Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There's a reason that Kate was killed off so early in NCIS history. After spinning off of JAG in 2002, NCIS has gone on to become a runaway hit of its own.
The death of Kate has had an impact on the show that lasted from season 2 to the upcoming season 21. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson and co-creator Donald P. Bellisario spoke about how they made the decision to kill Kate. With Alexander looking to ease her workload on the series, Bellisario decided that it was an excellent vehicle to increase the stakes.
JOHNSON : In year two, Sasha went to Don and said, “I love this show, but I just can’t work this hard.” We were doing long hours. I don’t think she wanted to leave the show — she just wanted a lighter workload. Bellisario was always a writer who went for the cataclysmic. He went, “Well, what if we kill her off?” Everybody goes, “What?” And he went to her and told her, “Good news — your workload is going to be lighter. But you’re going to die.
BELLISARIO : I wanted to do a shocker, so that’s what I did, and people didn’t expect that at all. It came out of nowhere.
