Fans of NCIS’s beloved will-they-won’t-they duo, Jessica Knight and Jimmy Palmer, just got a major reason to hope! Stars Katrina Law and Brian Dietzen have been teasing something brewing between their characters in recent interviews, sending shippers into a frenzy. Law hinted at “unfinished emotional business,” while Dietzen coyly said, “Never say never when it comes to love in the NCIS universe.” Could this mean a romantic revival is on the horizon?

The pair’s chemistry has always been undeniable, from their playful banter to their heartfelt moments during Palmer’s grief over losing his wife. Though Knight’s undercover assignment pulled them apart, fans never stopped rooting for them. Now, with Law confirming Knight’s return to the team full-time, the door is wide open for a rekindled spark—especially since Dietzen recently told TVLine, “Jimmy deserves happiness, and fans know who they want that with.”

Insiders suggest that Season 21 might explore Knight and Palmer’s unresolved tension, especially after that lingering hug in last season’s finale. With showrunners acknowledging fan demand for the pairing, could 2025 finally deliver the Knight-Palmer romance we’ve been waiting for? One thing’s for sure—NCIS isn’t done with love stories yet, and these two might just be next. Stay tuned!
