T10 WHATS UP! September 18 - 24, 2022 In a PaleyFest interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Cole spoke about Parker becoming the new su- pervisory agent, saying, "I just look at it as another character; I don't think it's a substitution or anything like that. The way they had my character enter was, I think, very smart writ- ing because they had him in- volved with them first." When asked about the pros- pect of another 20 seasons of "NCIS," Cole had a good laugh before joking, "That would take some special writing now, wouldn't it? Ten years from now, let's see. I don't know who I'd be chasing, but they'd better not be very fast." If you're looking for a little sneak peek into the "NCIS" sea- son premiere, CBS released a breakdown for the new episode, titled "A Family Matter." Parker and his ex-wife, Vivian (Teri Polo, "Good Trouble"), are still evading a threatening figure known as "The Raven," and with Special Agent Tennant and technology specialist Malik in D.C. for training, the "NCIS" team enlists their Hawaiian counterparts to crack the case. In the "NCIS: Hawai'i" sea- son premiere that follows, the agents follow leads to Oahu and collect intelligence on The Raven's disastrous plans. In speaking to Entertain- ment Tonight this past May, Lachey expressed the relief and excitement that came with landing her dream gig as the "NCIS: Hawai'i" lead. "I'm in my 40s," Lachey not- ed, continuing, "I have worked my whole life doing what I love, and now it's come to a place where it gets to be what I love in a place I love — Ha- waii — with the people I love." Lachey went on to say that spending time with her family in the 50th state and getting to write her book "all just feels very surreal but like all the hard work has come to fruition." Fans of the franchise can also look ahead to an exciting new venture scheduled to make waves in 2023: "NCIS" wel- comes its first international spinoff. As announced earlier this year, "NCIS: Sydney" will feature an Australian cast and stories about agents chasing nautical threats Down Under. Don't miss the two-part crossover event when "NCIS" premieres its 20th season Monday, Sept. 19, on CBS, followed by the first epi- sode of "NCIS: Hawai'i" Sea- son 2. continued from page T2 Safe seas: Agents chase down naval crime in 'NCIS' crossover premiere TV FEATURE 5 x 5 Wilmer Valderrama, Vanessa Lachey, Jason Antoon, Brian Dietzen and Katrina Law in "NCIS"
