NCIS teases huge change for season 20 - and fans will not be happy

May 24, 2022 - 13:13 BST Eve Crosbie NCIS wrapped up its 19th season this week, and we're already counting down the days until its back on our screens!However, it seems that viewers can expect a major change when the drama makes its return for season 20 later this year - and it's sure to upset fans who have been hoping to see more of the show's former lead star, Mark Harmon.

Speaking to TV Line, CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl explained that season 19 was a"transition" year , and so that's why they decided to keep his mention in the credits throughout the whole season's run."That's something we might look at going forward," he added, implying that Mark may well find himself removed from the credits for the new episodes that air in the fall.

Elsewhere in the chat, the question of Mark reprising his role anytime soon was also brought up, and Kelly gave a disappointing answer. Although Mark has no plans to return right now,"everyone is aware that the door is open if he ever wants to pop in for an episode, or multiple episodes," he said.Mark's inclusion in the credits kept hope alive among fans that he could still return after his character decided to retire from law enforcement back at the beginning of season 19.

At the time, showrunner Steve Binder released a statement that heavily suggested Gibbs was not gone for good. He said that not only does Mark"continue to be an integral part of the fabric of the show," due to his off-screen role as an executive producer, but that viewers should"never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out".Like this story?
