Production edit
Development edit
The season was ordered on May 6, 2020.[3] On June 3, 2020, Steven D. Binder announced that the writers had begun working on the season.[21] Scripts initially written for cancelled Season 17 episodes were integrated into this season's second and fourth episodes, "Everything Starts Somewhere" and "Sunburn." The exit of Maria Bello's Jacqueline Sloane, which would have occurred in the unproduced Season 17 finale, was integrated into the season's eighth episode, "True Believer," though similarities to the originally planned storyline remain undetermined. On August 12, 2020, it was announced that CBS Television Studios had signed a deal with the law enforcement advisory group 21CP Solutions, to consult on its crime and legal dramas, which includes NCIS. 21CP Solutions would help the series to more accurately portray law enforcement; this comes after the George Floyd protests, which caused the television industry to rethink their portrayal of law enforcement.[22] On September 21, 2020, it was announced that the season would start by exploring where Gibbs, played by series star Mark Harmon, disappeared to during the episode "Musical Chairs" from the previous season, before returning to the present day.[23] On October 27, 2020, it was announced that season would comprise sixteen episodes.[2]
Filming edit
The planned twenty-first episode of the seventeenth season, which was postponed due to production on the season being shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, was the first episode filmed of season eighteen. The planned twenty-second episode of season seventeen, which would have been the 400th episode of the series, was filmed and aired second, which kept it as the 400th episode.[24] Production on the eighteenth season began on September 9, 2020, and the series continued to be filmed in Los Angeles.[25] Filming for season 18 wrapped up on March 29, 2021.[26]
Casting edit
On May 6, 2020, it was announced that Harmon had closed a new deal with CBS Television Studios.[27] On July 24, 2020, it was announced that series regular Maria Bello is set to leave the show during the season, and appear in eight episodes to wrap up her character's storyline.[4] On September 9, 2020, it was announced that Harmon's son Sean, would return in episode two as a younger version of his father's character.[28] On October 21, 2020, it was announced that Adam Campbell would also return in episode two, as a younger version of Ducky.[29] In March 2021, Katrina Law was cast in the role of Jessica Knight.[30] Law appeared in the final two episodes of the season with the potential to become a series regular if the series is renewed for a nineteenth season.[31] On May 26, 2021, it was confirmed that series regular Emily Wickersham would leave the series after 8 years.[5]
Release edit
The season is set to premiere during the 2020–21 television season as part of CBS's Tuesday lineup with FBI and FBI: Most Wanted.[32] On August 26, 2020, it was announced that CBS hoped to begin airing the season in November 2020.[33] On October 13, 2020, it was announced that the season would premiere on November 17, 2020.[1] It was also announced that this will be the final season on the Tuesday timeslot, it will be moved on Mondays on its 19th season leading into its new spinoff series NCIS: Hawaiʻi.[34]
