NCIS certainly knows how to do a finale cliffhanger that will have fans talking all summer as they wait for the next season. That’s true once again, going into Season 24 in fall 2026, with the last image of the finale being a gunshot — with who fired them and who was hit a mystery.
But it’s not just the matter of what McGee’s (Sean Murray) newly discovered teen son, Mateo (Patrick Keleher) got caught up in, and Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) became wise to that Season 24 must address in its premiere. There’s also been one loose thread since the 500th episode, as well as a potential love triangle. Plus, after a successful crossover with the prequelOrigins, and since events across the franchise are rare but do happen, there’s a question of another crossover between those two shows or with a new spinoff coming to CBS.
Below, we take a look at our burning questions for Season 24. Let us know yours in the comments section.
