Here’s the latest on NCIS: New York cast.
LL Cool J is returning to the NCIS franchise in a newly ordered spinoff titled NCIS: New York, with Scott Caan co-starring. The network announced the series as part of its 2026-2027 schedule, placing the new show in the 9/8c slot on CBS Tuesdays, alongside the flagship NCIS. This marks a notable expansion of the franchise.[1][5][6]
The news confirms LL Cool J will reprise his role as Special Agent Sam Hanna, and Scott Caan will also star, signaling a both familiar and fresh dynamic for the new series. CBS described the expansion as part of a broader plan to grow the NCIS universe and launch new hits.[5][1]
For context, the broader NCIS universe continues to evolve with related projects and potential crossovers in development or discussion, but the official primary update here centers on NCIS: New York being ordered and casting LL Cool J and Scott Caan in lead roles.[6][5]
Illustration example: A hypothetical network schedule image could show NCIS at 8/7c, NCIS: New York at 9/8c, and Origins at 10/9c on CBS Tuesdays in the fall 2026 lineup.
