NCIS Season 23 may be laying the foundation for a major shake-up inside the MCRT team.
Following the sudden loss of Director Leon Vance, Timothy McGee has emerged as a natural candidate to take over the agency’s top position. Although CBS has yet to officially confirm the promotion, the storyline increasingly points toward a leadership transition.
That shift would have major consequences for the team’s structure. As the longest-serving agent still working cases, McGee’s move upstairs would leave a leadership gap alongside Alden Parker in the field.
The recent reappearance of tech operator Curtis Hubley in “Knick Knack” has also sparked speculation that the series is preparing viewers for future staffing changes within the core ensemble.
If McGee becomes Director, NCIS could soon enter another reinvention phase—similar to the one that followed Gibbs’ departure. 🔄
