CBS won’t be back to The Big Easy for the 2021-22 television season. The network has decided to cancel the NCIS: New Orleans TV series and end it with the current seventh year.
NCIS: New Orleans stars Scott Bakula, Vanessa Ferlito, Necar Zadegan, Charles Michael Davis, Rob Kerkovich, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, and CCH Pounder. Set in The Big Easy, the series revolves around a local NCIS field office that investigates criminal cases involving military personnel. Special Agent Dwayne “King” Pride (Bakula) is a New Orleans native, is driven to do what’s right, and leads the office. Pride’s team, inside and out of the office, includes tough and acerbic Special Agent Tammy Gregorio (Ferlito); Forensic Agent Sebastian Lund (Kerkovich); anti-social Special Agent Quentin Carter (Davis); Jefferson Parish Coroner Doctor Loretta Wade (Pounder), Investigative Computer Specialist Patton Plame (Mitchell); and international counter-intelligence expert Special Agent Hannah Khoury (Zadegan).
Airing on Sunday nights, the seventh season of NCIS: New Orleans averages a 0.51 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.84 million viewers. Compared to season six, that’s down by 22% in the demo and down by 24% in viewership. Eight episodes have aired thus far.
Of the series coming to a close, Deadline reports that Bakula said, “Sad to end our love affair with this phenomenal city but so grateful for all the friends we made along the way… I will miss the music. Big thank you to CBS for seven years.”
“It has been our sincere pleasure and honor to work on this show and with this incredible cast and crew for over 150 episodes,” said executive producers and showrunners Jan Nash and Christopher Silber. “As disappointed as we are to see NOLA end, we couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done and are grateful to the spectacular and resilient Crescent City that embraced us for seven wonderful years.”
It was also announced today that CBS’ Mom sitcom is also ending this season. It’s also been reported that the network is considering a new NCIS spin-off set in Hawaii.
What do you think? Do you like the NCIS: New Orleans TV series? Are you disappointed that it’s been cancelled and wasn’t renewed for an eighth season?
Love this show! You can’t beat the cast or the New Orleans location. Why can’t it get a better time slot?
My favorite NCIS series. Sad to see it end.
I love NCIS New Orleans, Pride is the only copies seen on TV that gets beat up (LOL). I am glad they show the reruns on other channels.
I am going to miss the show.
Sorry to hear this this is a Show it’s going to be missed they are reconsider
I love this Show. This is so wrong.
Liked this one better than LA, stopped watching LA… guess Hawaii would be fun as someone that used to live there and was military… but it would be like Hawaii 5-0 somewhat just with a different tone. I always wanted an Atlanta spinoff of CSI, too inland for NCIS, but maybe Savannah instead then since they have a naval base down in that area…. something different than the same few cities…
heart broken
Keep NCIS New Orleans good show
why CXL NCSI New Orleans???? the music, story line is awesome! for once a show with great music and diverse Artist. please reconsider…
Yes, that stinks, every show that I really enjoy always gets canceled. Love this show and it’s cast

I would continue to watch New Orleans…will not watch Hawaii. I already have a Hawaii show…Magnum, PI
One of my favorite shows please reconsider Keep NCIS New Orleans on So Disappointing
This is a great show and its not a cartoon which it seems like that is all that is on TV. It is a lot better show then NCIS Los Angeles. Not all of us like the Mask Singer or The Bachelor. It is fun trying to see if we can figure out who did it before the come up with who it was. Why is it you always do away with the good shows and keep the shows for the young people.
of all of the NCIS shows New Orleans is the mos Fun and my having Brother who served in the Naval Armed Forces can relate . The Crew is magnificient as well and finding out about the Culture of New Orleans helped to cope durign the time of COVID 19. Really , love it with the forensics and non threatening drama, should maybe have not switched the time or night. Its really a fantastic show please reconsider cancellation. I use to watch all of the reruns and late nights if I missed a earlier time PST. Please reconsider~~`
I love love this show and will miss it very much. I like everything about it. It is one of the best shows on tv.
