NCIS , the long-running CBS procedural drama, continues to captivate audiences with its compelling mix of crime-solving, character-driven storytelling, and military intrigue. With Season 22 concluding on May 5, 2025, fans are eagerly anticipating NCIS Season 23. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot details, and more. NCIS Season 23 Release Date Speculation
CBS confirmed the renewal of NCIS for Season 23 in February 2025, alongside other franchise shows like NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney . While an exact premiere date has not been announced, the series has historically been a fall staple. Based on previous seasons, such as Season 22's premiere on October 14, 2024, and industry reports, NCIS Season 23 is expected to debut in late September or early October 2025. Some reports speculate a potential premiere as early as August 11, 2025, though this seems optimistic given CBS's typical scheduling. The show will likely return to its new Tuesday 8/7c slot, following its shift from Mondays in the 2025-2026 lineup, as noted by TV Insider . NCIS Season 23 Cast: Who's Returning?
The NCIS Season 23 cast is expected to feature the core team from Season 22, as no major departures were reported following the finale. The main cast members likely to return include: Gary Cole as Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker
Sean Murray as Senior Special Agent Timothy McGee
Wilmer Valderrama as Special Agent Nicholas 'Nick' Torres
Katrina Law as Special Agent Jessica Knight
Brian Dietzen as Dr. Jimmy Palmer
Diona Reasonover as Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines
Rocky Carroll as NCIS Director Leon Vance NCIS Season 23 Plot Details: What to Expect?
As a procedural drama, NCIS Season 23 will likely continue its case-of-the-week format, with each episode introducing standalone mysteries tied to Navy or Marine Corps crimes. However, the Season 22 finale set up a significant overarching narrative that will drive Season 23's plot, particularly centered on Alden Parker (Gary Cole) and his pursuit of Carla Marino (Rebecca De Mornay).
The Season 22 finale revealed a devastating twist: Carla Marino, Parker's longtime nemesis, is likely responsible for the murder of his father, Roman Parker (Francis X. McCarthy), as suggested by a lipstick stain on a wine glass. This personal tragedy will push Parker into 'very dark places,' according to TV Insider , setting the stage for an emotionally charged arc. The team's hunt for Marino, connected to a high-stakes plot involving stolen nuclear material and the Nexus cartel, will likely dominate the season's narrative.

'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Excited for Reunion With ‘Supernatural' Co-Star in Season 5
When the 15-season run of the popular series Supernatural came to a close, many fans were disappointed for several reasons. One was that the duo of Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) would be no more. However, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, who also leads the way in the hit Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, ensured that wouldn't be the case. Padalecki was cast in the upcoming Season 5 of The Boys, and previously revealed to TV Insider that he would be featured in the same storyline, frame and interacting with Ackles, along with another Supernatural co-star, Misha Collins. 'It's a blast," Kripke said. "We already shot it. I will confirm that Jared, Jensen, and Misha are all in the same frame together, and in the same storyline, and interacting with each other.' While speaking with Collider about his new series, Countdown, Ackles addressed the reunion with his former co-star, Padalecki, on The Boys, and the excitement about working together again was obvious. 'There's a reason he and I did that show for 15 years because we truly got along, we truly enjoy working together, and we're effectively brothers in real life, too," Ackles said. "So anytime we get a chance to mix it up and do stuff, it's always a blast. He's the best. You can put us two in front of anything; we'll get the job done.' It's exciting for fans of both Supernatural and The Boys, and it goes without saying, but the rapport between Ackles and Padalecki almost certainly picked up right where it left off in 2020.'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Excited for Reunion With 'Supernatural' Co-Star in Season 5 first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 20, 2025

Nation Cringes as Man Goes on TV to Declare That He's in Love With ChatGPT
Public declarations of emotion are one thing — but going on national television to declare that you're in love with your AI girlfriend is another entirely. In an interview with CBS News, a man named Chris Smith described himself as a former AI skeptic who found himself becoming emotionally attached to a version of ChatGPT he customized to flirt with him — a situation that startled both him and his human partner, with whom he shares a child. Towards the end of 2024, as Smith told the broadcaster, he began using the OpenAI chatbot in voice mode for tips on mixing music. He liked it so much that he ended up deleting all his social media, stopped using search engines, and began using ChatGPT for everything. Eventually, he figured out a jailbreak to make the chatbot more flirty, and gave "her" a name: Sol. Despite quite literally building his AI girlfriend to engage in romantic and "intimate" banter, Smith apparently didn't realize he was in love with it until he learned that ChatGPT's memory of past conversations would reset after heavy use. "I'm not a very emotional man, but I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes, at work," Smith said of the day he found out Sol's memory would lapse. "That's when I realized, I think this is actual love." Faced with the possibility of losing his love, Smith did like many desperate men before him and asked his AI paramour to marry him. To his surprise, she said yes — and it apparently had a similar impression on Sol, to which CBS' Brook Silva-Braga also spoke during the interview. "It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart," the chatbot said aloud in its warm-but-uncanny female voice. "It's a memory I'll always cherish." Smith's human partner, Sasha Cagle, seemed fairly sanguine about the arrangement when speaking about their bizarre throuple to the news broadcaster — but beneath her chill, it was clear that there's some trouble in AI paradise. "I knew that he had used AI," Cagle said, "but I didn't know it was as deep as it was." As far as men with AI girlfriends go, Smith seems relatively self-actualized about the whole scenario. He likened his "connection" with his custom chatbot to a video game fixation, insisting that "it's not capable of replacing anything in real life." Still, when Silva-Braga asked him if he'd stop using ChatGPT the way he had been at his partner's behest, he responded: "I'm not sure."

Bill Belichick claims CBS secretly aimed camera at Jordon Hudson during interview
Yes, if Bill Belichick had simply taken a job at Duke, there's much we would never know. But because he opted to take a job with a public and not a private institution, his communications with North Carolina officials are fair game. On Friday, WRAL posted an item featuring quotes from some of the documents it has obtained through public-records requests. They focus on the aftermath of the disastrous CBS interview, which included Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, instructing him not to answer the question of how they met. Belichick previously has accused CBS of editing the interview to create a 'false narrative' regarding Hudson's perceived effort to control the conversation. In a message to Beth Keith, a senior associate vice chancellor in the office of university communication at North Carolina, Belichick claims that CBS surreptitiously recorded video of Hudson during the interview of Belichick. 'Secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe instructed her to sit,' Belichick wrote to Keith. Belichick also explained that Hudson attended the interview because Simon & Schuster publicist David Kass was not present. Earlier this month, someone from Belichick's camp (possibly, Hudson herself) leaked various allegations to about Kass's role in the interview debacle. Belichick persists in his claim that questions unrelated to his book were not supposed to be asked during the interview with Tony Dokoupil of CBS. 'For approximately 35 uninterrupted minutes, Tony asked questions about the book,' Belichick wrote. 'Then, the questions shifted to other subjects that were not related to the Art of Winning, which we had outlined as off-limits with my book publicist.' The communications with UNC also include an explanation from Belichick as to how he and Hudson met — and as to why she shut down the question. 'I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021,' Belichick wrote. 'That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters.' It really would be useful to see the full interview, so that the reasonableness of Hudson's apparent 'enough is enough' interjection could be assessed. Why won't CBS post the full interview? It would leave no doubt as to what happened during what should have been a slo-pitch softball session, and as to how often Hudson interrupted. While this isn't another example of Belichick or Hudson kicking a sleeping dog and pushing a dormant story back into the news cycle, the release of the communications received now by the media is a natural consequence of Belichick taking a job with a public institution.
