What’s in store for NCIS: New Orleans? Recently, CBS announced TNT has acquired the syndication rights to the popular TV show.
A spin-off of NCIS, the procedural drama centers on Special Agent Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) and his team at the local field office in New Orleans. Together, they investigate criminal cases involving military personnel. The cast also includes CCH Pounder, Daryl Chill Mitchell, Lucas Black, Rob Kerkovich, Shalita Grant, and Vanessa Ferlito.

NCIS: NEW ORLEANS focuses on the local Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) field office that inquires into cases involving military personnel in The Big Easy, a city known for its music, entertainment and decadence. Leading the team is Special Agent Dwayne Pride, a.k.a. “King” (Bakula), a native of New Orleans who is driven by his need to do what is right. This colorful city harbors a dark side and is a magnet for service personnel on leave. But when overindulgence is followed by trouble, Pride’s team is at its best.
NCIS: NEW ORLEANS is produced by CBS Television Studios and executive produced by Brad Kern, James Hayman, Christopher Silber and Mark Harmon. The series was created by Gary Glasberg.”
