NCIS has been evolving ever since Leroy Jethro Gibbs stepped away—and now another major transition may be on the horizon.
Season 23 appears to be positioning Timothy McGee as the agency’s next Director following Leon Vance’s unexpected death. While the promotion hasn’t been confirmed yet, recent developments suggest CBS is carefully preparing viewers for the possibility.
McGee’s move into leadership would mark the biggest change to his character since he first joined the team as a young agent. It would also reshape the MCRT unit, where his experience and stability have long been essential.
The return of tech operator Curtis Hubley during Kasie’s absence hints that the show may already be building a deeper supporting lineup to help ease the transition.
If the shift becomes official, NCIS could once again redefine itself for a new era—this time with McGee at the top. 📡
