The NCIS universe continues to grow—and one of its most beloved agents is at the center of the expansion.
LL COOL J is returning as Sam Hanna, first in a surprise appearance on NCIS and then as the lead of the upcoming spinoff NCIS: New York. The new series will pair him with Hawaii Five-0 alum Scott Caan as the two agents tackle major threats in one of the world’s most important cities.
According to CBS, the story follows Sam as he returns to his hometown and helps guide a new field office team through complex investigations tied to national security and port protection.
The series will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m., positioned between flagship drama NCIS and prequel NCIS: Origins, strengthening the franchise’s weekly lineup.
For fans who followed Sam across 14 seasons of NCIS: Los Angeles, his return signals a major continuation of one of the franchise’s most iconic character journeys. 📺
