This NCIS Trend Makes Me Nervous For The Future Of 1 Spinoff

I’m starting to get nervous about the future of an NCIS spinoff series because of a trend sweeping the franchise. Launched in 2003 on CBS, the evolving NCIS franchise comprises eight shows, with the original having 21 seasons under its belt. Despite the longevity of the flagship series, many of the spinoffs have ended in recent years. The cancelations follow a trend shifting the nature of what NCIS presents to its audience. Following the new trend I’ve seen throughout the franchise, one series could get the ax as NCIS progresses into the future.

NCIS has an impressive track record. It recently celebrated the 1000th episode of NCIS between the flagship and its many spinoffs. However, many of the series that helped to establish the franchise’s strong past will not blaze forward into its future. Only one of the series that helped the franchise achieve its massive feat will continue in the 2024-2025 TV cycle, which boasts three NCIS series. Instead, the franchise is introducing entirely new content that is changing the future of the shared NCIS universe.
