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?
Keep the show and get rid of the British guy, whatever his name name is, sorry buddy, but his part slows the show down.
NCIS should definitely be renewed for season 16 and longer. There are few shows on TV today that deserve watching. The language and viewing content are totally outrageous and most are not fit for family viewing! When you have shows that prove to be winners you should renew them and not cancel them!
Best show ever on tv.Should renew 16 17 18 19 and 20 right now
Please renew more seasons
I love that show so much
Don’t cancelled the show
Please
Love NCIS. I thought when Kate died it was bad but ziva surprised us all. I was crushed but intrigued when ziva left and the romance between she and tony was revealed. Later to have her die and force Tony into fatherhood. When Tony left i was positive noone could replace such a cast but McGee has stepped up and is a daddy! Great turn. Abby leaving is going to be rough but this show is so great i think since we have her blessing, it can still be a loved tv show! I’m loving the special guest stars, and… Read more »
yes I wish the show is renewed … wonderful story and great performance of all cast and the story keep you grounded… can’t wait every tuesday for the show…
I hope NCIS will be renewed for many
more seasons!!!
Love it and as long as Marc Harmon is Gibbs will eagerly watch. Rkp
Just like in China NCIS should be declared on Tuesday forever.
Please renew for season 16 this is the Best show ever.
We enjoy NCIS and would be very disappointed if this show was cancelled.
I really wish Ziva was still on the series, her and Kate were the best Agents and they where compatible with the other cast members.
I love NCIS even thur some of the actors have left. They seem to find actors who replace them. I really want them to renew the show. I hate to see old actors leave like Abby but if she not happy I hope to see her in another show. I feel she is priceless.
I’ve watched NCIS for a few years I fell in love with the character, Jenny Shepard who Lauren Holly played from 2003 – 2008, since seeing her performance on this show, she has become my favorite actress ever. I wish she hadn’t left but I respect why she did she deserved all the best for her and her family.
Definitely Renew, CBS needs to pull their heads out of their collective a___s and figure out how to keep Paulie Perretti on the show, without her rating will definitly tumble. Paulie is more the face of the show than is Mark Hamon who has always been a one note actor.
Cancel actors have lost their enthusiasm and quite frankly very boring need a new show close to same plots.
I totally agree with you this show has gotten flat ever since Michael Weatherly left same old boring plots I find it very painful to watch and now that Abby has left there’s no enthusiasm and I also think that there’s way too many characters oh please someone at at CBS put this show out of its misery and cancel it after season 16
