NCIS fans are eagerly waiting for Season 21 and are excited to see what's in store for team leader Alden Parker, played by Gary Cole. In Season 20, Parker was framed for murder but proved his innocence with the help of the team and the NCIS: Hawaii unit. Throughout the season, Parker had various wild cases, dealt with his strained relationship with his father, had a romance with a senator, and worked through his guilt over accidentally shooting his old partner.

Season 21 could show Parker moving forward, possibly reuniting with the senator or even reconnecting with his ex-wife, Vivian. Fans have embraced Parker as a replacement for Gibbs and hope to see him continue to be a top agent for the team while finding a fresher start in his own life.
