It’s time to check in with NCIS and see what’s in store for the team once more. NCIS season 22 is here, and we have some answers to our burning questions.

Naturally, one of the biggest questions after the end of season 21 was whether Katrina Law would still be part of the series. In some excellent news she is, and she’s going to need to work with NCIS throughout the premiere.

What to expect in the NCIS season 22 premiere

We know that Jessica Knight is leading REACT, and that leads to her being in a difficult and dangerous situation. It will rely on NCIS to help her out, but NCIS has its own issues to deal with.

Torres is currently working undercover, and McGee is focused on getting a deputy director promotion. Then there’s Palmer who is dealing with the loss of Jessica after she chose her career over him. Parker is the one available to help, but he can’t do it all alone.

Check out the synopsis for the NCIS season 22 premiere:

"NCIS searches for a missing undercover agent in the midst of an active hostage situation."

NCIS airs Mondays at 9/8c on CBS. Catch up the following day on Paramount+.
