As NCIS gears up for its 500th episode, Sean Murray is teasing a season packed with surprises. The veteran actor, who plays McGee, promises that Season 23 will deliver storylines that leave fans genuinely shocked — not just minor fakeouts.
The long-running procedural has regained momentum in the 2025–2026 TV cycle, thanks to strong storytelling. Season 23 has already tackled Parker’s father’s murder, hinted at a romance between Knight and Torres, and reintroduced McGee’s author alter-ego, Thom E. Gemcity. The show even featured its first crossover with NCIS: Origins.
Murray hinted that viewers can expect high-stakes developments across the MCRT team, teasing shocking twists involving multiple characters. While details remain under wraps, speculation is rife — could a major death or unexpected return shake the team? Rumors have also swirled about Murray potentially leaving the show, adding to the intrigue.
Fans may also see surprises like Emily Wickersham reprising her role as Ellie Bishop. With NCIS pushing storytelling boundaries after 500 episodes, Season 23 promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
