NCIS has undergone several major changes in recent years. The departure of Mark Harmon’s Gibbs in Season 19 and the passing of David McCallum in 2023, which was followed by an emotional farewell to Ducky in Season 21, have left fans wondering who might leave next.

That naturally raises the question: is Sean Murray, who plays Special Agent Timothy McGee, planning to exit?

Murray has been a mainstay since Season 1, and while it’s fair to assume he might want a change after two decades, there’s no sign he’s leaving. In an interview with TV Insider, Murray sounded confident about the show’s future, saying he expects NCIS to return for Season 22.

He didn’t hint at stepping away, and recent episodes like “The Plan,” which gave McGee new personal twists, show the writers are still finding fresh angles for his character.

In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murray said he’s “so happy where I’m at” and isn’t looking to move on anytime soon. While he acknowledged that one day NCIS will end, he said he’d like to explore something completely different when that time comes.

For now, the NCIS universe remains strong with popular spinoffs like NCIS: Hawai’i and the upcoming prequel NCIS: Origins. And until Sean Murray says otherwise, it’s safe to assume McGee isn’t going anywhere.

Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David are officially back-and this time, they’re not just partners, they’re parents. NCIS: Tony & Ziva, a brand-new spinoff coming to Paramount+, reunites Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo in a fast-paced, romantic, and emotional thriller set against the backdrop of Europe.

The 10-episode series picks up years after their off-screen reunion, with Tony and Ziva raising their 12-year-old daughter, Tali (played by Isla Gie), in Paris. But life in the City of Light doesn’t stay peaceful for long.

When Tony’s private security firm is att4cked, the family is forced to go on the run-racing across Europe to stay ahead of an unknown enemy and uncover who’s after them.

What unfolds is a mix of espionage, danger, and classic Tiva tension. The couple must confront their complicated past, navigate new challenges, and learn to trust each other again-all while keeping their daughter safe.

“This is for the fans who’ve stuck with us all these years,” Weatherly and de Pablo said in a joint statement. “It’s an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears, and laughter.”

In a teaser, de Pablo teased what fans can expect: “Intrigue, romance, the background of Europe, and impossible situations—complicated, but with a little something about love.”

Though the show stands on its own, it’s full of nods to longtime NCIS viewers. Tony originally left the series in Season 13 after learning Ziva-thought to be dead-had secretly given birth to Tali. Ziva returned in Season 16, revealing she had faked her death and gone into hiding. Their eventual reunion happened off-screen-until now.

The Paris setting is more than just scenic-it’s a heartfelt callback to their early days undercover together in France, a full-circle moment longtime fans will appreciate.

Weatherly told Variety that filming with de Pablo again felt “surprisingly natural. Informed by the past, illuminated by the present, and trying to see a future together.”

NCIS: Tony & Ziva premieres September 4, 2025, with the first three episodes streaming on Paramount+. New episodes will follow weekly, leading up to the finale on October 23.
