NCIS season 21 episode 1: Release date, plot, exact time, and more 

CBS’ NCIS first premiered way back in September 2003. Currently, it has released a total of 20 complete seasons, with the upcoming 21st also heavily hyped amongst the show’s dedicated viewer base. Season 20 of NCIS, as fans will already know, ended with a devastating cliffhanger that left a range of unanswered questions.

They are expected to be answered in the upcoming Season 21, which is set to premiere on February 12 on CBS. The first episode, titled Algún Día, can be expected to straightaway immerse fans in the adventures of Special Agent Nick Torres, who was seen struggling with a past, family-related problem in Season 20.

The police procedural drama saw Torres being supported by members of his team towards the end of Season 20, despite him having to go against multiple superior officers. Directed by Diana Valentine, NCIS Season 21 promises a similar rollercoaster ride as most seasons have provided thus far.
