CBS has confirmed that Katrina Law will return as Jessica Knight in NCIS Season 22, dispelling rumors of her exit. Despite Season 21’s finale teasing Knight’s departure with a dream job offer, promotional images for the upcoming season show her as part of the Major Case Response Team (MCRT).
This reveal assuages fans’ concerns regarding her character’s future. Knight’s projected exit is similar to earlier NCIS plots involving Ellie Bishop, Ziva David, and Kate Todd, in which characters were hinted at leaving but eventually stayed.
