Ducky Mallard’s Death Will Be Addressed in Season 21 of NCIS.
NCIS Season 21 will address the death of beloved character Ducky Mallard, confirm co-showrunners Steven D. Binder and David North.
The show will not resort to off-screen explanations for his absence but will instead have the team mourn his loss in an emotional episode.
Ducky’s meticulous nature will shine through as he solves one last cr1me with the team posthumously. Speculation about cameos from original cast members like Leroy Gibbs and Abbey Sciuto remains unanswered.

Fans, on the other hand, have been assured that they will want to be seated for some major emotional moments. “There will also be a very touching and special moment you won’t want to miss,” they teased, which is sure to tug at any NCIS fan’s heartstrings.
Steven D. Binder and David North have spoken about McCallum twice since his d3ath in September. They issued a joint statement praising the actor for his generosity toward his co-stars and the distinct presence he brought to the set every day.
“As much as his fans adored him, those who worked alongside David adored him even more,” they wrote. “It was an honor to work with him from the start, and he never let us down.” He was, simply put, a legend.
We’d have to agree, and we’re glad McCallum will be remembered properly.
