CBS president reveals why they launched a new NCIS spinoff over ...
After announcing the surprise new spinoff NCIS: New York, the CBS president addressed the cancellation of the Paramount+ spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva.
hiddenremote.comHere’s a concise update on the NCIS: New York spinoff situation.
- What’s new: CBS announced NCIS: New York, a new spinoff led by LL Cool J returning as Sam Hanna, with the show positioned for the fall 2026 schedule. This marks a pivot to a New York-based iteration rather than reviving Tony & Ziva as a separate spinoff.
- Schedule context: The spinoff is slated to air on Tuesday nights, fitting between the flagship NCIS and NCIS: Origins, with NCIS: Sydney joining later in midseason.
- Fan reaction and franchise strategy: CBS framed the decision as leveraging LL Cool J’s connection to the network and exploring New York’s Navy presence as a fresh creative space, even as some fans had hoped for Tony & Ziva.
- Additional notes: NCIS: Sydney is still in development for 2026–27, and the network is integrating multiple NCIS strands to broaden the franchise footprint.
