CBS Pulls All Three NCIS Series for Thanksgiving Week Break Nov. 24
CBS will air no new episodes of NCIS, NCIS: Origins or NCIS: New York on November 24, running reruns ahead of Thanksgiving. It is the franchise's second break this month. New episodes return December 1, after all three shows air their sixth episodes on November 17.
CBS will air no new episodes of any of its three NCIS series on November 24, putting the franchise on a Thanksgiving-week break with reruns in the slot. The pause is the second this month for the long-running procedural franchise.
Regular programming returns December 1. Only a few weeks of new episodes will remain after that before the midseason finales air.
Second break in November
NCIS Tuesdays already paused to make room for Midterm election coverage at the start of November. The Thanksgiving gap follows soon after.
Holding back episodes around the holiday is typical for CBS, even when the shows are not airing on Thanksgiving Day itself.
What airs November 17
Each of the three series will air its sixth episode of the season on November 17, the last new installments before the break.
NCIS Season 24 leads with "Ride or Die." Special Agent Torres, played by Wilmer Valderrama, goes deep undercover on a high-stakes mission. He is forced to act as the getaway driver for a kidnapper who is as dangerous as he is mysterious, played by True Blood alum James Frain.
Torres must lean on his past work and play along to make sure everyone in the car survives.
At 9 p.m., NCIS: New York airs "My Companion." The episode puts the New York team at the center of a sensitive case. A Navy admiral sacrifices himself to save an AI tech mogul who was the high-profile target of an assassination.
Where the franchise stands
The flagship NCIS is in the middle of its 24th season. Tony DiNozzo, played by Michael Weatherly, has returned as the new director of the agency.
The season has also featured the trial of McGee's son, who is accused of hacking the NCIS database. McGee is played by Sean Murray. Torres, meanwhile, has been facing his dark past.
CBS took the formula to the Big Apple for the first time with NCIS: New York, starring LL COOL J as Sam Hanna. Mark Harmon is back for one more dangerous mission in NCIS: Origins Season 3.
The three-show lineup goes dark for new material on November 24 and resumes December 1.
