NCIS: A new character enters the series and will turn Jessica and Jimmy’s lives upside down

Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) and Jessica Knight (Katrina Lowe) have had some issues with NCIS since their relationship began, but they finally made it official and expressed their love in season 20.

If they are living in a beautiful story now, complications seem to lie ahead with the arrival of a new character in the current 21st season, as shown by the showrunners of the series, Stephen D. Binder and David North revealed on TV Line. Indeed, we will learn more about Jessica’s story… by meeting her father!

“Knight has her own special family drama to deal with when her father shows up on a case and has some ideas about what his daughter should do with her life. And, of course, there’s poor Jimmy Palmer, right where no one wants to be stuck: that is, in the middle of the Knight family feud.”

• NCIS: Good news for Gibbs fans, a new series is coming!

And we already know who will play this troubled father figure! It will definitely be Russell Wong, whom we can see in Westworld or the TV series The Oath with Katrina Law Moreover, who will play the father of the latter on screen.

The return of DiNozzo?

We told you about it last month, after an 8-year absence, DiNozzo could be back NCIS, if we are to believe the words of Michael Weatherly on X (formerly Twitter). When asked which character he would prefer to play between DiNozzo and Bull, the actor replied that he “There will be more dinozo soon as he is the only character I feel like unfinished business with… that’s my plan! You will see…“

• NCIS: By the way, why does Gibbs wear a medical bracelet in every episode of the series?

We don’t know much about this potential return at this time. Could she be in the original series, maybe alongside Ziva? Or will DiNozzo get his own spinoff, just like Gibbs? To be continued.

Season 19 of NCIS: Special Investigations is currently streaming on 6Ter. The first 18 seasons of the series can still be seen streaming on Prime Video.
