The CBS network needs newer drama series and, though it’s been around for a while, NCIS: New Orleans is the newest entry in the NCIS franchise. Does its age guarantee that this show will be renewed for an eighth season or, could this Sunday night series still be cancelled if the ratings drop low enough? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
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).

*2/18/21 update: NCIS: New Orleans has been cancelled by CBS so there won’t be an eighth season.
When`s the REUNION ?
This cancellation makes little sense. It’s been relatively steady all season and really only a point off from it’s lead-in, NCIS: LA, which was renewed. Unless it’s not able to turn a profit from syndication, I don’t understand the logic. Although I enjoy all three, New Orleans was unique and stood out from it’s sister shows. Going to miss it.
Agree completely worth watching it every Sunday late night so good enjoy it. Never missed any of it.
Goodbye ncis New Orleans tonight series finale so good wort watching look forward every Sunday late night enjoy it and love it. Look forward NCIS Hawaii hopefully it’s good don’t get be female cast ridiculous stupid idea tired stupid shows.
Very unhappy that NCIS New Orleans is canceled. The other NCIS shows have gotten predictable. New Orleans is up beat.
Totally unhappy about the cancellation! Love the New Orleans setting, makes show so different from NY, DC, LA and Chicago as big city settings! Much more interesting local color! Love the coastal themes rather than inside of city being the only locale for story lines. In a word, more interesting all the way around. Don’t get the “too political” comments!
I don’t know what’s wrong with you people I think the show should stay on the air COVID-19 is got people thinking it’s stupid ♀️
I really love and like this show since the begining and I wish they reconsidera the cancellation
They lost me forever. To much political talk to little drama. Not what I’m looking for in entertainment and relaxation.
Totally agree. Has become way too political.
I think the ratings are not accurate. I even called my local CBS station to find out why my favorite show is not showing. I was told Football is running over which is pushing all shows behind. I even tried recording it but that didn’t work either. The station said NCIS LA shows in its entirety because of its ratings and when only 15 minutes left in your area they show that amount of time but at 10:00 pm instead of showing the rest New Orleans new episodes it switches and shows reruns of NCIS. I own the whole series… Read more »
Agreed with you stupid idea hate it.
NCIS New Orleans is a great show however this year is bad, we are living through coronavirus we dont need to watch how bad it is, stop making episodes and start again when things are better
Please keep continue such great show need more ratings start off weak stupid covid19 year.
This show wouldn’t have been renewed if COVID had not happened. The premier gave me flashbacks of March. I watch tv for escapisim.
Worst, Season premeire ever. This season better drop the virus talk soon, or there might be a lot of departing fans.
Not understanding it but these coronavirus in mix all of some shows. Don’t like strange lived though this right now.
