All 3 NCIS Shows Pulled From CBS Schedule For Another Week
Jennifer is a TV and Movie News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.
Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.
Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.
She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.
During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

All the NCIS series won't be returning for another week after NBC pulls it from its schedule.
The NCIS franchise consists of several crime procedural drama series following investigations involving the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Originally created by Donald P. Bellisario, the property is named after the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, a law enforcement organization that operates under the Department of the Navy.
CBS is making a temporary change to its Tuesday night schedule, with all three NCIS shows taking a break during the week of Thanksgiving. The network will not air new episodes of NCIS, NCIS: New York, or NCIS: Origins on November 24, 2026. However, viewers don't have to worry, as they won't have to wait too long for new episodes from the hit franchise to be released.
The scheduling change affects the network's entire Tuesday night NCIS lineup. All three series air back-to-back from 8:00 PM ET to 11:00 PM ET. Although the franchise will take a break the week of Thanksgiving, new episodes of all are still scheduled for November 17, 2026, before the hit shows take a week off and return on December 1, 2026.
According to CBS' official schedule, reruns will air instead of new episodes while the shows take a short break. The network has not specifically said that the holiday was the reason for pausing the shows. So anything stating that Thanksgiving is the reason behind the short break is only speculation at the time of this article's publication.
The franchise began in 2003 when the original NCIS was introduced to audiences through a two-part episode of the military drama series JAG. Following its official premiere on CBS later that year, the show became an instant hit, resulting in several spinoffs that are just as successful, keeping the franchise alive to this very day.
