Sean Murray Returning to NCIS; Cast Fully Intact
After a protracted negotiation period in which the status of several key actors was unclear, the final holdout has re-signed, keeping the NCIS cast wholly intact for years to come.
According to TV Guide, Sean Murray has signed a new contract for the upcoming eighth season of the hit CBS procedural, which ranked as TV's top scripted drama in 2009-2010.
Many of the actors all hit free agency recently and Murray, who plays Special Agent Timothy McGee, was the last remaining series regular without a new contract for Season 8.
McGee and all his cohorts will be back this fall.
David McCallum, Rocky Carroll, Pauley Perrette and Michael Weatherly all agreed to terms this spring, while Mark Harmon and Cote de Pablo already had long-term deals in place.
As big fans of the show, we're happy that the cast and its terrific chemistry will not be altered. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, all of which are pretty awesome.

Hate when tv shows change up characters, with that being said I really hope they don't change up any of the characters for a really long time. Who I would like to see more of, is the coast guard CIS agent and kate's sister.

I live in the UK and I love NCIS especially Tim Mcgee. I can't wait for season 9 to start over here. I just wish Tim would get a girlfriend and he would put DiNozzo in his place once in a while. I'm glad the whole team is coming back.

I had heard that NCIS was not returning to the airways. Is it staying on the air or is it soon to go away? I agree with other comments that it is one of the few shows worth watching.
