NCIS: New York is an upcoming American police procedural action crime drama television series scheduled to premiere on October 6, 2026 on CBS.[1] A spin-off of NCIS, the series will feature LL Cool J reprising his character of Sam Hanna from NCIS: Los Angeles, leading a team of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service based in New York City.

Premise

Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) – a former Special Agent of the Office of Special Projects in Los Angeles – returns to his hometown of New York City to lead a team of NCIS alongside a "roguish" partner, Nick Schaeffer (Scott Caan).[2]

Cast

Main

  • LL Cool J as Sam Hanna, NCIS Senior Special Agent and ex–Navy SEAL and former second-in-command of the Office of Special Projects.
  • Scott Caan as Nick Schaeffer, a roguish NCIS agent who becomes Hanna's new partner when he returns to New York.
  • Jennifer Beals as Robyn Wells, the director of the NCIS New York field office who leads with her intuition and is widely respected by her team.
  • Jacqueline Byers as Addison "Addy" Ross, an NCIS Special Agent who is a rock-solid, tough and resourceful agent with something to prove.
  • Shane Harper as Wyatt Hill, an NCIS Special Agent who is fearless, sharp, highly skilled in the field and a hopeless romantic.
  • Devin Druid as Sean Sullivan, an NCIS tech specialist who is witty and brilliant but resistant to authority.

Development

After the 2023 cancellation of NCIS: Los Angeles after 14 seasons, LL Cool J joined season 3 of NCIS: Hawaiʻi as a recurring guest star, reprising his character of Special Agent Sam Hanna. In late-2025, CBS Studios began to pitch a New York City–based spin-off focused on Hanna to LL Cool J. At his suggestion, CBS brought on R. Scott Gemmill—who had previously served as showrunner and executive producer of NCIS: Los Angeles—to write the pilot; he would draft the script during a Christmas break in production on The Pitt. Gemmill explained that he was excited by the project because it was a return "home" for both Hanna and LL Cool J, and because New York was "the burning center of the universe".[2] Byron Balasco was brought on as showrunner.[2] Scott Caan was cast as Hanna's partner; Caan had previously participated in an NCIS: Los Angeles crossover with Hawaii Five-0.[2]

On April 15, 2026, CBS announced that it had ordered NCIS: New York to series as part of its fall lineup for the 2026–27 television season.[3] LL Cool J explained that the show would "be a lot of fun", and have "a lot of sarcasm, lot of banter, lot of witty repartees, lot of New York. It's gonna be everything you need to get."[2] In July 2026, Jennifer Beals joined the cast as the female lead.[4]
