NCIS has officially reached a milestone only a handful of TV dramas ever achieve: 500 episodes. ET was on set on December 3, 2025, capturing the cast as they filmed the landmark installment — set to premiere this spring — and reflected on what 23 seasons of storytelling have meant to them and to fans around the world.
The atmosphere was celebratory as longtime stars and newer cast members came together to honor the show’s legacy, its enduring fan base, and the teamwork that has kept NCIS at the top of primetime television for over two decades.
Catch new episodes of NCIS every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount+.
