NCIS is an American military police procedural television series and the first installment within the NCIS media franchise. The series revolves around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), combining elements of the military drama and police procedural genres with comedy. The concept and characters were initially introduced with two episodes of the CBS series JAG (season eight episodes 20 and 21: "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown"); as a spin-off from JAG, the series premiered on September 23, 2003, on CBS. To date, it has entered into the 21st full season[3] and has gone into broadcast syndication on the USA Network. Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill are co-creators and executive producers of the premiere member of the NCIS franchise., NCIS is the third-longest-running scripted, live-action U.S. prime-time TV series currently airing, surpassed only by (1999–present) and Law & Order (1990–2010; 2022–present); it is the seventh-longest-running scripted U.S. prime-time TV series overall.

The series originally had the partly redundant title Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service; this was later shortened to NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service and then to NCIS. In season six, a two-part episode led to a spin-off series, . Another two-part episode, during the 11th season, led to a second spin-off series, .

Though reception was initially tepid, with ratings barely cracking the top 30 during the first two seasons, the third season showed progress and consistently ranked in the top 20. In 2011, NCIS was voted "America's favorite television show" in an online Harris Poll. At the end of its 10th season, it was the most-watched television series in the U.S. during the 2012–13 network television season. NCIS also surpassed Gunsmokes record for longest-running scripted primetime television series to air on CBS. On January 5, 2024, it was announced that the prequel, , will be aired during the 2024–25 season, as another spin-off series;[4] a second spin-off, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, was announced on February 28, 2024, as a series exclusive to Paramount+.[5] [6]

On April 9, 2024, NCIS was renewed for a 22nd season.[7]

Premise

NCIS is an American police procedural (fictional) drama series, detailing the experiences and stories of a team of special agents who work for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). The team, called the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) primarily responds to high-visibility crimes; NCIS is the main federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of the Navy, investigating Navy- and Marine Corps (USMC)-related criminal activities (e.g. deaths, force protection, treason, etc.), as well as their associated branches of government.

In the series, the NCIS is based at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., where it was led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former USMC gunnery sergeant scout sniper (and a skilled investigator, until his suspension late in season 18). Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker (a former FBI special agent) now leads the team, following his appointment early in season 19.

Production

Title

Before the launch of the first season, advertisements on CBS identified the show as "Naval CIS". By the time of the launch of the first episode, NCIS was airing under the name Navy NCIS, the name it held for the entire first season. Since the "N" in NCIS stands for "Naval", the name "Navy NCIS" was redundant. The decision to use this name was reportedly made by CBS, over the objections of Bellisario,[8] who preferred the old title because he felt it would:

Development

In 2011, NCIS was voted America's favorite television show in an online Harris poll.[10] NCIS finished its 10th season as the most-watched television series in the U.S. during the 2012–13 network television season.[11] Diona Reasonover joined the main cast in season 16,[12] following the departures of Duane Henry and Pauley Perrette.[13] NCIS was renewed for a seventeenth season on April 11, 2019,[14] which premiered on September 24, 2019,[15] and for an eighteenth season in May 2020. The season premiered on November 17, 2020.[16]

Flair

From the season two episode "Lt. Jane Doe" onwards, the series began showing two-second-long black-and-white clips. These clips (called "phoofs")[17] are shown at the beginning of every segment depicting the last two seconds of that segment, a segment being the five or six portions of the show meant to be separated by commercials. Additionally, starting with the season three premiere, "Kill Ari (Part I)," a freeze-frame shot was also used at the very end of most episodes as well.

Crew changes

It was reported in May 2007 that Donald P. Bellisario would be stepping down from the show.[18] Due to a disagreement with series star Mark Harmon, Bellisario's duties as showrunner/head writer were to be given to long-time show collaborators, including co-executive producer Chas. Floyd Johnson and Shane Brennan, with Bellisario retaining his title as executive producer.[19] In fall 2009, Gary Glasberg joined the crew and became the new "day-to-day" runner of NCIS because Shane Brennan had to focus on his new show, the spin-off .[20] On September 28, 2016, Glasberg died in his sleep at the age of 50.[21] [22]

The premise for the episodes are, according to Glasberg, "all about this tiny little NCIS office that's down [in New Orleans], and the kind of cases that they come across".[61] In May 2014, CBS picked up an NCIS second spin-off series with the title .[62]
