CBS has confirmed that one of television’s longest-running series, NCIS, will continue its legacy with a renewal for Season 24. The network announced the exciting news on January 22, following the success of the show, which recently celebrated its milestone 500th episode in its 23rd season. With over two decades of captivating audiences, NCIS remains a cornerstone of CBS programming.
As for the upcoming season, details remain somewhat under wraps. Although an exact premiere date has not been announced, it is anticipated to take place in the fall of the 2026-2027 season, likely in late September or early October. Fans can expect the show to maintain its popular Tuesday night time slot at 8/7c.
The cast for Season 24 is expected to include familiar faces such as Sean Murray as Special Agent Timothy McGee, Rocky Carroll as NCIS Director Leon Vance, and Gary Cole as NCIS Special Agent Alden Parker. Other returning stars include Wilmer Valderrama as Special Agent Nickolas “Nick” Torres, Brian Dietzen as Dr. Jimmy Palmer, Diona Reasonover as Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines, and Katrina Law as Special Agent Jessica Knight. It remains to be seen whether the entire cast will return for the new season.
NCIS, which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, follows a dedicated team of special agents investigating crimes linked to the Navy or Marine Corps. As viewers look forward to the unfolding narrative, any specifics about Season 24 will likely depend on how Season 23 draws to a close.
In addition to the flagship series, other NCIS iterations are also thriving, including the prequel NCIS: Origins and the international series NCIS: Sydney, both of which have been renewed for additional seasons. However, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which featured beloved characters played by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, was short-lived, concluding after just one season.
The renewal of NCIS not only highlights the series’ enduring popularity but also offers fans continued engagement with characters and stories they have come to love over the years. As the show prepares for its next chapter, anticipation is building for what lies ahead in Season 24.
