CBS is officially expanding the NCIS universe once again — and this time, the franchise is heading to one of the world’s most iconic cities.
Set to premiere in Fall 2026, NCIS: New York will follow fan-favorite agent Sam Hanna as he returns to his hometown to lead a brand-new investigative team protecting the city. After years as a central figure in NCIS: Los Angeles, LL Cool J’s return instantly connects the spinoff to the franchise’s legacy.
Joining him is Hawaii Five-0 star Scott Caan, who will play a “roguish agent” partnering with Hanna on high-stakes cases across New York City.
The series will air Tuesday nights at 9 p.m., perfectly positioned between NCIS and NCIS: Origins, creating a powerful three-hour franchise block.
With experienced NCIS: LA producer Scott Gemmill writing the pilot, expectations are already high for the next chapter in the long-running procedural universe. 🗽📺
