Instead, Holtz is reportedly only guest-starring in NCIS season 18 – not signing on as Bello’s replacement.
According to TV Line’s Matt Webb Mitovich, when asked if it was true that Holtz was stepping into Bello’s shoes, he said: “Ha, that’s a big ol’ FALSE.
“Rather, Zane Holtz is simply guest-starring as Special Agent Dale Sawyer in an upcoming episode where the team has to ‘play nice and work with other agents.’”
This was backed up by the show’s co-showrunner Steve Binder who told the publication bosses “didn’t feel the need” to fill the void left by Sloane as soon as she leaves.
