CBS picked up ten of their shows for next season today, but Watson and DMZ were not two of them.
What did they pick up? Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Matlock, Elsbeth, Fire Country, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Sydney, Survivor, and The Amazing Race. They join the series that were already picked up for the 2026=2027 season: Boston Blue, Sheriff Country, FBI, Ghosts, and two new series, Cupertino and Einstein.
CBS also had not made a decision on the upcoming scripted originals, CIA and Marshalls, and Hollywood Squares and The Road.
With all of that, there is not a lot of room for anything else, like a potential Tracker or Ghosts spinoff.
Before kids were dressing up as Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven from Stranger Things for Halloween, she was dressing up as Harry Potter to go trick-or-treating on NCIS. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 2014 episode?
Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) are NCIS’s most famous couple, even though both have not been regulars on the series for a long time. Therefore, Paramount+ decided to give them a series where they investigated crimes in Europe.
With all of that going on, it sounds like it will be a hit. Well, NCIS: Tony &Zi wasn’t. So, today, comes news that the show was cancelled after just one season.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to play these characters once again and to tell the next chapter of Tony and Ziva’s story,” Weatherly and de Pablo said in a statement. “Our deepest thanks go to our extraordinary cast, crew, writers, directors, and producers, and to our partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+ who helped make this dream a reality. But most of all, we want to thank the fans around the world who joined us on this adventure and finally got to see Tony and Ziva find their happily ever after.”
Earlier this week, CBS announced that Mark Harmon will reprise his role as Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS: Origins. Today, they shared a photo of him dressed up as the character he played for over 18 years, and I can’t believe we have not seen him like that for four years.
So what would bring Harmon out of on-camera retirement (he is the narrator on the prequel)? His return is for a crossover episode between NCIS: Origins and NCIS: OG.
When a naval officer mysteriously dies in the ‘90s, Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and the team travel to the small dust-blown town of Serenity, Calif., where they encounter secret-harboring residents, an uncooperative sheriff and an investigation that will reverberate for decades.
CBS had a HUGE surprise for the fans of the NCIS franchise today. They announced that Mark Harmon will make an on-camera guest appearance on NCIS: Origins, the show on which he is the narrator, on Veterans’ Day.
In the crossover one-night event airing on Veterans Day, younger Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and the team investigate the small-town death of a naval officer in the ‘90s – a case that’s unexpectedly reopened in the present day.
Gibbs is still in Alaska, but he is not alone. So, who is he with? Please say, his real-life wife, Pam Dawber!
“I’m very proud of the storytelling that David and Gina are doing on ORIGINS,” Harmon said. “They continue to push boundaries and dive deeper into the characters’ backstories. They came to me with an idea for Gibbs that I liked, and it seemed like a good time to check in with him. I hope fans enjoy it.”
Maybe Harmon will like being on-camera again so much that he will come out of retirement?
