Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with lower numbers than last season, it is unlikely that the show will slide from the Tiffany Network’s most-watched scripted series to some level that warrants cancellation. What’s more likely is that (eventually) the creative team will decide it is time to end the series, or parties will be unable to come to terms on money. While ratings may not directly influence the writers and/or actors decision to leave, the casts and crews of most successful series prefer to go out on top. For that reason, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on any NCIS cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Are glad that CBS renewed its NCIS TV series for a 16th season? How long do you think this TV show should run?
I have been recording NCIS every Tuesday night @ 8 pm on Global ch41! I have all season’s from 1 – 15 complete purchased from Walmart in Brampton. I have not been able to find it all during the last 2 weeks and it is not listed again tonight. Has it been cancelled or what?? NCIS-NO is another series changed dates. How can one follow favourate programs when the station keeps changing date and times???
Please update this site for 2019. Are they going to be on in 2019???
Yes. It aired last week.
Very happy it was renewed! Watched since the beginning.
I am looking forward to a new season of NCIS, It is my favourite show
Really glad it’s been renewed!! Love this show!
I Hope when they decide to end this great show, that they show how Gibbs got the boats out of the basement.
Gibbs explained how he got the boats out of his basement in one of his episodes with his Marine Col counterpart —- Nocked out the basement wall!!
I LOVE NCIS and have from the first season. Keep it going as long as Mark Harmon wants to do it. I’ve had some favorite characters but it is good to see Gibbs train and mold others as they join the team. The humor and complex stories are unsurpassed. Go Season 16 and beyond!
Please RENEW! This is one of the greatest shoes on TV. If it were to be cancelled it’s viewers would be crushed! One of the very few shows worth watching on TV these days. Most other shows pure garbage, but not NCIS!
This is meat and potatoes television for us viewers. As long as Harmon stays on you can continue to renew this show years after year, even with mediocre scripts your going to keep a decent viewing audience.
I love this show. I admit i miss Tony and Zeva and will definately miss abbs but hope the show goes on. I am worried for Mark Harmon who really does’nt look well! The palour of his skin and colour of his lips are more than just old age i think Unfortunately ? But i honestly think they are doing a great job. But if Mark goes i feel he is too bigger character to even contemplate trying to replace. Really hope all is well and wish there was a great twist bringing Zeva back and Tony with a play… Read more »
