NCIS is returning with a new spinoff called NCIS: New York, a clear signal that the famed police procedural series is not yet done expanding its franchise. With CBS greenlighting the project, avid viewers can expect to see familiar faces as well as new ones.

CBS Officially Confirms NCIS: New York Is Coming This Fall

CBS has officially ordered a new NCIS series set to premiere this fall (via Paramount Press Express). The recently announced 2026–2027 schedule from the network also revealed that it will air on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m., in between NCIS, which starts at 8 p.m., and NCIS: Origins at 10 p.m.

According to the official synopsis, the spinoff will follow Agent Sam Hanna, who returns to his hometown in New York City and partners up with a roguish agent. Together, they will lead a team tasked to defend one of the world’s most important cities.

Hanna is a familiar character to fans, having appeared in the original show and later starring as a co-lead in NCIS: Los Angeles. He has also made appearances across other spin-offs, so it is only fitting that he takes the lead in this new project.

Byron Balasco will serve as the spinoff’s showrunner; Scott Gemmill, who is the genius behind 14 seasons of NCIS: Los Angeles, writes the pilot episode for NCIS: New York.
