Ryan O'Rourke is a Senior News Writer at Collider with a specific interest in all things adult animation, video game adaptations, and the work of Mike Flanagan. He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided's CubbiesCrib. Whether it's taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what's going on. Outside of entertainment, he's a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor's in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

NCIS officially crossed 500 episodes earlier this year, and so far, there are no signs that the procedural will be slowing down anytime soon. As one of CBS' most consistent franchises, the decision was made earlier this year to renew the mothership series for its 24th season and lock up both spin-offs, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney, for Season 3 and Season 4, respectively. Fan-favorites have come and gone over the years, and other off-shoots, like NCIS: Los Angeles, have come and gone, but the series is built to last and continue evolving to keep audiences satisfied. One particularly beloved character, LL COOL J's agent Sam Hanna, is even set to rejoin the family in a more permanent capacity with the premiere of the new NCIS: New York this fall.
