NCIS Season 23 Confirmed: What We Know So Far About the Next Chapter
NCIS fans, get ready โ the long-running CBS hit is officially coming back for Season 23. The news was confirmed back in February 2025, even before the explosive Season 22 finale aired. While details remain under wraps, one thingโs for sure: the next chapter is set to bring even more emotion, action, and high-stakes drama.
A Shocking Season 22 Finale
Season 22 ended on a heartbreaking note, as Special Agent Alden Parker (played by Gary Cole) suffered a personal loss โ the death of his father at the hands of a vengeful nemesis. The emotional impact of this event is expected to carry into the upcoming season, adding new depth to Parkerโs character and likely influencing the tone of the early episodes.
What to Expect in Season 23
Although CBS has yet to release any official plot details, fans can expect Season 23 to pick up where Season 22 left off, diving deeper into Parkerโs grief and resilience while the team continues to tackle new, high-stakes investigations. The full cast from Season 22 is expected to return, keeping the team dynamic strong and familiar.
As of now, the premiere date hasnโt been confirmed, but the series is likely to return in fall 2025 or early 2026, following its usual broadcast schedule. With no trailers or teasers yet released, speculation continues to swirl around the direction the writers will take โ especially after the emotional weight of the last finale.
