Which Stars Are Still Around on Long-Running Shows Like ‘NCIS,’ ‘Grey’s & More?
As we wait for the 2020-2021 season to officially begin, with most return dates delayed due to the pandemic’s effects on production, we’re taking a look at some of the shows that have been around the longest. (For example, there are six that are in double-digit seasons.)
Cast changes are pretty much always inevitable, and in most cases, there have been some additions to the casts of these live-action series entering (or continuing) at least a seventh season. But for some, like Supernatural, Blue Bloods, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, there has been little change. For others, like Law & Order: SVU and NCIS, there are only one or two series regulars still around from the very beginning.
Scroll down to see the series regulars that are still around (in the same capacity) on these long-running shows and others, including black-ish, Chicago Fire, and Grey’s Anatomy.
