About season 21 of NCIS

Fans will recall that NCIS was renewed for its 21st season in February 2022. Meanwhile, despite the fact that this was the first full season with Gary Cole playing team leader Alden Parker, the series remained the most-watched scripted drama series on broadcast TV. In fact, the series is officially the third-longest-running US scripted primetime drama series, only lagging behind Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order.

So far, CBS is keeping the full synopsis for the finale under wraps; however, the March 20 episode is sure to be exciting. Titled, Stranger in a Strange Land, the episode will see the team working on the murder of a Marine private. Apparently, he may have been murdered for helping an Afghan refugee. Moreover, Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) is feeling the pressure of raising his teenage daughter, when she wants to go out on an unsupervised date.
