NCIS, the popular procedural franchise, is set to celebrate a significant milestone with its 1000th overall episode. Despite facing a shortened year, the show has managed to reach this impressive achievement. The latest season, NCIS season 21, has been filled with dramatic events, including Nick Torres' near-imprisonment and the emotional death of Ducky Mallard, which saw the return of Michael Weatherly's Tony DiNozzo.
The official NCISVerse Instagram account recently shared a video commemorating the franchise's 1000th episode. The video features a compilation of clips from various shows within the NCIS Universe, including past series like NCIS: LA and NCIS: New Orleans.
The milestone will be highlighted in the upcoming episode of NCIS season 21 titled 'A Thousand Yards,' focusing on NCIS Director Leon Vance. The storyline will see Special Agent Alden Parker's team and their allies coming together to face a threat from the past, with Joe Spano's Tobias Fornell making a guest appearance.
While fans have been eagerly anticipating the return of Mark Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs, his absence in recent episodes has left many disappointed. However, there is still hope for Gibbs' comeback in future episodes, as Harmon is set to be involved in the expanding NCIS Universe with the upcoming prequel series, NCIS: Origins.
Despite the absence of Gibbs in the 1000th episode, the show continues to captivate audiences with its compelling storylines and dynamic characters. NCIS season 21 airs every Monday at 9pm ET on CBS, offering viewers a thrilling blend of crime-solving and character-driven drama.
NCIS follows the adventures of Special Agent Alden Parker and his team as they navigate high-stress situations with wit and determination. From solving complex cases to facing terrorism threats, the NCIS agents bring a unique blend of skills and personalities to each investigation, making the show a fan favorite for over a decade.
