 21 finale saw Katrina Law’s Jessica Knight accept a position as a chief REACT training officer at Camp Pendleton. As of now, it hasn’t been confirmed that Law is leaving, and it’s possible that there will be some time jump at the beginning of Season 22 where Knight is back, and it was only temporary. It wasn’t so surprising that she took the job, however, since it served as a nice closure to her introduction in Season 18 when her REACT team was killed.

There aren’t too many details surrounding the plot for Season 22, but it’s likely the series will touch on Knight’s potential departure from the team. It’s also possible that Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo could return to set up NCIS: Tony & Ziva, but nothing is set in stone. It wouldn’t be surprising if that happened, but fans will just have to wait and see if Tiva makes a grand return ahead of their own series.
As previously noted, NCIS Season 22 will be followed by the highly-anticipated new prequel, , which follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the early ’90s at Camp Pendleton. Austin Stowell will take over for Mark Harmon as Gibbs, alongside Mariel Molino, Kyle Schmid, Tyle Abercrumbie, and Diany Rodriguez. Daniel Bellomy, Caleb Martin Foote, Robert Taylor, Patrick Fischler, and Julian Black Antelope are set to recur with Lori Petty and Bobby Moynihan.
Don’t miss the Season 22 premiere of NCIS on Monday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. ET. The series will go to its normal 9 p.m. ET slot the following Monday.
