Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Nick Torres on "NCIS," spoke with Entertainment Tonight about Season 21, which premieres on CBS on February 12, 2024.

He confirmed it'll consist of 10 episodes, but there will also be something different about these episodes compared to previous seasons.

He said, "We've decided to have a little bit more fun with the new generation of streaming content and really have our show feel like something you have to watch all 10 together."

Valderrama continued by saying that he thinks "it's time for producers to evolve [with] the future of content and how it's being consumed."

While Season 21 may have only half as many episodes as it usually does, it sounds like it’s going to be a season to remember no matter what.
