CBS is starting a new era for NCIS as season 24 is confirmed to have an expanded cast, marking a significant shift in the show's dynamics.

The procedural has been on a painful journey since it had to say goodbye to Mark Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs five years ago, and this new development is expected to bring fresh faces to the table.

Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Nick Torres, recently revealed that NCIS season 24 will see some major changes, including the introduction of new characters, which will mark the first time that CBS is revamping the MCRT since Jessica Knight joined on the heels of Gibbs' retirement in Alaska.
