A longtime NCIS cast member has responded to growing speculation about their possible exit from the long-running CBS series. In a recent interview, the veteran star commented on the show’s unpredictability, the future of their character, and what fans can expect in the upcoming episodes. The remarks come as the series continues to evolve in its 22nd season.
Sean Murray on if he’s leaving NCIS soon
Sean Murray has addressed speculation about his potential departure from NCIS in an interview with TVLine, stating, “There’s always an element of the gossip thing that comes up.” He cautioned fans not to assume stability, adding, “Things can take big, unexpected turns with characters. I mean, things can happen. No one is ever quite safe on this show.”
While Murray did not confirm any immediate plans to leave, he reminded audiences of the show’s unpredictable history. “Don’t forget: We were also the show [where] one of the lead characters took a bullet and died at the end of Season 2.” This was in reference to the surprise death of Caitlin Todd, played by Sasha Alexander, in the show’s early years.
Murray has played Special Agent Timothy McGee since Season 1 of NCIS. He is currently the longest-serving cast member and has appeared in more episodes than anyone else. Over the years, he has gone from a junior agent to a senior and trusted member of the NCIS team.
He also hinted at upcoming twists in Season 22, stating, “We’ve had some really surprising things happen… I can tell you there’s stuff coming up this year that longtime fans of the show are really going to enjoy, because it’s different for us and unexpected.” This suggests that the storyline may include developments that could affect key characters, including McGee.
Murray has not announced a formal exit, but his comments and the show’s history suggest that viewers should stay prepared for future changes. He has not confirmed any decisions, but he appears to acknowledge that NCIS characters can exit at any time.
