Summary
- All three NCIS shows are pausing new episodes for the holidays.

CBS is adjusting the schedules for its popular NCIS programming, encompassing NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and the recently launched NCIS: NY. New episodes will pause for the holiday season, with no new installments airing on November 24. The shows are slated to return with fresh content on December 1. Following this return, all three series will take another break for their mid-season finales before resuming their runs in early next year.
NCIS: NY, which premiered in October, is highlighted for its unique setting in New York City. Showrunner Byron Balasco emphasized the city's role as a microcosm of the nation, celebrating its diversity and cultural collision. While acknowledging filming challenges, such as unpredictable weather, Balasco noted the constant visual interest the city offers, aiming for authentic, ground-level portrayals.
The NCIS universe, which originated from JAG, has grown significantly with multiple successful spin-offs. NCIS: NY is positioned to appeal to a broad audience, designed to have the core DNA of the franchise while establishing its own identity. The series aims to focus on its characters and stories, fostering viewer attachment.
