Order a cake! CBS has renewed the NCIS TV series for a 20th anniversary season which will airs as part of the 2022-23 broadcast television season. The 19th season continues to air on Monday nights and will finish on May 23rd.
A procedural drama, the NCIS TV show stars Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, Brian Dietzen, Diona Reasonover, and Katrina Law, with David McCallum, Rocky Carroll, and Gary Cole. In the series, NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, leads a highly skilled and colorful group of professionals. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Murray), an MIT graduate with a knack for computers who is now a Senior Field Agent; NCIS Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres (Valderrama), who frequently goes undercover; and NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight (Law), a formidable REACT agent who specializes in hostage negotiations high-risk operations. Assisting the team as the NCIS Historian is retired medical examiner Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (McCallum); Ducky’s protégé, the naïve Jimmy Palmer (Dietzen), who graduated to fully licensed medical examiner; and Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines (Reasonover), Ducky’s former graduate assistant. Overseeing operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance (Carroll), a highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. Also joining the fold is Special Agent Alden Parker (Cole), a quirky, seasoned FBI agent who solves his cases with calm professionalism and sharp, sarcastic charm. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.
The 19th season of NCIS averages a 0.59 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.43 million viewers. Compared to season 18, that’s down by 27% in the demo and down by 22% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). In the live+7 day ratings, the series averages a 0.96 in the demo with 11.22 million, picking up 63% and 51%, respectively.
Today, CBS also renewed NCIS: Los Angeles (season 14) and NCIS: Hawaii (season two) for the 2022-23 season.
“NCIS, one of the most popular and enduring series in the world, and fan-favorite NCIS: Los Angeles have been hugely successful on the CBS schedule for years,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “With the strong new addition of NCIS: Hawai’i, we are able to expand the strength of this formidable franchise across our schedule. We couldn’t be more excited to have all three talented casts and creative teams back to bring more compelling NCIS stories to viewers in the U.S. and around the globe.”
What do you think? Are you still watching the NCIS TV show on CBS? Are you glad to hear that it’s been renewed for a 20th season?
So glad no is is renewed!! My favorite tv show ever!! So sad Gibbs is gone but I really like Gary Cole better than I was expecting!!!
Very happy it was renewed. Watched it when I had cable. now streaming with Pramount+. Love the new cast too. So glad CBS stepped out of their comfort zone after Mark Harmon retired. I truly hope you are counting the ones who stream as part of the ratings. More people than ever are getting rid of cable and streaming only.
Have enjoyed the entire NCIS group of shows for years. I like the ensemble casts and the way the writers keep up with news events in the storylines. It reflects the current culture better than most shows. The bad guys lose; the good guys win despite obstacles. This kind of storytelling is why people still read mysteries.
Completely done with the NCIS programs! Been on a downward trajectory for a long time and the retirement of Gibbs was simply the final straw! Always saddened when a series isn’t aware that is has passed its prime and is just going to fade away. NCIS Hawaii is one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen and am stunned they would cancel NCIS:NO but think this new entry is worth showing! And poor NCIS:LA becomes closer to a prime time soap opera every season instead of a police procedural. Just makes me sad to see shows that had great years… Read more »
I am loving season 19. As a diehard Mark Harmon fan I felt it was time for the Gibbs character to find some peace. I love the season 19 cast, exploring the new character and expanding the old without Gibbs overshadowing them.
Yay for a season 20.
Don’t watch season 19 so season 20 is a no go sorry guys but not for me but I understand why Mark had to leave thanks for the memories
Very glad to hear that NCIS Los Angelos is renewed. One of my favorite shows. Miss Hetty, hope all is well with her.
Miss Hetty retirement actress good run with her. Need to keep original cast back on between two shows getting annoying to me.
I still miss Gibbs.
So glad to hear it’s renewed. I have watched it from the beginning of the series. Loved Gibbs and getting to know the new characters and like them too. Was so sad to hear NCIS-New Orleans was cancelled. Bring it back too!
If the network was think straight they would have kept NCIS New Orleans – could have run the night with NCIS – NCIS NEW ORLEANS – NCIS HAWAII – just like with the FBI series — btw, you can keep or toss NCIS LA, don’t like it, don’t watch it (can’t quite put my finger on what it is but…. nope, no go here) – if FBI can do it, Law & Order can do it, then bring back NCIS NEW ORLEANS —- get the popcorn out and make a night of it!
Love all the shows. LA, Hawaii but just wondering what happened to New Orleans?
New Orleans got cancelled too much cov19 talking getting annoying with this show. Such a great show compared Hawaii awful should automatically get rid.
Watched from the very first show. With all the changes, and especially Mark Harmon it is still a good show
Glad to see them all renewed. Love all of the shows and have watched them all religiously.
Glad the series is renewed, like all the actors and they express good thoughts and actions.
Good news look forward to seeing it every Monday night drama glad change time and day . Love this show and enjoy it.
