NCIS could be heading toward a major shake-up—and Timothy McGee might be next in line to take charge.
After the shocking death of Director Leon Vance, Season 23 appears to be setting the stage for McGee’s rise to the top. While CBS hasn’t made anything official, recent episodes strongly hint that the longtime agent could become the next NCIS Director.
Such a move would mark a huge shift for the MCRT team. McGee, portrayed by Sean Murray, is now the longest-serving character on the show, and his departure from the field would leave a noticeable void.
Meanwhile, Episode 15, “Knick Knack,” saw the return of tech operator Curtis Hubley during Kasie’s absence—something fans believe could signal a broader plan to strengthen the team ahead of big changes.
