CBS is making a major move this fall—and Sam Hanna is leading the charge.
LL COOL J will return to the NCIS franchise not only through a surprise appearance on NCIS, but as the central figure in the upcoming spinoff NCIS: New York. The new series pairs him with Hawaii Five-0 veteran Scott Caan as they take on high-stakes cases in one of the nation’s busiest and most strategic locations.
The network has positioned the show carefully within its Tuesday lineup, airing it between NCIS and NCIS: Origins. The schedule highlights CBS’s ongoing investment in expanding the franchise with interconnected storytelling across multiple series.
For viewers who followed Sam throughout NCIS: Los Angeles, the character’s return offers both nostalgia and a fresh direction.
With production underway and a fall premiere planned, NCIS: New York is already shaping up to be one of the franchise’s biggest launches yet. 📡
