Fans of *NCIS* who have been rooting for the slow-burn romance between Jessica Knight and Jimmy Palmer just got a jolt of renewed hope, thanks to recent behind-the-scenes teases from Katrina Law and Brian Dietzen. While the series has been known for its subtle romantic arcs, this potential couple has steadily built chemistry over the past few seasons—and it looks like things may be heating up once again.

In interviews and social media posts, both actors have dropped hints that their characters’ relationship might not be as dormant as it appeared in Season 21. Katrina Law recently joked that “Knight and Palmer aren’t done yet,” while Dietzen added fuel to the speculation by posting a photo of the two on set with a telling caption that had fans buzzing. Their lighthearted teasing has reignited hope that the series could finally give this fan-favorite duo a proper romantic payoff.

On-screen, the pair has shared intimate moments, meaningful glances, and emotional support during some of the show’s darkest cases. Their bond was especially highlighted in Season 20, but after some narrative setbacks, fans feared the romance had been shelved. However, with both actors still deeply involved in the show and continuing to play up their characters’ dynamic, it seems clear that the spark is still alive behind the scenes.

Whether the writers officially pull the trigger on a full-fledged relationship remains to be seen, but the momentum is definitely building. With *NCIS* known for long-form storytelling and emotional restraint, Knight and Palmer could be the next big slow-burn romance to take center stage. For now, fans are watching every scene—and every off-camera post—for signs that the heart of the team may soon be beating a little faster.
