After more than two decades on the air, NCIS remains one of television’s most-watched and beloved crime dramas. Fans are eager to know when Season 23 will arrive — and while CBS hasn’t confirmed an exact release date yet, the show is expected to return in the fall of 2025, following its usual premiere schedule.

One of the biggest questions is who will return. Gary Cole (Alden Parker), Sean Murray (Tim McGee), and Wilmer Valderrama (Nick Torres) are all expected to reprise their roles. However, there’s been ongoing speculation about whether Mark Harmon (Leroy Jethro Gibbs) might make a surprise return — though nothing has been officially announced.

Season 22 ended on a dramatic note, setting the stage for major changes in the team dynamic. Writers have hinted at more character-driven episodes and unexpected twists in Season 23, promising to keep longtime fans on the edge of their seats.

As always, CBS is keeping most plot details under wraps, but one thing is clear: NCIS shows no signs of slowing down. Stay tuned for more updates as the new season approaches.
