NCIS has bid farewell to many of its main characters over its two-decade run, a testament to the show’s longevity and ability to maintain quality even in the face of cast changes. Unlike other shows that falter when a main character departs, NCIS soldiers on, keeping viewers engaged with new storylines and characters.
As the upcoming season 21 approaches, details have been scarce due to delays pushing production into 2024. While the writers’ room is back in action, it’s still too early to know what’s in store. However, there are whispers of potential departures looming.
One character whose future is uncertain is Nick Torres, portrayed by Wilmer Valderrama. Rumors of Valderrama’s personal controversies have fueled speculation that Torres may be written off the show in season 21. The character faced some intense moments in the season 20 finale, leading fans to wonder about his fate. However, with Valderrama unable to comment due to the actors’ strike, fans can only hope these rumors remain unsubstantiated.
Unfortunately, the departure of David McCallum, who portrayed Donald “Ducky” Mallard, is confirmed. McCallum’s passing was a somber moment, and the show must now grapple with how to address his absence. With production delayed, there’s no chance for McCallum to film scenes as Ducky, leaving fans to wonder how the show will handle his character’s exit. Regardless, viewers anticipate a heartfelt tribute to McCallum, possibly featuring cameos from original cast members to honor his legacy.
