CBS has announced exclusively via Entertainment Weekly that in January 2023, a three-show crossover event for the first time with NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, and NCIS: Hawai’i. Popular agents from each show will join forces to solve a case together in a suspenseful narrative, as they try to take down a peculiar and virtuoso hitman—with a number of their own agents as the hitman’s targets.
Fans can anticipate seeing NCIS‘ Wilmer Valderrama (That 70s Show, Yo Momma), Brian Dietzen (Nowhere to Hide), Gary Cole (Talladega Nights, Dodgeball); NCIS: Los Angeles‘ LL Cool J (Deep Blue Sea, In Too Deep) and Chris O’Donnell (Batman Forever, Max Payne); NCIS: Hawai’i‘s Noah Mills (Sex and the City), Vanessa Lachey (Disaster Movie, Love is Blind), and Yasmine Al-Bustami (The Chosen, Lucky) and others in the three episodes.
NCIS is one of the longest-running primetime television dramas currently in its landmark 20th season. The drama stars Cole as Alden Parker, Katrina Law (Training Day, Arrow) as Jessica Knight, Sean Murray (Hocus Pocus, Deep Blue Sea) as Timothy McGee, and Dietzen as Jimmy Palmer.
NCIS’ newest franchise spinoff addition, NCIS: Hawai’i, is currently airing its second season. NCIS: Hawai’i stars Lachey as Jane Tennant, Mills as Jesse Boone, Al-Bustami as Lucy Tara, and Alex Tarrant (Night Raiders) as Kai Holman.
The spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles is preparing for its season 14 premiere on October 9. The spinoff stars LL Cool J as Sam Hanna and O’Donnell as G. Callen. NCIS: Los Angeles was first introduced in a two-part clandestine pilot with NCIS.
NCIS has done other two-part crossovers with its fellow counterparts, including NCIS: Hawai’i, which dropped earlier this season, and NCIS: New Orleans. NCIS’ spinoff NCIS: New Orleans concluded on May 23, 2021, and ran for a total of four seasons.
The crossover episodes are presently in production and arranged to broadcast in January on CBS. The exact broadcast date has not yet been disclosed.
