If you are reading this article, there is a good chance that you know already that there will be an NCIS season 20 on CBS. With that being said, you should know this: There is no confirmed episode count just yet!

Odds are, we’re looking at a situation where the show does anywhere between 20-24 episodes for the upcoming season. Years ago, we could just write in 24 with permanent marker and be done with it; it’s just clear at this point that we’re in a totally different era.

New NCIS video! If you have not watched our most recent discussion on the season 19 finale, what are you waiting for? Take a look at that below! Once you do, be sure to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube. There are other updates coming and we don’t want you to miss them.

If we had to render a guess here, we would say that NCIS is going to be gearing up for a 22-episode season this go-around, similar to what NCIS: Hawaii did. At one point, it looked like there could be 22 this season, but there was a production shutdown at one point.

The most important thing with NCIS right now should be the stories more so than specific numbers. We do think there’s potential for a lot of great stuff with the way that season 19 ended. There’s a ton to explore here with the Raven, just like there’s a lot we could dive into when it comes to Jimmy and Jessica’s relationship. It feels like we have a lot of character-specific material that they can focus on, and somehow, we’ve got new wrinkles to explore that we never have, even after two decades.
