“Wilmer Valderrama Teases ‘Emotional Shift’ for Torres in Season 22 — Is a Major Departure Coming?”
After Season 21’s intense cliffhanger — where Nick Torres faced down a man from his past in a deadly standoff — fans have been bracing for what’s next. And now, Wilmer Valderrama is dropping clues that Season 22 could change everything for Torres.
“We’re going to see a different side of him,” Valderrama said at a recent fan convention. “He’s struggling with identity, purpose, and how far he’ll go for justice.”
Rumors are swirling that Torres may be pulled into a dangerous undercover mission that could separate him from the team permanently. Some even think he might leave NCIS altogether — or end up crossing a line he can’t come back from.
With Valderrama also attached to a Zorro reboot, fans are wondering if he’s preparing for an exit. Whatever happens, it’s clear: Torres’ journey is about to get dark, personal, and possibly tragic.
