Will Sean Murray reprise his role in NCIS Season 20?
We have great news that, at least throughout NCIS Season 20, we will see more of Timothy McGee. He is not going anywhere and is ready to return for the upcoming season. It is reported that he will appear in the first episode and subsequent ones. This has been verified by cast members’ behind-the-scenes pictures and clips (below) shared by the cast members for the season’s first episode.
In addition to this, it is reported that some of the NCIS: Hawai’i team members will eventually get to meet McGee, as the only squad member who will not travel to Hawai’i is Timothy McGee, which is unfortunate. But we are hopeful that it will happen soon, and it will be exciting to see how these characters from different shows of the same franchise will interact with one another.
Moreover, Wilmer Valderrama, who plays NCIS Special Agent Nicholas Torres, also shared a BTS clip where we can see Sean Murray alongside his castmates, quoting, “Production for Season 20 of #NCIS is officially in progress. Day 1, Who’s ready!?” Take a look at the official post below:
