NCIS Showrunner Makes Ambiguous Revelation About Jessica Knight’s Future in Season 22
The character’s drama is now more entangled than ever.
NCIS season 21 left its fans in desperate anticipation for the show’s next installment that will unveil all the mysteries which were dropped uncovered.
The latest season ended on two major cliffhangers making things pretty much unclear about how Jessica Knight’s career path will change and whether it will affect her personal life in a bad way, while there’s also a lot to ask about Alden Parker’s hallucination that will possibly lead to his background story enlargement.
While fans still have several months to come up with all the possible turn of events for Jessica Knight, NCIS showrunner has recently opened up about the character’s future in the next season, but his answer may cause even more confusion among the series’ viewers.
Following the season 21 finale and its cliffhangers that left most fans more than bewildered, NCIS co-showrunner Steve D. Binder revealed that Jessica Knight’s fate has already been decided, but in a tricky way. According to Binder, the show “had people look like they were going away and then it’s found out they weren’t going away, and then people who just disappear like Gibbs.”
With Jessica Knight it’s indeed going to be different, as her possible departure is what will bring her to a huge dilemma of whether to accept her dream job and leave the MCRT and her relationship with Jimmy Palmer behind or rather prioritize her personal happiness that doesn’t seem to be that far from her.
Still, Binder seemingly made a sinister hint that Jessica’s romance with Jimmy is now at the point “where suddenly things are in flux in a way that it makes it easier for her to say goodbye.”
The showrunner then clarified that the crew does seem to know what the audience really wants to see as he stated that they “do aim to please.” Expressing his certainty in viewers’ contentment with the upcoming season, Binder stressed that “sometimes that satisfaction is bittersweet and sometimes it’s just pure joy. You’ll have to wait to find out which one it’s going to be.”
NCIS season 22 will arrive at CBS this fall.
