CBS is pre-empting the NCIS franchise tonight, November 25, 2025, including NCIS Season 23, NCIS: Origins Season 2, and NCIS: Sydney Season 3. The hiatus is likely due to Thanksgiving week, with CBS airing specials like the Everybody Loves Raymond Anniversary event in place of new episodes.
Instead, fans can catch reruns: the first two hours feature the Season 23/Origins crossover with Mark Harmon, Muse Watson, and Roma Maffia, followed by Origins Episode 3, “The Edge,” focusing on young Gibbs and young Ducky.
New episodes for all three shows return Tuesday, December 2, 2025:
-
NCIS S23E07 “God Only Knows”: The team investigates a kidnapped teen and a Navy SEAL with a mysterious past, while Jimmy reveals what he discovered about Parker’s mother.
-
NCIS: Origins S2E07 “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”: The NIS tackles a Marine’s murder while Wheeler and Lala face major personal news, and Gibbs spends time with Randy and his wife.
-
NCIS: Sydney S3E07 “Gold Digger”: A naval officer’s arrest leads the team into the hunt for the legendary Yamashita’s Gold.
For fans, the brief break is a chance to revisit past episodes before the new storylines kick off next week.
