NCIS Season 22 Report Hints At McGee’s Possible Show-Changing New Job

Timothy McGee may have a brand-new job in NCIS season 22 that will change the show. Much of the focus on the upcoming return of CBS’ hit procedural is on Jessica Knight’s status with the Major Case Response Team after she decided to take her dream job at Camp Pendleton in the season 21 finale. While the resolution to that remains up in the air, NCIS season 22 is also setting up interesting storylines for the rest of Alden Parker’s team at the Navy Yard. That includes a potential major promotion for Sean Murray’s character, who has been a field agent since season 1.

As part of Entertainment Weekly’s preview of NCIS season 22, it has been revealed that the new year will pick up six months after Knight left MCRT. Parker is operating with a much smaller team, and to make things worse, his members are focused on other endeavors. Nick Torres is back going undercover, while McGee, surprisingly, is vying for a promotion to be a deputy director. It’s unclear what prompted him to chase this new role, but the squad is forced to get back together after Parker gets a tricky case.
