NCIS season 18: Showrunner confirms series will address pandemic by February 2021

The experience has been somewhat disorientating for some viewers who have also been keeping up with the show’s two spin-offs, based in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

While NCIS: Los Angeles has leapt forward to a post-COVID world, the most recent offshoot has gone for a riskier approach by setting the action in the midst of the pandemic.

Although the current season of the flagship series has been a blissful escape from the realities of 2020, Binder confirmed fans’ worst fears and revealed Gibbs and the team will eventually have to deal with the effects of coronavirus.

Speaking to TVLine, he explained the current season will refer back to the makeshift finale of season 17, The Arizona, to bring the audience back up to speed.
