NCIS Renewed for Season 22; Fate of NCIS: Hawai’i Remains TBD

Fans of CBS’ well-watched NCIS franchise now have at least two returning series to count on during the 2024-25 TV season, with the announcement that the mothership has been renewed for Season 22.

NCIS‘ renewal comes three weeks after the franchise’s first International offshoot, the Australia-based NCIS: Sydney, was renewed for Season 2. A decision has not yet been announced regarding NCIS: Hawai’i, which is more than halfway through airing its third season.

The NCIS pick-up also arrives ahead of the franchise airing its 1,000th total episode, on Monday, April 15 at 9/8c, and very much on the heels of CBS’ renewing all three of its FBI programs.

Season-to-date, NCIS is averaging 9.71 million total viewers (with Live+7 playback), veritably matching its Season 19 audience. It also currently stands as TV’s second-most watched entertainment program, trailing only CBS’ own Tracker (which enjoyed an NFL-boosted kickoff).

“The Neighborhood” — which was also renewed on Tuesday afternoon — “and NCIS are the very best definition of a CBS comedy and drama,” CBS Entertainment chief Amy Reisenbach said in a statement. “They embody authentic storytelling with heart, humor, and family dynamics. We are proud to bring them back next season.”

NCIS has been a Top 20 series (in total audience) for 18 of its 20 full seasons, and has been television’s most-watched broadcast drama for the last five complete TV seasons (and 13 of the last 14).

Regardless of NCIS: Hawai’i‘s ultimate fate, the NCIS franchise is poised to only get bigger, with not one but two new spinoffs ordered to series: NCIS: Origins aka the Young Gibbs prequel series (starring Austin Stowell), and a yet-to-be-titled offshoot following Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David (played by NCIS vets Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo) on the run in Europe.
