With a viewership of around 10 million per season, “NCIS” continues to inspire affection and multiple spin-offs, with last year’s “NCIS: Origins” – which will drop new episodes immediately after all-new “NCIS” – just the most recent.
Before its winter hiatus, season 22 found agents Alden (Gary Cole), Nicolas Torres (Wilmer Valderrama), and Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) defusing with all manner of criminal operation. Torres risked his life going undercover with the Nexus cartel. The team prevented a former Navy Captain from leaking his Soviet past. Plus. And NCIS director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) and his staff found themselves extracting more moles than a dermatologist.
The personal and professional stakes remain just as high. Midseason storylines include Alden trying to help a victim of blackmail, while the identity of Torres’ new girlfriend causes quite the commotion. As showrunner Steven D. Binder teased, “the person who is going to have the biggest problem with it will also be the last to know.”

Can I watch ‘NCIS’ season 22 in the U.K.?
Alas, U.K. viewers remain a few months behind their U.S. cousins. While every prior season of “NCIS” are currently available with a Disney Plus subscription (from only £4.99 for its ad-supported plan), season 22 episodes only started their weekly release on January 8. We expect it’ll be April 2025 before the latest instalments land across the Atlantic.
NB: if you’re a U.S. citizen travelling abroad, you can download a VPN and connect to your usual streaming service, meaning you can still watch “NCIS” from wherever you are.

How many episodes of ‘NCIS’ season 22 will there be?
With the exceptions of the truncated season 21 (due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes) and season 18 (during the pandemic), every new season of “NCIS” tends to have 24 episodes. Nine of those have already aired, and given that the L.A. fires also disrupted production, we’d expect maybe ten more.
