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?
I enjoy this show please don’t cancel it.
Please don’t cancel NCIS NOLA please it an awesome show
Please DON’T take NCIS New Orleans off the air!!
Please DON’T take NCIS off the air.. I Love watching the show….Why do you always take the good show’s off the air? ???
I recently discovered this show & am enjoying catching up on all the old episodes while watching season 7. I love Scott Bakula ( always have) & hate to see this show get canceled. I think the viewership is down because CBS put it in a crummy time slot. Move it back to a week night & the numbers should go up. DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!
I like NO series & hate to see it go.
The show has great actors, is funny, and serious in a good way, without insulting anything. It’s like Quantum Leap all over again.
Oh! NO, what a shame, it is far, far better than NCIS LA, stupid people that get these ideas to cancel such great shows, have a rethink and renew more seasons,
Can’t believe this great show is cancelled !! If it’s down 22%, it’s the writers and producer that should be cancelled, not the show!
Love the show. So sad. Cancel NCIS LA instead. That one is too far out there.
NO I love my LA crew
I’m sad to hear the NCIS: New Orleans is ending. I love this show and the Original NCIS. It’s one of the best shows on television.
Hate to see it go!!! Love this show. Don’t understand why they have to cancel such a great show.
They get a great show and then cancel b it. Par for the course. Let’s just watch stupid reality shows!!!!
NCIS New Orleans – Renew !!!
Oh No. Don’t Cancel it!!
My wife and I watch NCIS Nola all the time

I agree with you that NCIS New orleans was the best and I’m not saying that because I live in Louisiana I used to live in new Orleans that’s where I was born and raised let’s make a petition to keep it on the air.move it back to Tuesday nights like it was before maybe we can get Back on or Fox or NBC or ABC even TNT to pick up the NCIS series including the original NCIS and NCIS New Orleans please do your part and keep the good show’s on the air and get rid of the garbage… Read more »
Yes, please keep this great show on the air. Love the show, music, humor, city, cast and empathy they show for each other. I hope they would have put more of this in the last few shows. They were hindered by the time slot, pandemic and cast changes that did not seem to be confluent with the camaraderie of the group.
