\n\tCBS has greenlit a new \u201cNCIS<\/a>\u201d spinoff set in New York City starring LL Cool J<\/a> and Scott Caan<\/a>, which will premiere this fall.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNCIS: New York<\/a>\u201d marks a return to the franchise for LL Cool J. He reprises the role of Sam Hanna after starring in all 14 seasons of \u201cNCIS: Los Angeles\u201d from 2009 to 2023, with additional appearances in the flagship \u201cNCIS\u201d series as well as \u201cNCIS: Hawai\u2019i.\u201d He will appear in two upcoming episodes of \u201cNCIS\u201d on April 21 and April 28.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Caan, the new role extends a long career at CBS, as he previously played Danny \u201cDanno\u201d Williams in \u201cHawaii Five-0\u201d for all ten seasons from 2010 to 2020 \u2014 even appearing in an \u201cNCIS: Los Angeles\u201d episode during a crossover between the two series. In \u201cNCIS: New York,\u201d however, he will play a new character.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pilot for \u201cNCIS: New York\u201d was written by Scott Gemmill, who wrote on all 14 seasons of \u201cNCIS: Los Angeles\u201d and served as showrunner for seven seasons; he now serves as writer and creator of \u201cThe Pitt on HBO Max. Byron Balasco, who was a writer-producer on CBS\u2019 \u201cWithout a Trace\u201d and created the Audience Network series \u201cKingdom,\u201d will serve as showrunner on \u201cNCIS: New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNews of \u201cNCIS: New York\u201d came from a press briefing in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where CBS also announced its full fall schedule<\/a> as well as renewals for \u201cBeyond the Gates\u201d<\/a> and \u201cHarlan Coben\u2019s Final Twist\u201d<\/a> and the development of \u201cFlint,\u201d a cop drama starring Matt LeBlanc.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLL is like a member of our family at CBS, and he\u2019s done pop-ins at \u2018NCIS\u2019 the last two years, and it\u2019s been really successful,\u201d CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said at the event. \u201cAnd the opportunity for Sam Hanna \u2014 who is originally from New York but lived in LA for \u2018NCIS: LA\u2019 \u2014 to send him back home felt like a really ripe creative space to play in. \u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNCIS\u201d premiered on CBS in 2003 and will debut its 24th season this fall. Besides \u201cNCIS: New York,\u201d there are two current spinoffs in the franchise: CBS\u2019 fall 2026 lineup features Season 3 of \u201cNCIS: Origins\u201d and Season 4 of \u201cNCIS: Sydney.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPast spinoffs include \u201cNCIS: Tony & Ziva,\u201d which was canceled by Paramount+ last fall after one season. That sparked a loud reaction from fans, who generated a \u201csave our show\u201d campaign in an attempt to get the show revived, perhaps on CBS. Asked if CBS considered bringing \u201cTony & Ziva\u201d to the network, Reisenbach said no: \u201cWe really wanted to bring the Sam Hanna character back,\u201d she said of opting to go the LL Cool J direction instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CBS has greenlit a new \u201cNCIS\u201d spinoff set in New York City starring LL Cool J and Scott…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[40649,79069,79070,9,11,10,79071,79072],"class_list":["post-198797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-ll-cool-j","tag-ncis","tag-ncis-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-scott-caan","tag-upfronts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
