Just after Michael Weatherly announced his withdrawal from the American crime based show, NCIS, the future trajectory of Season 14 was in serious limbo. The character of Tony DiNozzo was tagged with a question mark when Michael Weatherly decided to begin his journey in a new series.
But the good news is that NCIS isn't going anywhere soon, as CBS has renewed the spectacle for 14 and 15 seasons respectively. Which is why NCIS Season 14 has decided to bring in new versatile characters who can actually bolster the series' position in terms of rating, which dwindled following Michael Weatherly's exit.
