NCIS is doing something they have never done in their nearly 20-year run. On January 2nd, the CBS dramas are going to have a one-night, three-episode crossover event.
But wait, didn’t the season start out that way? Yes, NCIS, NCIS: LA, and NCIS: Hawaii did a crossover event, but it did not air on the same night. So, that is why this is a first.
The NCISverse crossover will center around a very personal, high-stakes case to take down a mysterious hitman. Team members from the different NCIS divisions come together in Washington, D.C., to celebrate a beloved FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) professor who taught multiple squads members. On the eve of the celebration, the professor is found dead of an apparent suicide and his former students immediately suspect foul play. While investigating his past, they uncover a mysterious hitman, and the more they dig into it, the bigger the targets on their backs become. Members of the team are suddenly kidnapped and all the agents must come together to take down the assassin and save their own.
I bet if it does well, then The Neighborhood and Bob Hearts Abishola are going to find themselves on another night. As much as I would hate for that to happen, it would make total sense.
