NCIS: New Orleans has been cancelled by CBS after seven seasons, and star Scott Bakula recently spoke about finishing the series and leaving New Orleans behind.
The cast and crew were not expecting CBS to cancel the show and were informed in February, as they were filming episode 13. “It was painful,” said executive producer Jan Nash, “but it was a blessing to have enough time to make adjustments and a finale that feels very true to New Orleans.”
Bakula said the following about the finale of NCIS: New Orleans and filming it during the pandemic, per TV Insider:
“The last episode of a seven-year series has all kinds of light shining on it. People gave speeches, bumped elbows. They had their masks on. It was bittersweet: We shot 16 episodes and are proud of the season, but it was goodbye — and from a distance.”
Vanessa Ferlito, Necar Zadegan, Charles Michael Davis, Rob Kerkovich, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, and CCH Pounder also star in this CBS procedural drama. The series finale is set to air on May 23rd.
What do you think? Are you a fan of NCIS: New Orleans? Are you planning to watch the finale on CBS later this month?
Very sad to see it go. I looked forward every week to visit my favorite place on earth. All the characters; nothing but the best on your new journey.
I can’t believe they cancelled this show along with mom. Guess I’ll start watching another network or cable show to find new things to watch. Also good bye to CBS news !
Best series ever. I love NOLA. All the cast and stories have been great, and they bring you back. I was truly sad to hear they were taking it off
Please Nooo, bring them back….change your mind.I DVR it every week so I can sit down over the weekend and watch it. It’s a great show. I love the actors and the storylines always keep me on my toes. I’m sick to my stomach you canceled NCIS: New Orleans!! Please dont cancel such a great show!!!!!
Used to enjoy the show but have found the last few episodes quite disappointing. Not sure if it’s because they’re wrapping up but storyline is straight out of CSI Miami season six. Desperate times call for desperate measures, the son no one knew about!!!!!!
NOOOOOO!!! Love the show, the characters & the scenery. What was CBS thinking? This loyal fan is disappointed. ☹
One of my favorite shows I work,so I DVR IT. I AM REALLY BUMMED
This is a favorite weekly series and now you cancel it. That sucks.
This is my favorite tv show. Been a fan since day one. My children got to meet Scott Bakula in the French Quarter. So canceling this episode would be hard for New Orleans. Love my city….
I hate they have canceled one of my favorite TV shows. I have watched it from the beginning. It would have been better to cancel something else!
I love this show. Actually like all 3 but NO is my favorite. They are fools to cancel.
No surprise to me. To many complications with the fling w/ bad woman & then attempting to normalize the family dynamics.
I am very upset about the cancellation of NCIS: NEW ORLEANS! I Love the show and the stars – especially SCOTT BAKULA & The Remarkable CCH POUNDER! The one that should be GONE is the Original NCIS! I AMJULIE TIRED OF WEATHERLY – HIS SILLY CHARACTER & AND THAT SLAPPING UP SIDE THE HEAD! The only thing good on that tiresome show is “DUCKY” & “ABBY” & the opening music! The GOOD shows are always cancelled & the tired, old foolish shows just stay around boring people. Some people on CBS just do not recognize quality or when it has… Read more »
