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?
Glad to see it go! With all the character changes the last couple of years, it’s gone downhill!
No I’m not sorry to see the series come to an end! We’ve watched the show since the beginning . We watch to be entertained & not to give us lessons on racial Inequality!.
I
Please keep this series on the air.
Keep NCIS New Orleans ! Dropping one to start another doesn’t make any sense.
I don’t want NCIS New Orleans canceled!!! NCIS, & NCIS New Orleans were my favorites. I liked watching them better than NCIS LA! I will not watch NCIS Hawaii, so don’t even think about starting a show in Hawaii, unless you keep NCIS New Orleans going for an 8th season.
No dont cancel nola I love that show. And I will not watch ncis Hawaii.
. Noka is one of my favorite show. Bring it back
We needed to see more of Scott Bakula, Not the nerd playing a tough guy !!!
Sad to see the regulars leave.
I agree with Joseph p Doyle. Cancel NCISLA. Keep NCISNO. Think it’s a lot better. Reconsider you choice.
I THINK IT SUCKS – NOLA IS THE BEST OF ALL THE NCIS SERIES. PLEASE RECONSIDER.
Please don’t cancel. Only show I watch.But it was better when Lucas Black was on it. The new guy is a stuffed shirt.
I wasn’t crazy about the new guy at first either but now that he is lightening up and becoming part of the team I like him a lot!
I cannot believe NCIS New Orleans is being canceled! We’ve been watching since day one and relate to this series more than the Cali series! It was a shocker to lose Country Mouse and City Mouse, but we managed!!! Living in SETX we understood more of the NOLA lifestyle! NCIS New Orleans WILL BE MISSED TERRIBLY
Sad to see NCIS New Orleans canceled. One of my favorites.
Oh…
If they were going to end an NCIS series with the prospect of a new one, I’m surprised they didn’t go with NCIS LA. At least that one’s been around a lot longer. The NOLA spinoff at least had personality.
Personally would have rather seen NCIS Los Angeles canceled their story lines have become ridiculous
I love this show I love the people in the show Pride is such a great Character why would you cancel such a great show.
