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.
There is a cast change ahead of season 15 premiere of NCIS in the US at the end of this month. Jennifer Esposito (Alex) has left the show after just one season and will co-star opposite John Travolta in the feature Speed Kills for Hannibal Classics. Esposito will be replaced by Maria Bello, most recently seen on Amazon series Goliath. Bello will play an agent who served two tours in Afghanistan and is the current leading forensic psychologist in her field.
At the end of the episode last night there was a promo saying Brand New Season - Tuesday September 26, surely we won’t be getting it hours before the US?
Interesting development if true!
That would never happen.
It would be a great way to make people start watching the US dramas on FTA again
Ten will fasttrack season 9 of NCIS: Los Angeles at 9.30pm Tuesdays from October 3, one day after the US due to time difference.
Nia Long joins the show as new executive assistant director Shay Mosely, replacing Miguel Ferrer, who played Owen Granger for five seasons before his death in January this year.
Pauley Parrette is leaving NCIS at the end of the 15th season. She has played Abby since the show began in 2003. Going to be a big loss as her character provides a lot of fun and wackiness.
The 15th season premieres on Ten on Tuesday, October 17.
One will repeat the first season of NCIS with double episodes at 8.30pm Mondays from October 9, according to a promo shown tonight.
Ten will show season 4 of NCIS New Orleans on October 22 starting with a double ep
Interesting we’re getting all 3 seasons in one go.
I’ll personally probably stockpile NO till 2018 when LA and NCIS are finished. I think it’s overkill showing all 3 at exact same time of year.
So is CBS making a mistake showing all three at the same time of the year?
then the same people will say why didn’t they fast track it. That if they hold it off to 2018, then it won’t be a success.
What does CBS have to do with it?
I just think 3x NCIS series on the Ten schedule each week is a bit much. Then when they finish at roughly the same time, back to a stack of repeats across the schedule.
Referencing the fact that CBS runs the 3 series concurrently in the US.
Not really relevant to Ten. It’s great CBS can make it work as part of a larger schedule for them.
With Ten’s lack of content, having weeks and weeks of repeats permeating the primetime schedule in middle of winter (peak survey) is unacceptable.
Unless they can guarantee absolute minimum 500k for each series (800k for the original) in the current schedule, it’s not worth wasting it all and tiring the audience. Better to show two now and one later to ensure new content across the year.
Episode 3 and 4 of NCIS: New Orleans are scheduled next Sunday. If episode 5 and 6 are shown on Sunday November 5 we will be up to date with the US, with episode 6 shown five days after the CBS broadcast.
Wisdom of the Crowd debuts 5 November so it will probably take the place of one of those episodes.
