NCIS Gears Up for Dramatic Holiday Special and Exciting Spin-Offs
NCIS is back with its annual festive special, blending holiday cheer with high-stakes drama. This year’s episode, Humbug, airs Monday, December 16, at 9 PM on CBS. The team faces a race against time when a scandalous tell-all book threatens the legacy of a decorated Marine, and they must uncover the truth before the holidays are ruined.
NCIS has a rich tradition of holiday-themed episodes. Memorable ones include Season 6’s Silent Night, where a Marine presumed dead resurfaces, and Season 12’s House Rules, which reflects on the team’s bond. The holiday specials mix crime-solving with heartwarming moments, making them fan favorites.
Meanwhile, the NCIS universe is expanding. The newly launched NCIS: Sydney brings action to Australia, airing on Paramount+ and CBS, while NCIS: Origins, set in 1991, delves into a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ early career. Mark Harmon narrates and occasionally appears on screen, as the show explores his bond with mentor Mike Franks.
Next year, fans can look forward to NCIS: Tony & Ziva, a spin-off centered on the beloved duo Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). Weatherly recently expressed excitement about reprising his role, saying, “NCIS is about family, love, and navigating perilous circumstances—it has a global impact.”
Catch new episodes of NCIS every Monday on CBS, with past episodes streaming on Paramount+. Don’t miss the holiday special on December 16!
