CBS Eyes Fourth NCIS Series; Latest Spinoff Would Be Set in Hawaii
TV Line ^ | February 16, 2021 | Michael Ausiello

Posted on 02/16/2021 4:48:00 PM PST by EdnaMode

CBS is looking to expand the NCIS franchise outside the contiguous United States.

TVLine has learned that the Eye network is in the early stages of developing a new iteration of NCIS, this one set in Hawaii. This would mark CBS’ third NCIS spinoff and the fourth NCIS series overall, joining the Mark Harmon-headlined mothership, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.

A CBS spokesperson declined to comment for this story.

Prior to the franchise’s newest entry, NCIS: New Orleans, launching in 2014, CBS was developing NCIS: Red, an offshoot centering on a mobile anti-terrorist unit dubbed the Red Team. The project — which was to star John Corbett, Kim Raver, Scott Grimes, Edwin Hodge, and Gillian Alexy — did not make it past the backdoor pilot stage.

The NCIS franchise was born via a two-part, April 2003 episode of JAG that introduced Mark Harmon’s Gibbs, Michael Weatherly’s DiNozzo, Pauley Perrette’s Abby and David McCallum’s Ducky. When JAG leads David James Elliott and Catherine Bell briefly reprised their roles as Navy Captain “Harm” Rabb Jr.and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie on NCIS:LA in 2019, there was buzz that CBS was testing the waters for a a full-fledged JAG revival.

Reacting to said scuttlebutt, NCIS: LA showrunner R. Scott Gemmill said at the time, “I never say never to anything. It’s really up to [CBS]. That’s not my call to make.”

I use to enjoy the New Orleans version with Scott Bakula(sp?) until the episode with the ending where the black medical examiner tells her son .. “There is a Black Lives Matter protest today and .. We are going!!”

Never watched another episode!

Besides, Real Life Christian, Lucas Black left the show and I had no reason to continue watching anyway!

JAG was worth watching just for Catherine Bell....an absolutely stunning American-Iranian beauty.

What it really does is condition the generally dumb public that ‘federal agents’ can do whatever they want.

NCIS New Orleans is now basically a liberals do no wrong, and the NCIS idiots show how racist and dumb the New Orleans’ cops are. Nothing really to do with our Navy.

“I propose they name the next one NCIS Gay.”

Their New Orleans loser has a Lesbo NCIS officer living with a ???? white NCIS as a room mate.

They took an interesting concept and had a pretty good show. Problem is it Jumped the Shark a long time ago and should have finished it’s run.

Most of the original characters are gone and the replacements are terrible as are the story lines. Mark Harmon is looking long in the tooth and as someone pointed out should have retired a long time ago.

My favorite recurring character, till they killed him off, was Mike Franks, and I also liked the woman who the Director before they killed her off also.

Too many NCIS shows and I cannot watch LA and New Orleans, Lord those fake accents. Gave up on the original a long time ago. Robert Wagner as Denozo’s father was always a hoot, he still acted like Alexander Mundy, from It Takes A Thief.

I couldn’t get into NO.

LA has run out of script ideas. It has become more silly than dramatic.

TV Series seem to run out of steam after about 5 years.

We need to counter with jury nullification for all Fed cases to weaken the DOJ and police state agencies. The DOJ and police state are the tip of the spear for tyranny. They will and are coming after conservatives exercising their constitutional rights.

Even if defendants are guilty, acquittal. The DOJ only goes after the peasants and they leave the deep state elites alone.

Does anybody here think DOJ will go after any swamp creature of consequence now? They didn’t under Trump and never will under a Chinese pawn like Biden.

What song by the WHO would be used in the intro?

I would suggest “Squeezebox”!

I knew he was still on the show, about the only character left who is interesting and he was on, The Man From UNCLE, a great 1960’s show.

It might be titled “Hawaii Ho Hos” or “NCIS Does Hawaii”.
