NCIS season 18 is officially happening on CBS and many were delighted with the news. There are a lot of things to look forward to, as well as stories worth-exploring within the series. Some characters' stories also proved to be interesting, including Wilmer Valderrama's Nick Torres.
Valderrama's Torres is one of the significant characters in the series. He brings humor, action, as well as romantic charm with Emily Wickersham's Ellie Bishop. He still has a lot of stories to tell in the NCIS season 18, and it's exciting to see what has been stored from him this time.
The upcoming installment may further explore Torres' relationship with Bishop. It's apparent they have feelings for each other and this could lead to something more moving forward. While they may not immediately be together, their bond could develop into something more romantic.
Aside from the potential relationship between Torres and Bishop, NCIS season 18 may also explore the relationship between Gibbs and Torres. The former is evolving, while the latter is becoming more of a team player. Since they now have more in common than before, this could build up a personal bond.
NCIS season 18 might also tell a story about Torres' sister, who hasn't been mentioned since she first appeared in season 14. Perhaps, the two lost communication and disconnected due to Torres' undercover missions. Yet, getting an update on her might be essential to learn more about his past.
More undercover missions are likely coming for Torres, as well. This is his specialty, and since the character is evolving, it would be nice seeing him dealing with other stuff. Perhaps, he'll be going on an undercover mission where he could showcase his other skills.
Meanwhile, CBS has just recently confirmed the renewal of NCIS season 18 and many were happy with the news, including cast members Sean Murray (McGee) and Brian Dietzen (Palmer). The two have been part of the series and it seems like their characters are ready to go back for more actions in the future.
The renewal announcement isn't also a surprise, given that the Mark Harmon-led series is one of the most popular shows on CBS. But while we're certain about the future, its arrival remains uncertain at the moment due to the current global health crisis.
The cast and crew members may not be able to return filming because of the COVID-19 pandemic, thus the delay. Usually, they start filming in the summer and then release the new season in the fall. But there could be a potential delay as everything depends on the current situation.
