NCIS thrives on family dynamics, whether it’s the team’s camaraderie or the blossoming romances among colleagues. The franchise fosters a tight-knit community, with characters from various spin-offs frequently crossing paths. Despite some shows concluding, familiar faces like Sam Hanna from “NCIS: Los Angeles” make triumphant returns, as seen in “NCIS: Hawai’i.” Others, like Dwayne “King” Cassius Pride from “NCIS: New Orleans,” could potentially pop up in different series.
CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios President David Stapf have emphasized their openness to these crossovers, provided they serve the story organically. They prioritize narrative integrity over gimmicks, ensuring that each appearance feels meaningful. While Scott Bakula, who portrayed Pride, hasn’t confirmed his return, the executives remain receptive to spin-offs featuring other beloved characters.
In the NCIS universe, interconnectedness reigns supreme, creating a welcoming environment that always embraces the return of its extended family members.
