‘NCIS’ Season 19 Promo: The Team Finds the Boat Wreckage, But Where’s Gibbs? (VIDEO)
When NCIS Season 18 ended, Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), still suspended, was investigating a serial killer alongside reporter Marcie Warren (Pam Dawber). While out on the water, his boat exploded, presumably connected to that case. And when the series returns this fall, it’s time for the team — Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama), and Jessica Knight (Katrina Law, now a series regular) — to get clued in.
In fact, the first Season 19 promo shows the three of them searching relentlessly for Gibbs, who’s not just a boss, McGee informs the local sheriff onshore amidst the boat’s wreckage. “He’s family.” No survivors are found, but who’s in what looks like a body bag? Could it be another one of the serial killer’s victims?
The photos already show that the team will be talking to Marcie, and now the promo shows that they’ll be checking out her place, too — and it was searched before they got there. Is the reporter the serial killer’s next target?
As for Gibbs, other than the reminder of his boat exploding, the only time we see him in the promo is at the end, floating in the water. (Remember, we saw him swimming away from the explosion at the end of the finale.) How long before his team knows definitively that he’s alive? Watch the promo below for more.

Law’s promotion and Harmons’ uncertain future — we still don’t know how many episodes he’ll be in this season, amidst rumors of him going part-time — aren’t the only changes coming to the procedural drama this fall. Gary Cole has also joined as FBI Special Agent Alden Park. Plus, the series is moving from its usual Tuesday, 8/7c slot, to Mondays at 9/8c, leading into the new spinoff, NCIS: Hawai’i.

With less of Mark Harmon and more of Katrina Law, I doubt I'll be as devoted to the show. I would love for Pam and Mark to end up together on the show: art imitating life.

When Mark Harmon leaves the show, there will be less viewers. I won't be watching NCIS, I always looked forward to the night it was on. Now I will have to find something else to watch

when mark harmon leaves the show 98% of the viewers will do the same. But he is getting older and its harder to keep up. Maybe CBS can come up with a new show for him. I just watched an English show on Britbox about a special unit of old farts working cases.

oniNCIS will not be the same if 'Gibbs' Mark Hamon is not on. It has been my favorite since the beginning...it's like gotta get my Gibbs fix...he makes the show. I am not sure my interest and commitment will continue if he leaves. I didn't like it when Mike Frank left that created a void truth be known. I understand change but it's really hard to replace the person that IS the show. I love that his wife is part of it. I was sad to see Jack leave too, but that was more acceptable. It survived after Ziva and Tony left (I love his new show) but here again it was adjustable. I miss Duckie too, at least he appears at times. I know about getting older and time for retirement, but I sure hope Gibbs continues to be part of this at least one more season, maybe easing a replacement in. I am looking for to the NCIS Las Vegas returning for sure, that's what started it all and of course NCIS Hawaii. Guess you can say I'm a NCIS fan, the formats are my kind. I have found not as committed to NCIS LA, although I love Hetty and most of the other characters. It will be an interesting season for sure all around.
