NCIS fans will have to wait a bit longer for a new episode tonight, March 11, as the show is taking a scheduled break. Unlike the previous Thursday night shows impacted by State of the Union coverage, CBS is airing a rerun of NCIS in its regular time slot. This break is likely part of the strategy to manage the reduced episode count resulting from last summer and fall’s writers and actors strike, ensuring consistent programming until the end of the TV season in May.
NCIS season 21 is set to return with new episodes on Monday, March 25, according to the official CBS schedule. This means fans will have to wait another week after this one for fresh content. However, during this break, viewers have the opportunity to catch up on missed episodes, starting with the season premiere re-airing on CBS on March 11 at 9 pm ET/PT. The episode airing on March 18 will be the second of the season. For those wanting to catch up on any of the first four episodes at their own pace, subscribing to Paramount Plus provides access to all NCIS episodes on-demand.
Regarding CBS’s Monday schedule on March 11, NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 is also on break, with no new episode airing on March 11 or March 18. However, CBS’s other Monday shows, The Neighborhood season 6 and Bob Hearts Abishola season 5, will air new episodes at their usual times of 8 pm ET/PT and 8:30 pm ET/PT, respectively.
