TV shows can’t last forever. And the longer the show runs, the more likely it is to be closer to the finale of the series than not. Take, for example, NCIS franchise. He has already said goodbye to one spinoff (New Orleans2021), and NCIS enters its 20th season and Angels in his 14. Can both be completed in 2023.
We hired a fantastic writer named Marco Schnabel a few years ago and he asked me, ‘When are we going to get our truck?’ And in a half-hearted way I told him this, but also half-seriously, ‘What do you mean pickup? … It always has been NCISit always will be NCIS“, Says executive producer Stephen D. Binder for TV Insider. “And that’s how we feel. It may not be now, but when 20 years have passed, it is hard to imagine that this year will be the year when it ends. So, if people keep watching, we will keep making the show, and people will keep watching. ”

He knows it like all shows, NCIS‘grades drop every year (and this one included a switch to Monday night), but what’s’ amazing’ is that we’ve been on top for 13 seasons, and I don’t know that even I really understand what that means or how special this is or how rare this is or how happy we all are until it ends or until I leave because I believe I will leave and the show will continue to go.I just don’t see this show ending.I think that if we continue to we’re telling good stories, I think the show will continue. “
The real test for the show came last season, when Mark Harmon, who played Leroy Jetro Gibbs from a backdoor pilot at I, came out in four episodes. But the show continued to go well. “It simply came to our notice then. “I was hoping - because I had to be, and that’s not my nature - that we would still be able to continue without Gibbs,” admits Binder.
“We lost Abby [Pauley Perrette] and we lost Tony [Michael Weatherly] and we lost Mercury [Cote de Pablo] and we lost Kate [Sasha Alexander]”, He continues. “We lost a lot of other people who were if not cotton, they were stitches, Mike Franks [Muse Watson] and all those guys and Jenny Shepard [Lauren Holly]. We lost a lot of people, but Gibbs is Gibbs, will this break us? And it wasn’t. ” So who could it be? “It will be Vance’s assistant director - when they leave, it will be the end of the show.”

In the meantime, NCIS: Los Angeles Executive Producer R. Scott Gemmill says that the finale of the 13th season of good feeling was “partly because we didn’t know if we would be renewed”. on the NCIS: LA“We always keep it [in the back of our minds]”So that the season could be the last,” he says. “It will be sad, but everything has to end someday.”
Whenever the series ends, fans should probably expect another episode of goodwill. “We always ask that if CBS thinks this is the end of the series, they should at least warn us a little bit, so that we can really close many of our characters for the sake of the audience,” Gemmill explains. “If anyone has watched your show 13, 14 seasons, I think they deserve it - and I say that as a fan, but I want to watch the last episode and feel really good about the characters and the time I invested in those shows and want to stay with I think things are going well for everyone. We hope that this is not our last season, but it is very possible that it will be, so we will always have it in the background, just in case we have to say goodbye to everyone. “
But for now, what we do know is that they will both be back for the 2022-2023 season.
