Goodbye Michael Weatherly 
I thought it was a great send off & finish to the four-part story arc.
Big shock for Tony though, would never have prericted that.
Good to hear two new cast members have been signed (Jennifer & Wilmer) and the MI6 agent & the FBI fill-in are also returning for next season.
All other cast have signed on for two more years.
NCIS will at least make 15 years 
I definitely did not see it coming that Ziva had a secret daughter. The little girl survived the fire and is now in the good care of Tony. Quite a nice way for Michael Weatherly to leave the show.
The promotion of Duane Henry (MI6 agent Clayton Reeves) to series regular was big news in his hometown of Birmingham in England: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/how-birmingham-actor-duane-henry-11408887
It also means two Brits will star in NCIS from next season (the other is David McCallum who plays Ducky).
Just caught up with the season finale of NCIS: New Orleans season 2, one day before the start of season 3. Then I read Zoe McLellan, who plays Brody, is leaving the show for “creative reasons”. She will be replaced by Vanessa Ferlito (Graceland), who plays a FBI special agent sent from Washington to investigate the NCIS: NO team.
Gary Glasberg, showrunner for NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans, has died at just 50. Reports say he died in his sleep. Glasberg joined NCIS in 2009 as a co-executive producer/writer and was named showrunner in 2011. He only recently signed a three-year contract extension with CBS TV Studios which would have expired in 2019.
Brisbane singer Grace Sewell has a cameo in the second episode of the current third season of NCIS: New Orleans, performing two songs. However it won’t be shown on Ten until February next year at the earliest.
NCIS Is Back With A Killer New Season.
Three New Recruits Join The NCIS Team.
Returning Tuesday7 February At 8.30pm. On TEN And WIN Network.
The world’s most-watched drama, NCIS, returns to Australian television with new cast members and a new season of explosive storylines from Tuesday 7 February at 8.30pm on TEN and WIN Network.
The show’s 14th season brings three new cast members.
Wilmer Valderrama (That ‘70s Show, Grey’s Anatomy) plays Special Agent Nicholas Torres, a once-grounded NCIS field agent with previous experience on a deep undercover assignment. This charismatic agent has a dedication to job and country that means he is known as an unpredictable, loose cannon.
Jennifer Esposito (Blue Bloods, Spin City) is Special Agent Alexandra Quinn. Hand-picked by Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon) because of her sharp wit and quick mind, she quickly proves she is an immensely talented federal agent.
Duane Henry also joins the team as M16 Officer Clayton Reeves, a successful and clever British agent who assists his NCIS counterparts as a terror liaison during complicated times.
I feel like whoever writes the networks press releases should really write here
‘On the TEN and WIN Networks’
For the second year in a row there will be a crossover between NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans. The two part story “Pandora’s Box” will air in the US on Valentine’s Day. Ten treated the last crossover (“Crescent City”) badly, showing the two episodes on separate weeks. Just hope this time it will show Pandora’s Box on the same week if not the same night.
Season 3 of NCIS: New Orleans premieres this Sunday (March 12) at 9.40pm. Grace Sewell’s cameo will air on March 19.
NCIS: New Orleans will have its first original novel titled Crossroads. Written by Jeff Mariotte, it will be released in Australia next week. Here is the synopsis:
NCIS is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation’s security. In a city that keeps surviving disaster, one elite team is dedicated to making its shores a little safer. During the famous Mardi Gras parade, a young Naval oceanographer plunges to his death from a hotel balcony. It’s up to Pride and his crew to investigate. But this is a case that goes from grisly to utterly strange. A gris-gris bag found in the victim’s belongings, a trail of mystical clues, and the haunting figure of a voodoo loa on CCTV at the crime scene all suggest that dark powers are at work in The Big Easy.
Tonight is fantastic 
A cross-over double-up, with NCIS + NCIS New Orleans.
Titles “Pandora’s Box - Part 1” (NCIS) & “Pandora’s Box - Part 2” (NCIS New Orleans).
Both airing back-to-back.
How would this double-ep be released on DVD? 
Yes it was a fantastic crossover. I saw it back in February and was able to enjoy it again tonight with captions on my TV. Ten did the right thing after botching last year’s crossover, although this made a few fans of NCIS: Los Angeles not happy. (NCIS: LA will be back next week)
We can wait a week for NCIS: LA. The season’s nearly over anyway. Ten did the right thing.
Too difficult to understand American? 
The five remaining episodes of NCIS season 4 will be shown at 8.30pm Tuesdays from July 25.
It won’t air next Tuesday as movie Aloha will air instead in its place.
Returns
Tuesday 8 August at 8.30pm with S14 Ep20, A Bowl Of Cherries
After a vice admiral’s laptop is infected with ransomware, he enlists McGee and the NCIS team to track down the hacker before the computer virus eliminates his personal and professional files.
NCIS season 14 is out on DVD despite it not being finished airing in Australia.
I think the release date was planned well in advance so it occurred after the season finished its run on Ten. It changed when Ten decided to rest the season for a few weeks to make way for Shark Tank.
