Teri Polo will make her first appearance in the season 19 finale of NCIS, which is scheduled to air on May 23 in the United States, and will return on a recurring basis in season 20 recently ordered by the American network CBS.
If no information has yet filtered on the plot of this final seasoneverything suggests that the past of agent Alden Parker will be centrally addressed in this end-of-season episode and will play a role in the investigation that the heroes of the series will have to solve.
Gary Cole joined the NCIS adventure during the second episode of season 19, in order to fill the void left by the departure of Mark Harmon, who bade farewell to Gibbs two episodes later. He thus became one of the stars of the hit series alongside Wilmer Valderrama, Sean Murray and even Katrina Law.
Teri Polo, meanwhile, played Stef Adams Foster for five seasons in the Freeform series The Fosters, which ended in 2018 and is available in France on Disney+. She has since continued to guest star on spin-off Good Trouble, which centers on her character’s two adopted daughters, Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez).
More recently, she held one of the main roles in the series The Big Leap, with Piper Perabo and Scott Foley, which is also available from us on Disney+. Unfortunately, this novelty telling the backstage of a reality TV show with a dance background did not find its audience and was canceled by the Fox channel last month, after only one short season.
In France, M6 already broadcasts season 19 of NCIS every Tuesday evening at 9:10 p.m., only a few months behind the United States. But we will certainly have to wait until next fall to discover the first steps of Teri Polo in the skin of Vivian Kolchak.
