"Obviously, I want [the finale’s big reveal] to come to fruition and we work all that stuff out," he began, "but I also want to get into action sequences again. I want to get into some shoot-outs, car chases, some big-scale action things, because that’s what NCIS is known for."
Lasance's character, JD, faces a difficult situation, balancing his personal and professional responsibilities after his son’s abduction. Lasance expressed wanting to "explore the family dynamic side of things" in the next season.
"This is a dream series for me because I get to play with the comedy, with that cheeky 'ribbing each other' element, and also be the straight cop/leader, and then I get to go with the emotional element of the relationship with the son and my ex-wife and the breakdown of that relationship. The sky’s the limit for us," he adds.

The actor shared that he loved "where JD crosses the line between the badge and what’s right as far as law enforcement, and what it is to be a father and family man."
"What would you do? What would you sacrifice for the ones you love, whether it’s a brother, sister, son, daughter, best friend…? What would the lengths be that you’d go to, to protect them, to save them?" he contemplates.
"But every decision that JD makes — and a lot of things do cross the line — I personally would also have done, too."
NCIS airs on CBS in the US. Seasons 1-20 are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
